Rejoining the EU is the biggest lever we have as a country to getting back on track. The Ipsos Mori survey found that 56% now say they would vote in favour of becoming part of the EU again. At the same time the number who back staying out has fallen three points to 30%.

That polling must really tempt Burnham towards an early election.

The entire £83,000 #CelebrityTraitors prize fund going towards supporting refugees and queer displaced people feels bloody wonderful in such wretched times marked by fearmongering and inhumane politics – even more so knowing there will be many right-wingers enraged by that. ❤️

Good news about a Lancashire Mayor, but I fear this will be based on the current clunky Combined County Authority model that sees Blackpool and Blackburn unitaries at the top table with Lancashire CC, with other Lancs councils frozen out. Fingers crossed it's not.

'Is that a really good use of his time?' 'Raising money for a cancer charity?' The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

Electoral reform is a valid debate, but tbqhwy, I’d rather see us rejoin the EU and replace the House of Lords with an elected second chamber first. Both feel like bigger priorities to me.

Remembering the formidable anti-racist campaigner Anwar Ditta. A working-class Kashmiri woman, she was born in Birmingham and lived in Rochdale, sharing platforms with the likes of Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill and leading numerous anti-deportation campaigns.

The Green Party surge was always going to disintegrate. Their small core membership is joined by a strange mix of shy Tories and rejects from other parties driving their own agendas.

Less debate. More social housing. Councils or housing associations? I don’t mind who builds them. We need more genuinely affordable homes. If councils can deliver, let them. If housing associations can, let them. If they can work better together, do that. Just get on with it.

90 years ago today, fascists tried to march through Cable Street. Thousands of ordinary people stood in their way They did not pass Different decade, different slogans, but the politics of division and scapegoating remains familiar Remember Cable Street. They shall not pass

Brilliant result for Labour in Blackpool last night, against a high profile Reform UK candidate. Reform have peaked and are rapidly sliding away, and the Tory vote has absolutely collapsed.

Our reaction to the Prime Minister’s speech in @LabourList 🌹 Radical realism in action. Mainstream Labour values in practice.
'Radical realism in action' Mainstream, a soft-left group backed by Burnham, said that the speech delivered on their calls for radical change. The group's interim council said: "Andy Burnham - our Prime Minister, the leader of the Labour Party, and a signatory to Mainstream's founding statement - just announced some of the most radical reforms this country has seen for the best part of a century. "Electoral reform. Public control. A new settlement for social care. And much, much more. "Radical realism in action, Mainstream Labour values in practice. We're not just changing the Labour Party, we are changing the country."
