Badenoch has called Starmer a lawyer not a leader.
Starmer has just demolished her. He is a leader and a lawyer. She is neither.

Never seen this before. Hawks being carried through the airport. Fascinating!

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

Heartbreaking: Neo-soul legends Angie Stone and D’Angelo both passed away in 2025, just 7 months apart. Stone died in March at 63. D’Angelo died today at 51. They shared a son together. An entire generation’s soundtrack, gone. Rest in power to both 🕊️💔

It certainly feels like the Labour government is about to transition to the next phase of the Brexit debate by publicly acknowledging the damage it's done to the economy.

Starmer is due to say it. Streeting already has.

This is not the start of reversing Brexit, but placing blame where it's due.

3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

Faintly amusing that the IFS' argument to Reeves on tax reform is basically: You're fucked either way, so you might as well do something decent for the country while you're taking all this pain www.reuters.com/world/uk/uks...

UK's Reeves should use budget to reform tax system, IFS says

British finance minister Rachel Reeves should use her budget in November to carry out a long overdue reform of the taxation system which could help her to raise more revenue while limiting the hit to the economy, a think tank said on Monday.

What's this?

An actual media story being positive about the real achievements the Labour government are making towards delivering their manifesto.

I know many of you already know this fact, but isn't it good to see someone in the media reporting it?

Thank you @politicsjoe.bsky.social

Labour has already delivered or making progress towards two-thirds of its manifesto pledges

The Labour government has already delivered or is making progress towards around two thirds of its manifesto pledges, after just over a year in power.

This was always the most authentic Rishi Sunak: the head boy and Asian Dad as Prime Minister, promoting more numeracy, more maths and more chess as the route to productivity and prosperity
