Can you imagine the uproar if Labour had endorsed a councilor convicted of harassment of MPs so severe he had a custodial sentence. It would be correctly roundly condemned so why not now! KB is undermining the protection of councillors.

The Tories actually cut over 13,000 prison places and added 14,142 - net figure under 500. Labour has added 3,200 places since the 2024 general election. It's just a pity that they're all so keen to just lock people up, unlike e.g. Finland and Netherlands.

The cost of fielding extremely low‑calibre candidates in by‑elections is becoming clear. Ever since Gorton and Denton, and then Makerfield, Reform have lost momentum. Added to that, with the latest furore surrounding Farage, Reform now find themselves slipping down the polls.

Latest leader approvals 🌹Burnham bumps up to +19, 8 higher than Keir’s high of 11. 🌳Badenoch down slightly to break even 🔶Davey drops back to -11 💚Polanski is at -24 ➡️Farage drops to another low, by far his lowest since the election at -32
