Burnham knew this would be the result of dropping his pledge to cap political donations, but he did it anyway.
Labour are determined to midwife a Reform government, like plenty of other centrist parties before them whose weakness paved the way for right wing extremists.

For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister has accepted that a referendum should take place when there is majority support for independence, as is the case in Northern Ireland.
I have written to him to discuss how we turn that principle into a legal mechanism.

Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests.

If you have an Irish passport you don't actually need a UK passport.
It is very much the dream passport for entry to, living & working - no time limits, no visa - in any EU/EFTA country...

Thank you @gilltav.bsky.social for reminding us all of the Police response in 2021 👇 when some 40 environmental activists of Insulate Britain blocked the Port of Dover: 39 arrests.
Compare that to yesterday when 200-400 fascist paramilitaries intimidated Dover town and blocked the Port: 0 arrests.

Anti-apartheid protesters climb the goalposts during South Africa's rugby match against a North of Scotland District side in Aberdeen in 1969.
96 protesters were each charged £15, with their fines being paid by John Lennon.
