Former Tory MP Ben Bradley has now defected to Reform. They really are taking all the worst people from the Boris era.

If a football club believes its supporters are so homophobic and transphobic that they can't be in the same space as a progress flag then that football club has catastrophically failed, and the only rational response from a club they are visiting is to ban away fans from the ground.

I noticed this on the front of the Observer today with the PM calling the Greens “nuts”. Seeing as Labour have left behind voters on the left with the assumption that they will vote Labour to defeat Reform, I think they’re the nuts ones - those voters will go Green or Your Party
I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.
He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

Fuel Poverty is a euphemism. I grew up in a cold house - gas still costs more on a meter. It is exhausting and dispiriting - cold floors and walls. Getting into a bed that feels damp then being unable to sleep. Clothes that don’t dry after rain or snow. Seeing your breath indoors. It is shaming.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

This has to be one of the best letters to a newspaper I’ve ever read, and completely reenforces the absolute vital importance of “Mickey Mouse” subjects. Art, not just great art, can illustrate the difficult and the impenetrable in such illuminating and surprising ways.

I really shouldn’t be surprised when researching British politics in the 19th century and you find someone who sounds really interesting and then there’s the paragraph of “he was a virulent antisemite” or similar.

I’ve adored Tom Stoppard since I saw Travesties at Nottingham Playhouse in 2003. What a career and body of work: R&G are Dead, If You’re Glad, I’ll Be Frank, his adaption of Mrozek’s Tango. A good innings and a real loss.

Underwhelmed by the budget. Yes, two child cap has gone but Labour dragged their heels massively on that, and £5m for secondary school libraries. However, nothing major on tax justice, capital gains, a real wealth tax. Just more meh from the government.

I wasn’t planning on voting Labour again (even with Nadia Whittome as my very good local MP) due to the sheer cloth earedness of the party in the face of such inhumanity to try and appease voters who’ll never vote for them anyway.
Green MP Carla Denyer accuses Shabana Mahmood of trying to "out Reform Reform" and says "toxic racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants" are to blame for "tearing our country apart" not migrants.
Mahmood: "I couldn't care less what any other political party has to say about these matters"
