Like usually means bookmarked.

Repost means interesting.

Not one good word to say about Sir Keir Starmer.

Stunned and betrayed to discover that Professor Matt Goodwin was not the wholly neutral and unbiased expert on the far right which I believed him to be!?!?!?

In fairness I'd only post nonsense like this anonymously as well.
He isn't seen as the Messiah by all of us in Labour. We need a period of stability as things are slowly improving. Starmer has had a very good week, although you wouldn't know it by the press.

Labour must stand down in order to avoid splitting the anti-Reform vote. It is the sensible, grown-up thing to do.

All these Reform defections are short term gains which undermine their core selling point - which is change.

Why would the country elect a party full of all the same washed-up, scandal-hit former Tory ministers they just kicked out of office?

A better answer: replace stamp duty with a smarter tax, that's fairer, doesn't discourage people from moving, and can't be avoided.

I'll be writing more about that at the weekend.

What's to stop Andy Burnham leading an anti-Reform umbrella movement at the next election. Whether the PLP want him as Labour leader or not.

Why is the Charlie Kirk killing still leading the BBC news today? Prior to this week the vast majority of us had never heard of Charlie Kirk.

It's news but the Mandelson fall out is surly bigger news for the UK.
