After saying he would support Burnham, Streeting has said he will now stand himself if there is a leadership contest.

Maybe he tried to do a deal with Burnham and Burnham said 🖕

Honestly, part of me almost hopes Reform win the by-election and shuts them both up. Almost.

A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

Guess Streeting didn't want to look like a complete fool after resigning

Grandstanding

Yes, we’re being lectured by an American about what English ethnicity is.

Splendid.

I wonder where the plonker who tried to unplug it nicked his pole from.

Nothing to do with politics, just some fun. I especially enjoyed the squirrel. 😊

It was Led by Donkeyswho did the van 👏

Like the 'stay hydrated' at the end

More gratifying pictures from the Robinson march

Really low turn out at Tommy's march - only 60k - 150k expected

Wonder what that's about

Family orientated according to a thread on it.

It seems to gave gone without major incidents, which is good.

English is the East End in Cable Street in 1936.

Crikey, this is significant. All about Orban's regime showering money on populism abroad including the UK. David Frost mentioned as an alleged recipient, plus Unherd and The Spectator.

So much for pushing back against foreign interference.

Yes that thread about the march is................ wryly amusing?

Dare I look at the march thread? DS was on the Palestine march then they went to have a look at the TR march.

I’ve just checked it out - anything to distract me from Mr B’s beloved Eurovision. Amusing describes it perfectly.

Matt GPT Goodwin was funded by Orban as well.

More flexibility with fact than a contortionists' fibbing convention and OP couldn't even remember the name of the event.

😂

Is it the one comparing Palestine marches with the TR march?

I’m just in from playing in my Concert Band’s 130th anniversary concert and watching the end of Eurovision with a very large gin

It's in News and called the Restore march

There is a new one about what a lovely day out it was.

Thank you

Just quickly saying - before I catch up - yesterday was absolutely amazing.
Also here to say the spotters estimated 100k for Palestine/anti fash March and 35k for Tommeh during main March (maybe more joined him after) - he is honestly lying about his numbers - and the BBC allows this - sigh.

Our spotters don’t lie -they massively disappointed us in September eg lol

Saw no trouble and no concerned looks on any police officer’s face - or tension. It was fun, uplifting and a real boost to know Tommeh’s support is so ephemeral.

50k expected- 35k arrived lol - tbf apparently they are usually late!

It was discussed as September being a bit of a flashpoint for Tiny Tim with Charlie Kirk just being shot, trouble around hotels - both boosting numbers.

For our side we weren’t organised enough to go head to head with the far right - we are resolving that I think.

We did blow his September numbers out the water with the Together March though so maybe that’s an issue for them too.
