If Andy Burnham pledges to ban people who were children in 1976 talking about how they "just got on with it" he'll be Prime Minister for life
It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.
The PM met with the family of Henry Nowak today. Here are his words: "I was profoundly humbled to meet Henry Nowak's family, Mark, Lucy and Katie, in Downing Street this afternoon, & to see their dignity and strength in the face of unimaginable pain." "I was moved to learn more about Henry." 1/4
Absolutely shocking. No clue. No idea. No respect for workers rights - doesn't affect him so he doesn't seem to care...
If anyone actually thinks the media are going after Keir Starmer and get him to resign, I have a message for you: they are not doing that. They are going after a Labour Prime Minister and trying to get them to resign. 1/2
In light of Starmer being open and transparent over the security clearance of Mandelson, only fair that Badenoch now releases the advice surrounding Lord Lebedev. We still don’t know why the son of a former KGB agent is in the House of Lords. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...
Evgeny Lebedev: Ministers withhold security advice over Lords seat
Labour accuses ministers of a cover-up over the Russian-born media mogul's appointment to the Lords.

Trump: "Spain has been terrible. I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. They said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it."
Jeez. This is awful. Well done Victoria Derbyshire for not letting it go #StudentLoansScandal

Well, I’ve watched the first few minutes of Dirty Business on C4 and I’m convinced there’ll be even more support for renationalising water by tomorrow morning. The Government is mad not to get on with it.
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity
So Trump came up when I was debating with Andrea Jenkyns of Reform… And unbelievably she almost walked off the show.
BREAKING: Waspi women compensation bid rejected again after government review What is so staggering about this is the huge number of Labour MPs (including many now in cabinet) who backed the Waspi campaign in opposition news.sky.com/story/waspi-...

The Women Against State Pensions Inequality will not get the billions of pounds they claimed they were owed. Labour announced they were reviewing a previous rejection at the end of last year.

A very welcome move by our Labour government! Academy trusts will now face inspections, not just the schools they run. Until now, there has been little oversight of how academy trusts operate. But inspections will ensure their governance and leadership is subject to scrutiny. 1/3

Guy Shrubsole@guyshrubsole.bsky.social · 8mo agoREVEALED: Willow trees on Dartmoor common owned by Prince William deliberately poisoned with herbicide This is an outrageous act of sabotage.

It’s the BBC v Trump, Farage and co. Who in their right mind would want to be its new boss? | Marina Hyde
Public life is a minefield and the best and brightest just don’t want to know. How convenient for foes of the most trusted news organisation in the world, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.
I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country. Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.
