The River Tees at High Force this morning after last nights heavy rain. There is some floodwater coming over the middle of High Force, but it had dropped considerably by the time I got there.

Think this correct
One important reason Ed Miliband is unlikely to become PM is that he doesn't want to be PM. Maybe he'd do it if he absolutely had to, but there are plenty of people who would volunteer so he has no reason to take that bullet.

Labour have increased public spending on services by £69.5 billion in the last budget.
There has been an increase in capital spending, public sector pay, benefits & day to day spending.
To imply that they haven’t is a simple barefaced lie.

An astonishing number of people in the Labour party have forgotten that the modal Labour member is a socially concerned current or retired middle class public sector worker in their mid-50s who dislikes being referred to as 'cis' but also thinks you should respect people's pronouns.

I’m at a loss to understand why anyone would think briefing this sort of thing will help KeirStarmer, the government or even themselves. Some people can’t resist, I guess, but it all a bit nuts.

Introducing a pay per mile levy at this stage would be bad for the EV transition, but scrapping salary sacrifice would be catastrophic.
