Said this before, will again. Badenoch is the most dangerous figure in British politics. She's not as extreme as Farage or Lowe, but her impact is more pernicious. She actively prevents the British centre-right from adopting moderate positions, and thereby facilitates the radicalisation process.

I do worry a lot about the future for kids, but increasingly I also worry how this is going to affect my own generation growing older. Selfishly as well as selflessly, we must act.

He’s by far the most qualified candidate for the job. If Burnham doesn’t put Ed in No11, he will have weakened himself from the start – just like Starmer ✏️ @jamesrball.com

Removal of an independent appeals process sets what should be a chilling precedent for the Administrative State and truly Draconian concession to executive power. Anyone voting for this has nothing to offer the left and will continue in the Starmerite tradition of pitch rolling for Reform.

“If I drive drunk down the road, I can't then say: Tell you what, instead of appearing before a magistrate, I'll stand for councillor instead and let the people of Bermondsey decide if I am innocent. That's not how any of this f*****g works. You don't get to use popularity as a form of acquittal.”

Calling a by-election over the sovereign right of every MP to take secret gifts from a convicted criminal. What a time to be alive.
CLACTON BY-ELECTION KLAXON Now read Ruth's thread on how, even if Nigel Farage fights and wins a by-election, parliament could still continue its investigation into whether he broke the MPs' Code of Conduct
Ruth Fox@ruthfox.bsky.social · 2mo ago🧵 Amid all the speculation about Nigel Farage's 2pm statement, it's worth noting paragraph 40 of the Procedural Protocol to the MPs' Code of Conduct. If he announces he's resigning and seeking a by-election, that would not automatically end the investigation into whether he breached the Code in...
