@LBC Right wing tanks on Andy’s lawn before he’s even the leader and PM. Give the guy a chance .. if he’d have started acting like the PM before he is the PM the tanks would be firing their salvos even more. Right wing are running scared of a genuine working class politician !!!

I have just been alerted to a scam, where someone is purporting to be me, and inviting people to come on my ALL TALK podcast. If you reply to it, you're then asked for money. It is coming from a gmail address. I do not use gmail. So if you are approached, please do not engage. Or please forward the email to me.
Wonderful news. 👏🏻
Many congrats to my dear friend @bevcraig who has done incredible work leading our council, and I know she’d lead our city-region in the same way.
@IainDale Damed if they do and damned if they don’t. If the current rules allow a party to elect a new leader and a de facto PM (been done before) there’s an expediency to hitting the ground running. I think any new government needs to urgently review the system and make new rules.
So a shadow government is being formed, even before it is clear there will be a coronation. The sense of presumption fits well alongside the sense of entitlement, which has been on display for weeks. Many a slip betwixt cup and lip.
Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.
Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.
We are building Great British Railways. 🇬🇧🚆
