Key workers keep London moving. They deserve to live in the city they serve.

That’s why I’m proud to have launched the Key Worker Living Rent scheme, which could save key workers thousands per year in rent.
London's key workers could save £6,000 rent a year with 6,000 discounted homes
The rents will be capped at £600.

While there is justified outrage about Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor &others, the relentless media focus on Keir Starmer (who was NOT mentioned in any Epstein file) is overdone.
By contrast, no focus on Farage who WAS mentioned (and who, BTW, applauded the appointment of Mandelson)…

The difficulty is that this is not "a simple problem".

There is no simple route to "growth, jobs and rising living standards" in an age of tariff wars, disruptive new technologies, climate change, war in Ukraine, Brexit & Trump.

The pretence that these things *were* easy has done Labour real harm

Our new polling with More in Common exposes a simple problem in British politics.

Voters want growth, jobs and rising living standards.

But they don’t think politicians are focused on any of them.

Save the date! At Evensong on Thursday 5 March, the Cathedral will be formally receiving the Bury Psalter, which has been gifted by the King Edward VI Grammar School Foundation Trust. Dating from around 1400, it was used at the ancient Abbey of St Edmund. Everyone is welcome at this special service

BA.3.2 update. We're up to 89 US wastewater detections. It's around 2% of the total now.

Why is Trump posting racist memes about the Obamas in the late hours of the night?

Because he's racist.

But this is also perhaps a sign that his ongoing mental decline is getting even worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHLciC67V8
