In 15 years when Peter Mandelson is next sacked from the government, having been caught red-handed robbing a bank, commentators will confidently predict that his career is definitely over this time.

It's only continuing because the media thrives on this type of story. As a Labour party member I want Burnham to stfu and get on with the job he was elected to do in May 2024. I want the rest of them to promote the excellent policies being delivered and ignore the hostile media and irrelevant polls.

Seems VAT on private school fees delivers £1.4bn considerably more than estimated. IPaper reports today. That’s great news. Thanks Rachel. More money for the 93% of kids attending State Schools.

Fantastic news... it's about time ALL mobility aids were recycled & reused by NHS....
♻️ Residents can now recycle their unwanted crutches, sticks, frames and rollators at any Norfolk Recycling Centre!
⏰ No appointment necessary for dropping off walking aids, just drop them at the reuse shops.

‘Pretty birds and silly moos’: the women behind the Sex Discrimination Act
In the 50 years since equal rights for women were enshrined in UK law, the campaigners have been reduced to caricatures, or forgotten. But their struggle is worth remembering

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."
In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.
Maybe Beth is on a diet.
