An announcement: Many of you may know that I am in a long-distance relationship. My fiancée @… has recently made some serious progress in searching for a house where the both of us can live, so it's looking more and more likely that I will be leaving New Hampshire to go live with her soon. For this reason, I'd like to announce that I won't be running for reelection in 2026. There are 2 candidates that I know of who have expressed interest in filling my seat for me after I leave: Tom Brennan and Jason Quinno. Either of them would be strong progressives who align with my values, so I encourage any constituents to vote for either of them in the contested primary this September.

Greeting Andy Burnham after he was sworn in as an MP were a slew of cabinet ministers
- including the chief whip Jonathan Reynolds and the energy secretary Ed Miliband
- who came in flanked by two Treasury ministers, Torsten Bell and Dan Tomlinson.
Around 200 MPs were in the hall to greet Burnham, now officially the MP for Makerfield.
He arrived with Lucy Powell, the deputy Labour leader and the MP Jo Platt

Calling your main squeeze a ‘bug’ or ‘sugar pie’ or ‘teddy bear’ - really has to fit. The name has to be just right to encompass the soul or the being of the person you love; it also has to convey your feelings for them.

It’s not pining, it’s passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot.
It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies.
It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.
