Is there a possibility that he is a right-wing plant…?!

He seems to be doing everything he can to divide the Labour Party, destroy it from within?

Wouldn’t surprise me in the current climate. Subversion is generally easier than conversion!

Labour are so cooked. It looks like the Glasman wing of the party has carried out a successful hostile takeover, which will only survive until it faces the test of public opinion. After the next election they'll look like the Tories do now.

It's curious how many Labour politicians who appear to bat for the Tories or even further right seem to end up in the Lords: Kate Hoey, John Mann, Gisela Stuart, Ian Atkins to name a few

I am horrified that there is even a Blue Labour movement, I think Mr Glasman is in the wrong political party, he seems to be detached from reality and just totally self-centred with his own views.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. 🧵

Wow, watch this.

(and the replies saying it's unfair on the plod. He's just following orders.... bollox, he is knowingly helping the UK gov harm its own people to compound its complicity in genocide, apartheid and war crimes. He could have refused, but did not).

He gave the order to have Jamal Khashoggi murdered. Something about the men in power, unable to take criticism and something the world has conveniently forgotten

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would do better to prove his intentions for modernizing Saudi Arabia by releasing women’s rights and other human rights activists from prison than by hosting a comedy festival in Riyadh.

Now we know why they never used facial recognition technology, at the Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom march. When asked about this? Mark Rowley didn't think it warranted being used for 100,000 people. Despite many having criminal records for violence, spousal abuse and other crimes.

Another big company leaves London for New York.

Brexit stripped the City of its EU advantage, now the London Stock Exchange is in decline while Wall Street thrives.

Once the gateway to Europe, London is losing listings, capital and credibility. Britain is paying the price.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

The era of oil & gas is over - reserves are running dry and companies are pulling out leaving workers and communities high and dry

Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition

My piece for Prospect Magazine on my Energy Jobs Bill:

Screenshot of a headline from Prospect Magazine, reading: 'There will be no transition without high-carbon skills.'

Subheading reads: My new Energy Jobs Bill would harness the expertise of those working in oil and gas to support the shift to clean power, by Carla Denyer
