I had a hard time believing this is real. I am so SO happy to have quit @UKLabour and joined the @TheGreenParty . This desperate lying because Labour is losing 1 seat in the Gorton & Denton by-election is truly shameful. No integrity whatsoever, just power-hungry desperate lies.
With the National Crime Agency, I was involved in an operation to arrest an individual who had been importing GHB to spike women. We raided his home and got him. In his bed was a woman he had spiked!!! The Greens would enable that behaviour, let that sink in. Labour want to

Many people in the Labour Party will have read the expert reports and seen the international evidence, have understood that the war on drugs is failing disastrously and know the Greens are basically right on drugs. But they choose more needless deaths over losing a by-election.

A pathetic and desperate lie, which only risks splitting the anti-Reform vote and letting them win. Labour made the same false claim in Caerphilly, where they finished a distant third behind Plaid Cymru and Reform. Don't get fooled again! #VoteGreen
Only Labour can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton.

Reminder, the same people saying Gorton and Denton is between Labour and Reform not the Greens and Reform. Were saying Caerphilly was between Labour and Reform, not Plaid Cymru and Reform. @ZackPolanski @Keir_Starmer

Loads of Labour MPs have taken drugs, and in some cases still take drugs. Keir Starmer joked about his past drug use in front of kids. But these hypocrites arrest other people's kids for the same behaviour, enforcing a failed war on drugs. https://t.co/vJvmXo3Fd5
There's been a lot of talk about the Green Party's drug problem. Here's what they really think.

Labour has indeed done some good things as well as the many appalling ones. But I disagree that the Green Party has zero chance of forming a Government. Reform only has 8 MPs yet is viewed as a possible Government. En Marche came from nowhere in France. These are volatile times!
@pete_sinclair So what is your view on the hundreds of good things Labour is doing, from the employment bill, animal rights bill, min wage, investments in public services etc etc? All wiped out by the shitty disagreeable stuff? So you’ll join a party with zero chance of forming a Government?

I've joined the Greens. I'm sick of Labour betraying everything it's meant to stand for. The Green Party is now a serious political force, the best chance of defeating Reform by offering a real alternative to the rotten politics of the mainstream parties. https://t.co/alLIqkJZdV

Labour made the same claim in Caerphilly. "Only Labour can beat Reform". The actual result? Plaid got 47% (beating Reform!); Labour got 11%. Don't get fooled again. Vote Green in Gorton and Denton...
No-one should take this poll seriously: -funded by a Green donor -incredibly small sample and half unlikely to vote -over-indexes green/Lab wards I’ve been door-knocking most days. We’ve spoken to over 50 TIMES more voters. V clear it’s between us and Reform

This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official. It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

The Labour Together faction that put Starmer in power is probably the dirtiest, most cynical and unlawful political operation in modern British history. Massive questions for Starmer, McSweeney, Simons, Reed, Nandy, Mahmood and others, who have operated as a cancer on democracy.
This story is INSANE. It appears that Labour Together didn’t just commission a report on British journalists. Bad enough. This was a smear job, attempting to connect Sunday Times journos to Moscow (!) Then parts of it shared with security state (!) https://t.co/ldJ4vqvYok

I can’t help noticing how the people we ruthlessly purged from the party seem to be taking some pleasure in our failure

Before the Caerphilly by-election, Labour briefed that there was "strong" support on the doorstep. They said their data showed that it was a "straight fight" between Labour and Reform. What happened on the day? Plaid Cymru got 47.4%. Reform got 36%. Labour got 11%.
This by-election is bigger than day to day politics. It’s about stopping Reform’s toxic politics coming to my city. The Greens misleading claims, dodgy bar charts & briefings risk letting them in the back door. Only voting Labour can defeat Reform. My letter to @ZackPolanski 👇🏻

Luke's finished deleting "I love Mandelson" tweets to start a batch of "I defend McSweeney" tweets which will be deleted in the not too distant future I assume.
I'm not sure Morgan McSweeney should lose much sleep over this small collection of my PLP colleagues, all policy rebels on various issues, calling for his departure. The same names repeatedly take the opportunity to share their hot takes with the media.

Peter Mandelson is one of the most odious, self-satisfied, misogynistic men I have ever met. Compellingly, fascinatingly horrible.
