An American interviewer asked Count Binface where he stands on the British political spectrum. 👇

Would be so easy for this to be cringe. And yet it’s not.

Labour’s comms has been in another league this week compared to what went before.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Now that has got to be an all time classic off the Tranmere Facebook group 🤣🤣🤣

Politics isn’t working for places like ours.

I will change that.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

More wealth is currently held by the top 1% of society than at any point in history. That includes the French revolution where the poor revolted and murdered the hoarding 'elites'. Is this the reason most of us can't afford to live? No, it's the migrants obviously.

Our 2023 one didn’t have a cross on it either but nobody in the replies is arsed because they hadn’t had their brains melted by scrupulosity through Yankified lukewarm theologian identity politics

NEW: Tentative contact made by Tottenham Hotspur with representative team of Sean Dyche. A basic retainer (common practice) is being discussed to have the ex Notts Forest & Burnley boss as a ready option should #THFC require to hire. No news on any change yet. More to follow. VG.

@SpursOfficial may I suggest holding a dog up above your head outside the stadium ?
