This morning in Birchwood.

Ed Miliband: 'Frankly, it would be a global embarrassment, for Britain, if Susan Hall was elected as the Mayor of London... it would empower the flat earth brigade... '

Q: You're not calling Susan Hall a flat earther?

Ed Miliband: I absolutely am...

The first PM memoir to be written in the style of a 'what I did on my holidays' school essay.

I’m not going to say one thing to Sun readers and another to Guardian readers.

Good to talk to Pippa Crerar about the principled case for using the private sector to cut NHS waiting lists while we rebuild our NHS - and why the alternative is working class people waiting longer.

Compare and contrast what Angela Rayner is accused of versus the industrial-scale grift, rule-breaking, scandal, corruption and sleaze of the Tory Party:

NEW: Angela Rayner remains insistent she has done nothing wrong.

In a statement issued this evening she says she would stand down if she had done anything criminal.

She accuses the Conservatives of political games and only reporting her to police for electoral gain.

Offering to step down, if found guilty, is the right thing to do.

And that is what differentiates this Tory government from a future Labour one. They will not only promise integrity, they will fulfil that promise. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

🗣️ “We want an Armed Forces Commissioner who would be dedicated to fighting for those within the Armed Forces.”

The Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer promises “cast iron support” for the Armed Forces should his party be elected into Government.

Turns out Charles really did have Truss sussed.

Went back to watch this Newsnight report.

Tory Vice Chair Daly called for investigation, police replied no case to answer. Daly asked them again to investigate. The police then gave into political influence.

Daly, the Government and the Police could look really stupid.

Kindly reminder that the Tory Party pushing for police investigations for their own party political reasons costs money.

Money which could be spent on dealing with actual criminals.

I see the Police have caved into Tory Party pressure again. Just like Beergate they try and tar others with the same brush, and always just before an election.

Just hope that this time it doesn’t drag on for months.

🧵 I’m sceptical that disillusionment among the most progressive voters poses a serious threat to Labour in this election. I want to use our British seven Segments to try and show why…

The UK’s nuclear deterrent is the bedrock of Keir Starmer’s plan to keep Britain safe.
 
Our nation’s defence must always come first.

Great to be quoted on Guardian front page today, but just wanted to add a bit of clarity to my quotes, given how they’ve been contextualised here.

In my interview I said there are likely only a couple, handful max ‘urban seats’ Labour may be at risk of losing.

Just like the rest of the country, Blackpool needs change.

That's what Chris Webb will deliver.

With Chris, people in Blackpool South will have an MP who matches their pride and ambition.

Vote Labour on Thursday 2 May. Vote for Chris Webb in Blackpool South.

Time to drop the lazy stereotypes and speak up for young workers who are too often forced to put up with low pay, insecure work and lousy bosses.
