Kylian Mbappé has apologised for calling former Chinese leader Mao Zedong a “dictator”. The Real Madrid footballer lost several lucrative deals with Chinese brands after his comment, made during an interview in March, went viral this week. China has also suspended all La Liga broadcasts as a result. @MaloneBarry tells @AaronBastani on Novara Live that China is “aggressively” pushing back on people who criticise it to set an example for other people with financial interests in the country.

Momentum 🌹@PeoplesMomentumOct 26

Burnham has laid out a bold vision for Britain. Now, we must turn his vision into action. Socialists are already organising across our movement. But we need you. It’s time for a socialist Labour Party ready to deliver change. Join Labour. Join Momentum mtm.is/join

What makes this depressing is that it theoretically met NIMBY criteria. Aesthetic, built with local stone, provides cheap groceries during a cost-of-living crisis. All built *literally* on an empty grass field. But, no dice. They don't actually want to build anything at all.

If this polling lead can survive the upcoming budget, then we're getting a snap election. Very little doubt in my mind at this point.

‘BACK into freedom of movement with the EU’ The UK was never part of the Schengen Agreement. That’s something the ‘shadow home secretary’ should know.

@ZiaYusufUKOct 24

🚨 Andy Burnham has said he is open to taking Britain BACK into freedom of movement with the EU. That means 450 million people will be able to move to the UK, with no powers to stop them. Plus anyone in the world who can get their hands on citizenship of ANY EU country. Burnham is determined to open the floodgates and overwhelm Britain. He MUST be voted out!
