I don't know anyone else who can write like this. Some writers you just feel like there's nothing you can do to improve their work. You don't need me at all www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Sean O'Grady on YP: 'Corbyn would be the elder statesman: experienced, lost two elections in a row, that sort of thing. Sultana, on the other hand, would represent youth, hope, optimism, and the certainty of losing many more general elections in future' www.independent.co.uk/voices/corby...
Could Jeremy Corbyn’s new party actually come to Starmer’s rescue?
The chaotic launch of Your Party suggests it will be anything but a slick, well-oiled political machine – and hiving off Labour’s hard left might prove beneficial to the government, says Sean O’Grady

Very funny as ever. But I will say one thing: I think most people underestimate Starmer. And even when he does something brilliant, with no fuss, each time they still say "Oh but *apart* from that.. ". I think people take him for granted.
Keir Starmer by @jonnelledge.bsky.social, via @ianleslie.bsky.social: “A man who moves through politics like a Roomba moves through your living room: without a plan, capable of mapping the territory only when he bangs into things and has to reverse” jonn.substack.com/p/why-is-kei...
Why is Keir Starmer Like A Roomba, And Other Questions
This week: fine, I will think about British politics again if I must. Also: the partition of Germany that never was; and Charley goes to New Town.

This was the last one. The column has been decommissioned now, and I don't know how to write about anything else, so that's that. I hope it made some of you smile on occasion. www.independent.co.uk/news/correct...
