I’m no Kemi fan but she did exactly the right thing getting rid of Jenrick. Starmer should do the same to Streeting. Corbyn didn’t get rid of him - now look!!

Been asked to help to find a Muslim trans person who is Black/POC and willing to be interviewed for a new publication about left wing politics & YourParty. If anyone can help, I’d be very grateful. The preference is for a practising Muslim. Can remain anonymous if desired #journorequest

Keir Starmer is the worst. Honestly. I hope Wes Streeting stabs him in the back and takes over as PM. And then I hope someone does it to Wes straight after. We may as well have something to smile about.

I wrote about the recent prisoners that have been released by mistake www.independent.co.uk/voices/priso... for @independentvoices.bsky.social
As a former guard, I know why prisoners are being released by mistake
When I was a prison officer, inmates who wanted to go on the run needed more than a cleric error to be released – their jailbreaks were properly creative, says Ava Vidal
