Labour & Co-op Cllr for Grantham Springfield. Socialist, European, stoic and rationalist. I also like sharks.
In addition, he is an election strategist not a strategist for government. Starmer knew this when he convinced Sue Gray a strategist in government to be part of his team. This clearly caused a conflict that the government is still trying to deal with. Clean slate needed.

He has become the story. I am sure this was never his intention but the political reality for Labour in making things happen and communication to the people does not involve Morgan.

If truth is the first principle, editing a speech by Donald Trump seems a reasonable thing to do after fact checking. Then they will last mere seconds.

They want to replace them with supine institutions in their own image.

I fear that horse has bolted. Dispossessing someone of their phone is now akin to a human rights violation.

Lest we forget -the far right and authoritarians will always exploit a public event of commemoration for their own grubby purpose.

I hate this programme, but it is a legitimate question about modern political ethics. I don't think they should resign, but I would expect them to be honest about the need for taxation. The cliffhanger approach to setting budgets is more pantomime than serious strategy.

The current crop of far right Tories have no grace, perspective or statesmanship in handling traumatic national events. They are a sorry rabble desperately seeking clicks for reassurance.

He will always defend the interests of the rich, second only to defending his interests and the interests of Putin's Russia.

It didn't take the Putin supporting far right to start exploiting a tragedy for their own ends. Graceless and not very British.

Back in the day, Anderson was a miner and a fan of Scargill and Skinner. Strange how things change.

They don't really care about sexual abuse until they get caught. The con artists in the far right will always defend their proxy army of hopeless, damaged and brutish men until it is not in their interests to do so.

The far right have a reactionary view about the role and function of women in society based on the idea that women are replacing men in positions of power and influence. Myth, brute force and ignorance will always drive the fascist agenda.

Because you only have to do integrity until someone pays you not to do integrity. This is not unusual. But he must know the ignominy is life long.

The fight against the fascists is to oppose and expose as long as they are around. Never ever normalise what they say they are doing.
