Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.

Henry Nowak's father outside court yesterday: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

The fear of being called racist was greater than dealing with Henry Nowak’s murder. We should respond to this with pure cold rage. Britain’s historic way of life is being thrown away.

This morning Nigel Farage delivered what he called an "emergency address to the nation." He is the leader of a private limited company. He has 5 MPs. He streamed it on X. Here is what he actually said. He opened with the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak and bodycam footage of the police response. The footage raises genuine questions about the conduct of the officers present. Those questions deserve serious scrutiny. What followed was not serious scrutiny. "Our institutions don't care about Henry Nowak because he is white." "White lives matter too." "The rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities in Britain today." He compared Henry Nowak's final words - "I can't breathe" - to George Floyd's. Not out of sympathy. To invert the argument. To tell his audience that the same framework now applies to white victims, and that the silence of politicians proves a two-tier culture. Then came the destination he was always heading for. "Without anybody being asked, without anybody ever voting for it, we've been subjected to mass immigration on a scale that is truly unbelievable. At least 10 million new people have come to Britain in the last 20 years. Many of these communities have not integrated." A murder. A dying teenager. And Farage used it to get to that paragraph. He ended with condolences to the family. The family asked for dignity. Farage called for cold hard rage. That is what an emergency address to the nation looks like in 2026.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Normally titles are won on sporting merit.

If Andy Burnham is serious about returning to Westminster via Makerfield, Labour may need some form of co-operation with parties to its left now to stop Reform UK taking the seat. Zack Polanski has already said he’d be open to working with Labour under Burnham. Time to test 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

Another year around the sun... Thanks for all the lovely birthday messages yesterday. As always, I appreciate each and every one of you who took the time out to drop me a line. Means the world. :-)

The election results in England, Wales and Scotland are a disaster for the Labour Party, and I send commiserations to the many fantastic Labour representatives who have lost their seats. Frankly, if we don’t get our act together, Labour will face total destruction. The writing was on the wall after Gorton and Denton, after Runcorn and Helsby, and after last year’s local elections. People are desperate for a government that, after a decade of Tory austerity, will reverse the decline in living standards and tackle widening inequality. Today, voters are once again showing us that we are failing to do this at the pace and scale that the country needs. Instead of listening, the leadership doubled down on Reform-lite immigration policies, cut support for the most vulnerable, and made a series of unfathomable political blunders that have damaged Labour’s integrity and people’s trust in us. Some will argue that the answer is to go even further in chasing Reform. Not only would that be a betrayal of everything our party stands for, but we’ve also seen how pandering to the far-right only normalises, legitimises and strengthens their politics of division and hate. Today’s election results are proof that this won’t work. So where do we go from here? We need a Labour government that recognises its duty to working-class people, that fights for our rights and living standards, that takes on the vested interests holding this country back, and that makes the case for a more just and equal society. It’s also clear that in England we’re losing council votes to the Greens and seats to Reform, often by small margins, and first-past-the-post is turning those margins into a gift for the far right. Without proportional representation, that same system could hand Farage a majority government in 2029 on a minority of votes. We did not secure a historic majority in 2024 to be tepid in government, to punish the most vulnerable or to mimic our opponents. From housing to our hollowed-out public services, the country faces interlocking crises that demand bold policies and a progressive government with the courage to deliver them. With this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.

Even if Reform don't have enough to govern, I imagine the Tories will be so hungry for power again, they will get into bed with them eventually. Realpolitik will come into play.

Labour has so far held on to just 13% of the seats it contested. Now a far-right party, pledging mass detention, deportation, and hyper-austerity in public services, is on course to take the keys to No.10 - with a vote share ahead of every other party. The idea that Keir

This is end of days stuff, it really is. And it’s quite frightening what the alternative increasingly appears to be. 2024 @UKLabour landslide has weakened accountability within the party. A smaller majority might have kept the leadership more responsive to backbenchers and avoided some missteps that have left Britain on the brink of a @reformparty_uk government. The media environment is often stacked against Labour, but it still feels like the leadership has done centre-left voters a disservice.
