More Labour MPs starting to express public unease at these proposals. Lots more saying so privately...

Note, the far right guys aren’t going ‘we can vote Labour now they’re speaking our language’, they’re going ‘look, these idiots are smoothing the way for the extremist parties we have very openly said we’ve going to vote for for several years now.’

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion
Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

Dear Mahmood/Labour,
Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X.

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?
