Reform UK is selling black football-style shirts with “Farage No.10” on the back. They call it cheeky. Patriotic. Just a bit of fun.
But history isn’t laughing. 🧵

Thank you to the Great Harwood Branch of the Royal British Legion for a very poignant Armistice Day Service today on the Town Gate.
An impeccably observed two minutes silence from all who attended.

Basically, we need to be finding Traitor viewers that would rather be Faithfuls than Traitors to get the Labour vote out for the next set of elections. 🤷♂️

Lee Anderson boasts about “gaming the system” at Citizens Advice—then uses it to justify slashing support for anxious young people.
This isn’t a critique of CAB. It’s a dubious confession from a Reform MP who sees compassion as weakness and lived experience as fraud.

Corbyn & Sultana back on speaking terms—cue the Gallagher comparisons. But let’s be honest: we’re not at the 2025 stage of the Oasis journey. We’re still in the early albums era. A couple of bangers, then a messy fallout.

One minute Reform UK are promising £350 cuts to council tax for everyone... next minute they're RAISING it.
They over promised and are now under delivering, under the spotlight and under pressure.

Great show of support for @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader at Rochdale AFC
Angela Rayner gave the North West a powerful voice—Lucy’s ready to carry that torch and reconnect Labour with its membership.
Huge thanks to @elsieblundellmp.bsky.social for hosting such a brilliant event.

Great to meet up with my fellow @labourhousinggroup.bsky.social colleague Andy Bates today before the Accrington Stanley vs Walsall game. As members of the social housing working group, it was good to meet up in real life and discuss all things social housing.

Reform say they are the future, but it’s being staffed by the same faces who spent the last decade setting the house on fire. Now they’re selling fire extinguishers.

Lancashire Country Council's Reform leader wants fracking back in Lancashire. That means earthquakes, polluted water & plummeting house prices.
They're coming for our land, our safety, and our future. All so fossil fuel giants can pocket the £££-while Lancashire gets the fallout.

🟥 As Labour, we must not contort ourselves to chase Reform UK voters by echoing Reform's rhetoric. Our strength lies in our values—centre-left, compassionate and progressive. We need to make a compelling case for those values, not dilute them to complete in a race to the bottom.

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.
