BBC Politics NW Sunday 21 June:
All smiles at the end of the show after a session on Politics North West with @sarahsmithlab and political scientist @JonTonge...or so I thought. We had what I considered to be a robust Labour vs Reform debate and exchange on several key issues....disappointed to see that that Sarah later posted a critical post with clips of me saying that I was rude and interrupted her...well she interrupted me several times, overtalked me and kept pointing at me in a disrespectful way...but this is politics so who is counting...if you can't handle the heat then best to get out of the kitchen.

The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM. He has no mandate, no answers and no ideas. Nobody voted for this.

The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.

@UKLabour doing the Cha Cha Slide to the left to stop haemorrhaging votes to the @TheGreenParty but conceding more votes to @reformparty_uk

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.

In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.

Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.

In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.

’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.

’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.

‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’

They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.

In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.

Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.

The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.

’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.

’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.

‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

🚨Dear Reformers,

After months of hard campaigning, I hope you can understand that I was utterly shattered and needed some well earned rest and recuperation, which is why this is my first post since stepping down as Chairman.

I leave the role incredibly proud of the unprecedented progress we made during the eleven months I served as party Chairman.

During my tenure, our results were nothing short of phenomenal. We became the largest political party. On average, we welcomed a remarkable 6,000 new members every single month and to top it all off, we made another major breakthrough at the local elections. We gained nearly 1,500 councillors and we took control of 17 new councils. Something the establishment said was impossible.

And I want to be really clear. None of this would have been possible without you, the members and supporters. Your commitment, dedication and passion shines through whenever I meet you.

As I travelled across the country on my Chairman’s Tour and met thousands of you, I was genuinely overwhelmed by the warmth and support I received at every event. Please know that feeling is entirely mutual.

I know Lee Anderson will continue the fight brilliantly, and as someone who has been in Reform for a long time, he knows exactly what it means to be a Reformer.

I now turn my attention to my home county of Suffolk as I look to return to elected politics.

I remain fully convinced that @reformparty_uk is Britain’s last chance. 🇬🇧

Reform will scrap income tax on overtime.

Could Not Make This Up

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Lisa Nandy suggested that Reform is a “fascist” party.

Reform just won 24 of 25 seats in @lisanandy area of Wigan.

The British people don’t like being called “fascist”, Lisa.

They just want to be treated with respect and decency.

Well done Reform Wigan.

@lpoolcouncil and @LiverpoolLabour need to come clean over who this racist is shouting 'white c*nts', and how she came in possession of a Liverpool taxpayer funded propaganda placard?

Well done to @ZiaYusufUK for calling them out on @MichelleDewbs' @GBNEWS show.

🚨NEW: Labour-led Liverpool city council said that there is no link between foreign cultures and violence against women and girls

In an online “myth-buster” they also claimed it is factually wrong to claim that migrants come from “cultures that don’t respect women”
