Same Old Tories - just a new name. The truth is that Reform contains all those Tories you didn’t want in 2024. Don’t let the name change fool you.

An “interesting”evening for Greater Manchester politics - I’m a fan of @AndyBurnhamGM as Mayor but it would be a massive gamble for him and @UKLabour if we have to face a Mayoral by-election. We can’t risk @reformparty_uk winning in GM - so let’s not take that risk.

Just bumped into @jonnyweldon at Liverpool Street. What a charming guy - and lovely to tell him how much I enjoyed the brilliant #OneDay Good luck to him for the next season of #Rivals

@RowennaDavis Congratulations @RowennaDavis - you will be a great candidate; and a superb Mayor for Croydon after May 2026.

[Rowenna Davis @RowennaDavis]

Wow. Croydon Labour has voted for change.

“Rowenna Davis won the Croydon Mayoral selection with 82% of the vote on a 46% turnout.”

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Why I’m backing @RowennaDavis to be @UKLabour candidate to be Mayor of Croydon in 2026

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

@RowennaDavis @CroydonFM Good luck Rowenna!

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Great to be with colleagues at @SouthwarkLabour Borough Conference - and hearing from key note speaker @SadiqKhan about the future of London

No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in his war-fighting gear.

@brianglenntv Congratulations on helping to make the Oval Office meeting such a disaster. Your question was not relevant to the purpose of yesterday’s meeting. On that basis you would have been better off staying silent or asking a question which was relevant.

Trump didn’t put his hand on the bible - I assume that means it doesn’t count?!

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Truly delighted to see my friend and former Chief Executive Eleanor Kelly awarded a much deserved CBE in tonight’s New Year’s honours. Recognition of a life working for local government, serving Southwark, London and many more beyond during the pandemic.

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Delighted to hear that the incomparable @bryony1963 has just been elected as the President of the Socialist, Green and Progressive Party group at the @COECongress - a rare honour for a UK delegate! Take that Bobby Jenrick!!

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Wow - rudest customer services person I’ve ever spoken to at @greateranglia NCP parking section. Well done GA and NCP for being quite so unpleasant!

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

@JackTShaw Good to see the new government’s review of Oflog - it needs to find new credibility if it is to be of any value to local government.

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

@LibPeck @LGA_Labour @londoncouncils And the @UKLabour local government legend @LibPeck !

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

@Georgia_Gould Your contribution to local government in London has been immense. You have been an exceptional Leader and Chair of London Councils. I know further great things await.

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

Really strong and assured interview with @LukePollard on Good Morning Britain - an excellent appointment as Armed Forces Minister @GMB

[Peter John @peterjohn6]

So proud to be a @UKLabour member
