I keep coming back to this bizarre claim. What do they think the Labour Party is? When was at it best? When it couldn’t win a majority or hold power for more than a couple of years? When it was torn apart and almost wiped out? Deeply weird stuff

Another Labour budget of missed opportunities.

Tbf, Chris Mason is far too busy spending 3 months investigating expense claims from 15 years ago that were audited and cleared by Reeves' employers when they happened. And Kuenssberg has her work cut out trying to be a lobby-correspondent/gossip-columnist version of Dot Cotton. 🤔

Grimes has posted a blog today, but something’s odd about the photo he’s used of two girls playing in front of a house surrounded by older boys/men.
We know what he’s implying using the photo.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
