For about ten minutes after Keir Starmer’s conference speech it seemed like the PM understood what his voters wanted to hear – an actual challenge to the racism of Reform. But instead of seeing it as the start of new messaging, it feels like his team just regarded it as job done.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?
What Do We Have To Lose
If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him? Plus: some natural borders; and the non-existence of grey, and other letters.

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status.

“They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

“Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Absolutely brilliant journalism from @lewisgoodall.com and @newsagents.bsky.social about a terrible data breach and cover up by the Tory and Labour governments - what a horrible precedent this has set for future government cover ups
“A catastrophic data breach.”

For two years, the government took The News Agents to court over a leaked MOD document - under a super injunction.

Now it’s lifted.

@lewisgoodall.com reports on the hidden court that tried to silence us.
