I like this anti-social media aspect of Starmer very much. 9 times out of 10 it's right. On Friday night there was a v.clear & urgent need for Western nations to express solidarity with Zelenskyy immediately. He should have an administration capable of doing that as he took to the phones.

It could deliver up to 2.2% GDP growth.
It's within Starmer's red lines.
