I don't actually think Andy has anything in common with the politics of Momentum. Pleased to see that they are doing some campaigning but important we never let the politics of Corbynism, with its antisemitism, bullying and extremism, anywhere back near power in the Labour Party.
Nine years on from the tragic events of the Manchester Arena bombing, we remember the 22 innocent lives that were lost on that awful night.
They will never be forgotten.

The player quit the team 10 years ago after relegation, refused to be in the starting 11, has turned up at half time and is demanding to be made captain.
Nothing that has happened today is remotely proportionate or reasonable behaviour this far out from a General Election scheduled for 2029. This level of internal game playing risks driving us into a General Election within months, as well as causing months of deep political instability that have real world consequences for the economy and national security. I am, to put it mildly, unimpressed.
Whatever complaints MPs have about Keir Starmer, they are now descending into the kind of headless chickenry that - whatever and whoever the outcome - will make the situation even worse for Labour. If there is a grand plan starring Catherine West and a few PPSs, then it doesn’t feel terribly thought through. A period of calm would do none of them any harm. The general election is a fair way off. The next legislative programme is about to be unveiled. There are better ways to reach such an important decision and better times too. You are MPs not commentators who exist to feed a frenzy.
These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats.
Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country.
We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.
People voted for Labour because they were fed up with the merry go round of unelected Prime Ministers.
It would be a betrayal to perform the same maneuver. A betrayal of the voters and a betrayal of our long-term national interest.
I am no fan of Trump, but anyone suggesting he is worse than Putin, whose hubris is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths in Ukraine is not a suitable person to be Prime Minister of this country
They will never be forgotten 🙏
Today we stand in solidarity with @LFC in remembrance of the 97 fans who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster, which occurred on 15 April 1989.
Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.
Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again:
James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner.

Doesn't feel like the most objective headline for a story about the Spring Statement - at which no tax decisions were ever going to be made.
The real story?

You don’t know anything about Libya and Syria so don’t use them in your bullshit arguments to score points. Syrians begged for intervention while assholes like you told them no, and now you want to use their suffering as a case study. Disgusting.
