At some point we have to stop pretending that Labour’s constant rightward drift is “grown-up politics” and call it out for what it is - governing by flinch.
And if pointing this out gets me into trouble - then trouble can pull up a chair.

An Island of Strangers, Led by a Party of Strangers
A Labour government with a historic majority has somehow decided the best way to beat the far right is to imitate its homework. Badly.

This is great stuff from Labour!
Transformative policies put into action for military homes following years of neglect.
Never again say the Tories stand up for our forces. They failed to act for 14 years.
Only Labour will deliver these plans in full & give our forces the homes they deserve.

As COP30 approaches my overriding view is that talk is cheap. F*** knows how much time & money we’ve spent on conferences, talks, papers, briefings etc but one thing stands out, emissions are still rising along with the temperature

It speaks volumes about the dire state of British politics that an MP can say that she gets mad about seeing Black and Asian people in adverts on TV and she hasn't immediately been expelled from her party - a party that hopes to form the next Govt.

This is what appeasing bigots does. This is what giving disproportionate air time to racists does. Stop normalising racist rhetoric.

I've officially reached the point in my career where I can hear budget cuts as a background soundtrack to my life.
This mid-week post is half-primal scream, half-essay and almost entirely about the national delusion that we can keep "doing more with less."
Welcome to the edge - there's snacks.

I love the secret feature at Nine Elms London Underground station that reveals itself during a sunny day.
If you arrive at the perfect moment, the roundel logo is beautifully projected onto the floor.
So I took Dancer Andreya with me to interact with the scene.
