When he dies I’m not going to be taking the moral high ground, I’m going to be down in the swamp hooting and cackling
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

Is that why no university fees apply to medical degrees? Is that why we give doctors social housing?
Oh no, wait, none of that happens.

The Labour government's refusal to tackle Brexit is a tragedy.
They staked everything on a return to economic growth, but they won't do anything serious about the biggest obstacle to growth.
All we have seen are tiny tweaks at the edge.
It's not a side issue – it's the whole economic story.

Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
I'm sorry, but these attacks are just not going to convince Green-curious voters, because Labour is so visibly out of step with those voters' core values
This by @umakumaran.bsky.social is good - and a example of exactly how Labour should be taking on the Greens; on values, direct and on Labour territory. Taking them seriously.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
