hardly anyone will watch Starmer's appearance at Labour conference today but it was probably the best speech he's ever given
he clearly signposted what he stands for - a diverse, tolerant, decent Britain - and how be believes progressives are in an existential fight with the populist right

More Burnham 'polls' being bandied about again.
They can't possibly say that 2 in 3 Labour members want him as PM when they haven't even asked us all!!
I'm happy with the PM we have thanks.

It would be terribly unfortunate if this got shared absolutely everywhere.
1/ This speech made by Farage in September 2014, after Russia's first invasion of Ukraine, is a stream of Russian propaganda lies that could have come from Lavrov's mouth.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released.
So who has been protecting the Reform MP?

As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.
The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.

Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us
Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules
Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax
The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer
