Fascinating watching people who celebrated the rise to power of an ex-human rights lawyer, as a sign that sensible, law-based politics had returned, now making excuses for their man’s refusal to uphold international law

Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

I heard Starmer described on the radio yesterday as ‘someone who cares deeply about international law’ and like… he doesn’t appear to, guys?

Chris Mason really should be getting far more heat that Laura Kuenssberg used to. We know why he doesn’t but the man is an absolute journalism void so deep in the politics as nerdy spectator sport upholding neoliberalism vortex it’s like an unfunny satire
The deepest analysis of Labour’s woes Chris Mason can offer involves poring over polling %ages, wibbling about comms & halfhearted gestures at y’know, social media & stuff. If you’re after anything about its wildly unpopular policies or strategy of wooing people who hate it, sorry, he’s not your man
Why 2026 is Keir Starmer's make or break year
With devolved elections coming up, questions over Labour’s direction and internal 'campaigning' already underway according to some insiders, where does this all leave the prime minister?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

There are a lot of compelling explanations for this, from support for genocide, to continuing the Tories political project while promising change and promoting bigotry. Ultimately though the best explanation is to just walk around the UK and ask “Is it getting any better?”
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Is it hard to understand ? Starmer suffers the same problems that led to to 'Pasokification' across Europe, claiming to offer 'change' but doing continuity centrism instead , and because he did so by lying +attacking his own party , doesn't even have a base of his own to counterbalance attacks

Most journalists take it as a given that the public are universally racist and transphobic, and try to cast any pushback to racist and transphobic policies as “extremist”. They can’t comprehend that a significant proportion of the population might be opposed to these things
