The public are finally seeing through Farage and I’m here for it.
I’m not sure I’ve seen a Nigel Farage press conference quite this empty

🔴 The more @andyburnham opens the conversation about Britain moving closer to Europe, the stronger Labour’s polling gets. Meanwhile Reform’s attempt to reassemble the bad boys of Brexit is losing momentum. Perhaps the country is finally moving on, the Brexit spell has been shattered. Lets move forward towards a more secure, prosperous and European future.
NEW headline voting intention from Ipsos 📊Labour on 32% with a lead of +8 – the largest Labour lead Ipsos have recorded this parliament 📊Conservatives take second place the first time since June 2025 📊Reform UK down 3 points and Greens down 5

Reform UK extend their winless run to 29 consecutive by-elections 🗳️ 1 result still pending, which could make it 30 👀

Brexit is the only project I can think of where, ten years later, the people who sold it to us are still explaining why it’s somebody else’s fault.

Bad news for right-wing doomsters and gloomsters. The economy grew 0.7% in the three months to August despite rising energy and borrowing costs. Labour is working.

Good news alert so it'll be largely ignored. UK economy growing a bit better than expected.
NEW UK GDP in August now up 0.7% on the 3 month measure… rises by 0.1% in the single month, defying expectation of a fallback after strong July. June also revised up. Heading for a decent Q3.

Reform UK down 12 points on last year. No wonder Farage and Yusuf are panicking.

Yeah I'm Labour, but I'm especially pleased by the win because; The Greens said we chose Sagal because she was a black Muslim woman, not because of her experience and expertise. The Greens said they would win. The Greens passed a divisive, racist motion at their conference.

Exactly this
Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

Removing Inheritance Tax on first homes is a big tax break for the top 5% of wealthiest families, almost all of them living in London and the South East, paid for by everybody else.

Tories want to give the wealthiest families in Britain £6bn whilst under funding our public services and cutting the aid of those most in need of it in Britain. Sadly under Badenough they've clearly not yet learned the lessons they need to

We should come down like a ton of bricks on those who are violent against women – whatever their background. Yet today, you only ever hear women's safety mentioned by right-wing politicians when they are discussing immigration. It's weaponisation. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
