Of course Starmer has made mistakes but his mistakes didn't cost 20,000 lives, destroy our public services, leave our armed forces living in squalid housing, make us a laughing stock on the global stage and ruin our relationship with the EU. 14 years of misrule can't be fixed in 19 months.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

I don't do party politics on here and you can have your own opinion of Starmer - good or bad - but what is undeniably the case is that Westminster journalists became massively invested in a hyped-up narrative of their own devising and debased political commentary in so doing.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

The media are launching a Trumpian style attack on the PM, in an attempted 'coup' to unseat him. If it succeeds, it will prove that private power is stronger than the democratic state and that's why it must fail. Starmer must stand firm.

Another Trump-free rundown of the Epstein Files from BBC News. Funny how those mentioned most - Trump, Farage (41 times) - somehow have invisibility cloaks while Starmer (zero mentions) is tarred by every revelation. #r4today

Starmer makes a strong statement on Greenland & over US tariffs on countries defending Greenland (including the UK).
As always, we see Starmer take decisions in the UK's best interest.
The world is a bloody tough place right now. There are no easy decisions. But he always tries to do what's right.

How it works, Government announces a policy, consultation begins, Government tweaks and amends policy. When did we start expecting policy to be box ready from day one and any change to be labelled a u-turn. Default position should always be listen and change if needed.
