Well, this is a hot mess of dog whistles and utter nonsense. For a speech claiming to tackle "toxic" and "poisonous" rhetoric Starmer leans heavily into pandering to the usual misinformation about migrants and portraying anti-immigration ideals as "patriotic"

Whether or not digital ID is a good long-term policy, the politics of it are that Labour just set up a battle with its own party and all the others, promising to achieve something this scheme probably can't, at an obvious actual and opportunity cost.

Members were out in #Christleton supporting STEVE DAVIS & NICK BROWN, updating local residents on our objection to the proposed 200 house development on the A41 behind the Abbots Well. This will cause additional high levels of congestion, air pollution & pressure on already cracking local services.

This was entirely predictable. Employers’ NI was a stupid, stupid tax rise. It’s made part-time work much more expensive and hit the ability of women and the disabled to find jobs.

It is exactly this lack of accountability, that is why Labour are where they are. Paving the way for Farage and neglecting to tackle this country's problems at a deeper level.

Worth noting how keeping first past the post was meant to keep the far right out. Instead, it could do the opposite by not fostering opposition to it.

Great to see Zack. It's time that we let the public know where we stand economically, and fight back against the far right and corporate greed.
We need bold leadership. Now.
That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party.

We welcome activities to shift Cheshire (and Warrington) transport policies towards active travel. Let's make our streets safer for us all - including the cats!
Plans for the Cheshire Active Travel Syndicate (see what I did there?) are starting to come together. We have lots of pockets of expertise in the area and maybe we need a more co-ordinated approach?
