‘The Tories prepared a trap for Labour. It had a large sign on it saying “It’s a Trap” and then next to that another sign saying “When We Say, It’s a Trap, What We Specifically Mean Is, It’s a Trap for the Incoming Labour Government and Especially for Rachel Reeves.”’

The media furore around the Schools Bill has obscured Labour’s ambition to ensure every child, whichever type of school they attend, has the best start in life.

The “success story” of Tory education reform is a mirage
False claims about academies’ performance are obscuring the ambition of Labour’s Schools Bill.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us.

Vance, a man who won’t dare to say aloud the truth, that Trump lost the 2020 election, a lie which prompted a riot and insurrection, lecturing Europe about freedom of speech and democracy. You couldn’t make it up.

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.

It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

Just catching up with Laura Kuenssberg interview with Yvette Cooper…’when can our viewers..?’… ‘what our viewers want to know …’ etc. Do all her viewers have the same views? How does she know? This patronising populist arrogance has echoes with GB News.
