What a privilege to be elected chair of @BOSLabour this evening. A campaigning CLP which turned a safe Lib Dem seat Labour red 🌹
The shadow business minister @BradleyThomasUK claimed in parliament that new apprenticeships fell 9% from 2023/24 to 2025/26.
They actually rose about 11%. Mr Thomas was using English data comparing an incomplete year with a whole one.

SDLP leader @ClaireHanna reacts to Trump's comments on Irish unity.
"I'm not sure if anybody has checked on the DUP. I suspect they're burning those Trump flags as we speak."

If these Pisa results don't change education policy in Scotland then we's be as well scrapping Holyrood. The evidence incontrovertible, and more will come soon from the other two global comparator studies we have (finally) rejoined. THERE IS NO EXCUSE

The loveliest of bosses, and someone who cared deeply about her community. But the kindly manner hid someone who got politics more than most. She’ll be missed no more so than by her family who she adored x

New PISA data out
England is now top ten in all three areas (reading, maths, science) and the second highest performing country outside of east Asia (after Estonia).
This is a huge public policy success.

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

I’m not usually one to defend Zack Polanski, but the idea he doesn’t have at least one single connection to Camden is just nonsense.
Look, here he is standing for the council there in 2015… as a Lib Dem… during the austerity coalition…

Out of all the previous Prime Ministers who stood down as MPs in recent history after leaving office, Sir Keir Starmer is the only one whose family was targeted by a state sponsored firebombing, a fact which seems to have been entirely forgotten by everyone.
Bridget Phillipson talks about her childhood and men, elected politicians, pile in and explain to her she didn’t have the best upbringing she could have had.
I think she’s done pretty well for herself lads.

For the avoidance of doubt I don’t believe this man should have *any* role in public life - because of both his racism and his view of women.
@KemiBadenoch you’ve got this very, very wrong.

EXC: Michael Marra has announced he is standing to be Scottish Labour leader.
Speaking to the Daily Record, he said he wanted to restore the party’s “moral purpose”, adding that Labour has to “learn” from their defeats and “change”.

Honoured to become Chair of the Labour Party.
I joined our party as a teenager and saw first hand the difference a Labour government makes.
I'll work with members to build the election-winning machine that sees off Reform for good and secures a second Labour term.
