I just don't understand how anyone in government is looking at turning PA into a literal Cause Celebre and thinking "yep, that's been effective, we nailed that"
Keir Starmer's spokesman asked about author Sally Rooney's plans to donate her royalties to Palestine Action, says that supporting the group is a terrorist offence and "obviously the police will implement the law"

Yvette Cooper repeatedly refused to give a straight answer just now on Today to straight Q “Will councils get more money to pay care workers more?” She repeatedly committed to higher carer pay but wouldn’t commit to money so councils can fund it. Think that speaks volumes about the mess we are in.

Conservatives as well as Reform are so heavily marinated in MAGA US social media, that I wouldn't be surprised if by 2027 we'll hear right wing MPs musing about "remigration" strategies to mass deport people of migrant origin.

Must be a weird property to rent out, presumably quite pricey but also "Oh, weirdos might turn up because your landlord is the PM".
‘Starmer has rented out the house since moving into Downing Street. It has been repeatedly targeted by protestors in the past.’ 2.
