Audi is making a new A2, and instead of making a true successor to the spacious small car that was so great, it looks like they’ve said “how can we flog yet another giant crossover”. Ahm oot.

It's good that Reform doesn't have another seat. It's good that Starmer is now done. If this means Labour pulls back across from being a barely centre-right party to a reasonably centre-left one, that's also good. The trouble is: the evidence suggests that's not going to happen.

Andy Burnham suggests resurrecting the Northern leg of HS2 to Manchester by changing the way infrastructure projects are funded. If that works for Manchester, why not for the eastern leg to the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Leeds, too? inews.co.uk/news/andy-bu...

The headline talks about Antisemitism fears. Yet both people were criticising a genocidal Israeli Government. This constant conflation of criticism of Jewish people with criticism of Israel makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe. Such a dangerous decision by Labour.
