If you've ever wondered what a very proud (and slightly defensive) Northerner thinks about the 'Red Wall', have a read of my thoughts here: https://t.co/20PviTMqnr 🟥🧱

[Alan Wager @DrAlanWager]

Spot on: there is a stark and very clear link across western democracies between a belief in the basic generational contract of economic progress, and whether or not you have a positive view of democracy.

[Jess Lythgow @LythgowJessica]

Really proud of our report, Disruptive Delivery. Across six democracies, we find a common challenge: voters want change. The biggest mistake for centrists? Casting themselves as the defenders a failing status quo.

The wurst time to fumble a line.

Really brilliant read from IGN. Bradford has "all the ingredients" to thrive but is missing out on a potential £2.9bn increase in economic output due to shockingly poor transport links.

I've been thinking about the joint declaration on defence signed by the UK and Germany last week. As the statement suggests, defence is seen as a first step towards building deeper UK-Germany relations. In 2024, starting with defence makes sense.

Guys just a heads up re: Couch to 5k. It’s literally zero couch. You’d think day 1 would be some couch but no, the couch element is essentially day 0. You are moving from the word go, should be called 0-5km to be honest. So yeah be warned

[Jess Lythgow @LythgowJessica]

It’s been a good week for the centrist dads 🇬🇧🇫🇷

[Jessica Toale MP @JessicaToale]

Thank you to everyone who put their trust in me to become the first Labour MP for Bournemouth West. We have made history together ✨

I will repay that trust by being an open and accessible MP to you all. I can’t wait to get started.

[Jess Lythgow @LythgowJessica]

The inspiring and defiant @jessphillips reminds us of the imperative of standing up against sectarianism in British politics. Violence and intimidation will only stifle meaningful action when it comes to supporting vulnerable people at home and abroad. A class act 🌹

[Jess Lythgow @LythgowJessica]

Happy tears instead of sad today for the first time in my voting life 🌹

[Praful Nargund @prafulnargund]

While it wasn’t the result we hoped for, I’d like to thank every resident of Islington North who cast their vote for me. That was a huge act of faith in me, and I’ll always be grateful.

To each and every person who knocked on doors, stuffed envelopes, delivered leaflets, or helped out in the office – thank you. Your humour, kindness, and energy meant more to me than I can put into words.

I’m proud to have run a genuinely positive campaign, one that has been full of joy, smiles and hope for a better future for Islington North, and for our country. Of course there were tough times, and I would be lying if I said it was easy to hear and read things about me in this campaign that simply weren’t true. Sadly these sort of tactics are rapidly becoming a regular part of our politics now – and that can’t be good.

But today, Britain has voted for change. I’m incredibly proud to have stood on behalf of changed Labour Party that now has the opportunity to serve in government. Thank you.

[Jacob Delorme @jakedelorme_]

Lesson that I also think could be applied to France… people are so obsessed with beating the far-right (rightly) and demonising their supporters, but at some point you need to address their grievances and concerns, and relate to them.

[Alan Wager @DrAlanWager]

Some evidence in YouGov's data of significant pro-union tactical voting shifts happening in Scotland - six of the ten constituencies with the highest increase in Labour vote share between the first (23 May - 1 June) and second (11-18 June) MRPs are north of the border.

Just a girl and her manifesto calling for an incoming UK Government to put research on a secure, long term financial footing 👩🏻‍🔬

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

Great find this

Fun morning campaigning for @prafulnargund in Islington North 🌹
