Hard to believe that this is legal from a ‘working’ MP. It’s certainly not appropriate - although unlikely Farage’s fabled ‘moral compass’ would be undermined by that. Pure brilliance from @ledbydonkeys.org

I voted last night for the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.

Our members campaigned for it.

The British public voted for it.

Today, this Labour government is one step closer to delivering it.

So proud to have the backing of @communityunion.bsky.social to be Labour’s Deputy Leader.

This campaign isn't about contesting the past - it's about shaping the future.

I am running to be Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

As a proud working-class woman from the North East, I have come from a tough council street all the way to the Cabinet.

I will be a strong voice to unite our Party, take the fight to Reform, and deliver for our country.

Our great Deputy Leaders have connected the heart of the Party with the head of the government - that’s what I’ll do.

I was really proud that we included Hillsborough Law in our first Kings Speech. The PM and Ministers have collaborated and worked with families and campaigners to publish this important Bill today.

We should all be really proud of this Bill and the culture change it will bring.

Nice thread @sebastiansalek on the myth of the ‘inevitability’ of Reform winning the next election. It would be better that broadcasters took a more balanced view, but if they do opt to platform Reform they should at least interrogate them. Brexit, anyone?

Sebastian Salek @sebastiansalek.com · Sep 8

Reform’s polling lead is astonishingly brittle.

The headline numbers may look impressive, but the underlying data reveals a fundamental weakness.

Thoughtful analysis by @soozuk.bsky.social of what must have been a parody performance by Jenkyns at the Nige show. She omits to remind us that if you watch it, you’ll never sleep soundly again.

Sooz Kempner @soozuk.bsky.social · Sep 6

🧵Andrea Jenkyns coming out on stage singing: a short analysis.

Firstly: the sequin jumpsuit is🔥. It suits her. But it's also more conservative than she wants us to think it is. Long sleeves. Only a tiny bit of skin on show. It's not remotely daring, it's just sparkly. And the flag broach? Too big.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings

Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters. The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.
