@campbellclaret Not dissimilar to when the same tabloid papers attacked Obama for moving a bust of Churchill outside the Oval Office and preferring an MLK one instead. Which Boris Johnson attacked him for in 2016 as well.

Same old hack playbook, always on repeat.

@campbellclaret Outrage from the same Tories who stayed silent about a £17,800 fine for not properly declaring donations of £112,000 for some gold wallpaper.

@Conservatives You left the mess, hence tax issues. Consultation about restrictions on smoking, which Conservative Gov proposed. Didn’t remove picture of thatcher, just moved it. Yes grown ups now in charge. PS your MP @EstherMcVey1 compared restrictions on smoking to the Nazis. Explain that

BREAKING: A man has decided what pictures he wants on the walls in his home...

@TomTugendhat Yes because £22b black hole

[Tatton Labour @TattonCLP]

@SkyNews An entirely sensible proposal that was supported cross party in the last Parliament

[Tatton Labour @TattonCLP]

A new low.

[Esther McVey @EstherMcVey1]

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a communist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Pertinent words re Starmer’s smoking ban

Chief Secretary to Treasury Darren Jones told #Newsnight last night that ‘the government communication service was spending hundreds of millions of pounds on filming content for Conservative ministers’ social media channels’

Hi @elonmusk, can you repost? This is amazing!

Robert Gros made £27m profit selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

Tatton constituency meet-up last night was standing room only and loads of fun, as usual. Members are fired up, full of energy & ideas for future activity. Some great campaign learning points, discussion and suggestions for conference motions too. #TattonLabour 💪🌹

Must watch first speech in parliament by Keir Starmer in which he tears into 14 years of Conservative failure and outlines how Labour will do better - long watch but refreshing

Keir Starmer, "Whilst I respect the tone of leader of the opposition Rishi Sunak's contribution, I can't stop my mind wandering to 9 months ago when he was at this dispatch box"

"His political hero Nigel Lawson said: to govern is to chose, and everyday serving the people of this country is a chance to make a difference for them"

"Yet Mr Speaker, the last King's speech was the day the veil of Rishi Sunak's choices slipped.. And we all saw a party, his party, content to let our countries problems fester.. Content to push aside the national interest.. As they focused almost entirely on trying to save their own skins"

"No more wedge issues.. No more gimmicks.. No more party political strategies masquerading as politics.. This is an agenda focused entirely on delivering for the people of this country.. Legislation for the national interest.. To make people better off.. Solve problems not exploit them"

"With each day that passes, my government is finding new and unexpected marks of their corruption.. Scars of the last 14 years where politics was put above the national interest.. Decline deep in the marrow of our institutions"

"We've seen it in our prisons.. In our rivers and seas.. It's even worse than we thought.. We see it in our councils, not even able to deliver services for children with special educational needs"

"The work of change has begun"

📊 The Reform vote (11.5%) was smaller than nearby seats (eg. Mid Cheshire 19.2%, Congleton 16.4%).

🟰 The impact of Reform was similar to UKIP in Tatton in 2015 (10.8%). The Tory vote share stayed exactly the same when UKIP didn’t run in 2017 (58.6% in 2015 and 2017)

(3/5)

Tatton is now a marginal constituency, and we will continue to hold our Conservative MP (who 61.6% of Tatton voters didn’t vote for) to account.

(5/5)

[Tatton Labour @TattonCLP]

🔸As predicted in the polls, the Liberal Democrats finished 4th, with a reduced vote share (8.9%) similar to their 2017 result (8.5%).

🧮 Only a 1.1% swing is needed to win Tatton for Labour next time.

🌹 Labour received the highest number of votes for a second place party in Tatton’s history, with the number of votes increasing by 72.8% from 2019.

📉 This delivered the smallest majority Tatton has ever seen, reduced from an implied majority of 19,242 on new boundaries.

(2/5)

We’ve had a closer look at the numbers from the newly-marginal constituency of Tatton. The full story is even more positive for Labour in the long term. Quick 🧵.

🗳️ Ryan received the highest number of votes (18,820) of any second-placed Labour candidate in the country.
