Nobody wants #Labour to be #Tory or #Reform Lite.
The Labour Party that supported working people, women, disabled and ethnic minorities has been lost to the cynically named centre right cult of #LabourTogether…and don’t think just because Morgan McSweeney has gone its been swept away.
It lives on in key Cabinet figures such as Steve Reed, Shabana Mahmood, Lisa Nandy and Wes Streeting…and even in Starmer himself, in as much as much as he aligns with any ideology.
It’s a gift to #Greens.

The Labour Party that supported working people, women, disabled and ethnic minorities has been lost to the cynically named centre right cult of #LabourTogether…and don’t think just because Morgan McSweeney has gone its been swept away.

It’s a gift to #Greens.
As new #Green MP #HannahSpencer has just stated #gortonanddenton was 127th on the Greens list of target seats.
That means there are 126 seats where the Greens could win on a smaller swing.
But we won’t have to wait until the next byelection to see the newly invigorated Green Party roar…local elections are now back on in just a few short weeks time.
Just watch this Green momentum build.
Also just looked Hannah Spencer up on LinkedIn…she is a Gas Safe plumber, but she is also heating engineer who installs air source heat pumps, in case anyone was feeling cynical about the contradiction between installing gas boilers and being a Green Party candidate…and now MP.
Meanwhile, #Starmer appears to still be in the death grip of McSweeney’s centre-right cult of #LabourTogether…otherwise reported this morning by Professor Rob Ford as ‘Electoral Valley of Death’:
“I will fight against the extremes in politics on the right and the left, parties who want to tear our country apart.”
Keep on describing the #GreenParty as extreme Left Starmer please do, because their voters absolutely know they are not, they are just sensible people sick of division.
Watched clip of Julia Hartley Brewer and Henry Hill flailing about trying to understand what just happened…the former resorting to taunts about Hannah Spencer having the haircut of a 5yr old…
This comment sums up the Right today:
“The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in “blocs” with “family voting” to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is “sectarian” and we are in a crisis.
Hmmmmmm.”
