"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us."
What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.
What contempt for voters. ~AA

Two policies will deliver Labour the 2029 general election, and a share of power indefinitely:
A) Rejoining the EU
B) PR
Surely it's better to have a big influence on policy essentially forever rather than all the marbles for one GE cycle then back in the wilderness for decades?

And Nigel Farage is benefitting from the wreckage.
This was always my greatest fear with Brexit - that it would bring about stagnant conditions that favour extreme populism.

Australian elections called for the 3rd May - really interesting ones to watch.
If Labor win there - and they're just ahead in the polls - and Carney wins in Canada it will help check the global rise of the right and give Starmer some more long-term international allies.
