1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

Is there a starker example of whose side Labour are on than the sentence “The Treasury has told City bosses spooked by the prospect of further tax rises that savings in the welfare bill will prevent that.”
So after 14 years of the Tories punishing, impoverishing hounding and scapegoating people on benefits to distract from the rich trebling their wealth, the Labour Party is promising a crackdown on … benefits claimants

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

— got 34% of the vote, the lowest figure ever for a victorious party
— received fewer votes than either of Corbyn's campaigns
