I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Really not sure why Labour doesn't understand that when it comes to immigration and asylum, however many offerings it lays on the altar of Nigel Farage, the Reform gods will not be satisfied. Why squander its credibility and shred its values in chasing a far right populist party it will never catch?

It's clear that EU SM+CU is essential to get growth started.
If Labour ignores this, the deepening recession and increasing tax burden will make everyone noticeably poorer, a fact that Farage will ruthlessly exploit.
Please get Labour to wake up before it's too late!

Rod Stewart declaring we should give Nigel Farage a chance makes absolute sense when you remember his support for Enoch Powell. See this interview with Rod Stewart (International Times No 94 December 17-31 1970).

There’s a group of Labour MPs whose vision for the country appears to be equality of misery: businesses made less dynamic and taxed more than under the Conservatives, child poverty continuing to rise as it did under the Conservatives.
6 in 10 households hit by the two child limit are working families. TBH I’d expect an MP keen to comment to know that.
Rising child poverty is the “retrograde step”. Removing the two child limit helps children get a good start in life.

Broken Labour agrees on one thing: frustration with Keir Starmer
Faced with a divided party and disaffected voters, this month’s spending review is of critical importance to the government as it seeks to balance the books and plan for the future
