Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."
In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.
Maybe Beth is on a diet.

"The PM’s response [to backbench unhappiness] has been to dismantle the whips’ office that warned him of the dangers. This is the equivalent of responding to smoke coming out of your kitchen by ripping out your fire alarm and comforting yourself that the annoying beeping has stopped."
'Should they move left blah blah, no they need to worry about Reform blah blah' - this stuff is babytalk, they are the government, they need to worry about persistent inflation, poor public services and our exposed public finances:
Starmer needs to get serious about governing — and quick
The prime minister has to change or his party will seek a change of its own

I see why NATO members don't want to call this an armed attack, ie an Article 5 contingency. But @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is right. 17 yrs after Russia invaded Georgia, Western leaders still don't understand that Putin is provoked by weakness, not strength. Deterring him will require force.
Just sent out this free post. Russia attacked Poland last night--and the NATO response indicates institutional and national failure. They were clearly not prepared, cannot even call the Russian attack an attack, and do not understand their real security concerns. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Free speech update. Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.

I’m fed up of being told that NHS campaigners hold radical views or that we’re far-left. The majority of people do not want NHS privatisation. We are the centrists. We hold centrist views, and we are continually smeared by people who are complicit in the destruction of the NHS.

But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. 1/28
