Lee Anderson wants to know why 500 pubs a year are closing under Labour. So pleased he decided not to ask them why an average of 700 pubs a year closed in the ten years before Labour came to power. 😀

🚨🚨 Excellent read by @catherinedevries.bsky.social on Donald #trump's #geopolitical clickbait playbook and its implicatioms for #European security.
Today in @theguardian.com, I argue that Donald Trump’s foreign-policy playbook is increasingly about attention capture, or what I call geopolitical clickbait.
Plus I outline why this matters for Europe & what to do about it.

Trump wants our attention. Let’s stop falling for his geopolitical clickbait | Catherine De Vries
Whether he’s targeting Greenland, tariffs or Iran, Trump’s agenda is to distract – because a Europe that is always reacting is never planning, says political scientist Catherine De Vries

Neither Reform UK nor Matt Goodwin speak for the working class - the former because of policy, the latter because of misplacement.
The veneer is starting to turn transparent, and voters in Gorton and Denton deserve better than the culture-war politics that are the only thing on offer.
