Hyperfactionalism is stopping good government and killing @UKLabour
New article in @NewStatesman
We need to tread a fine line - @andyburnham has to work and we need to say and do what’s needed to make it so @CompassOffice
Neal Lawson, who was by Andy Burnham’s side for the march on Downing Street, runs his eye over the project so far in today’s Sunday Times

It felt strange heading into Labour conference that no one had examined Starmerism. It happened and it can’t be allowed to happen again. So here you go: neallawson2u.substack.com/p/…
#TUCKOFF - a whole page in the @thetimes on whether your shirt goes in or out - truly the end of times #AllConsuming
Spot on article by @labourlewis - nothing but real change will work to beat Reform and the causes of Reform theguardian.com/commentisfre…
We wanted to share love letters. From @AndyBurnhamGM to Makerfield and Manchester and back from those places to him. And then from Greater Manchester to the county with message - “go on you need him now too ”. Please share again 🙏

If Orban loses, we're going to have another 6 weeks of "have we reached peak populism" discourse
Let's not miss the bigger picture here👇
Jones sets up to not concede and we do. We might not go down but it’s the worse football I’ve ever seen at the Valley in 50 years of watching. The people who clap him - not the team are deluded - it’s not the teams fault - it’s his #cafc
The @TheGreenParty wave would have been stalled if @AndyBurnhamGM had been allowed to stand according to a poll in the @NewStatesman:
Andy Burnham (Labour): 14916 (40.4%)
Hannah Spencer (Green): 10487 (28.4%)
Matthew Goodwin (Reform): 9520 (25.8%)
The rise of the undecided voter
Exclusive polling shows how late the Gorton and Denton by-election was decided

.@labourlewis explaining why need economic and democratic system change - theguardian.com/commentisfre…
51% for the left bloc and 39% for the right. Yes this has to be argued for and won. But the #ProgressiveMajority can be unlocked via a #ProgessiveAlliance @CompassOffice @AndyBurnhamGM @ZackPolanski
When Donald Trump bombs, Keir Starmer obeys - sobering but wise read from James @schneiderhome magazine.newstatesman.com/20…
A Labour Party that kisses right and kicks left was always going to fail. But #GortonAndDenton is a disaster for the Party who face real competition from the left and a triumph for the @TheGreenParty @CompassOffice newstatesman.com/comment/202…
When the voting system pushes Labour voters to back the Tories we know it’s time for #ProportionalRepresentation @CompassOffice @MakeVotesMatter inews.co.uk/news/politics/bo…
Really wise analysis from @josephalextodd on the case for left pluralism @CompassOffice theguardian.com/commentisfre…
The case for #ProportionalRepresentation in a fragmented party system is now unarguable @MakeVotesMatter @Labour4PR @UnlockDemocracy @electoralreform
"And the next election under first past the post, if it stays anything like that, is just going to be chaotic... So we've got to bring in proportional representation."
Compass Director @Neal_Compass on the need for PR on Sunday Morning with @TrevorPTweets on @SkyNews.
One man jumps overboard but it’s the sinking ship of @UKLabour we need to worry about. It needs a new purpose and direction - it needs @CompassOffice magazine.newstatesman.com/20…
Worth giving this a bump
