The two words “Lord Young” are all you need to explain why The House Of Lords should be abolished.
While purporting to care deeply about the funding of other organisations and the importance of free speech, Lord Young's FSU won't reveal who funds the er ... Free Speech Union

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

If Polanski is still active on X when Starmer appears to have stopped since last week, I’m not sure Polanski has the high ground on that issue at all. I would expect any robust left wing political entity to have been off that ages ago

To be brutally honest: Davey and Polanski making so much noise about how bad X is but continuing to tweet and ultimately (apparently) being beaten to a boycott by Starmer makes them both look extremely unserious
It has now been 5 days since Keir Starmer posted on X. 11 for Rachel Reeves
Previously both we're posting several times a day - seems a informal boycott is happening
Meanwhile @zackpolanski.bsky.social has posted/retweeted 7 times this morning. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk too
When you leaving chaps?

Also striking that Rachel Reeves has been off of it since 2 January.

If you can't get into the House of Lords, joining the Reform Company will do.
Reform UK is is where all failed, desperate Tories go to have another chance at grift and power. Zero morals. Zero integrity
Some inside Reform are worried Nadhim Zahawi's high-profile defection looks like "naked opportunism" and could lead them to looking like a home for ex-Tories.

I hope the farmers blame the Tories who gave us Brexit and Liz Truss who ‘negotiated’ the trade deal, (despite everyone saying this would happen) not Labour who are saddled with the mess.

The headline is a quote from Kemi Badenoch. Her observation on job security is as relevant as health advice from Mr Creosote.
It's an unfashionable idea but shouldn't a newspaper include news?
