They need to stop playing games and trying to “triangulate” with Reform. They need to explain what this Labour government is trying to achieve and how the policies they are introducing will help get there. Tell us where you want get and how you’re going to get there

Boring opinion: if people know the name of the Downing Street Chief of Staff, the CoS is not doing a good job.

oooh we are posting super bowls?
As a specialist in Islamic ceramics *cracks knuckles* I present this fabulous 11th c. lustre painted bowl from Fatimid Cairo depicting a Coptic priest. Its white glaze imitates Chinese porcelain and the lustre technique was invented in Iraq a century earlier.

Damn right. There's still time to transform a wasted govt into a transformational one. It's not as though nobody knows what needs doing, or we're lacking ideas about how.
Labour built the NHS in 3 years, and transformed the nation. They can this too. It just takes will.

McSweeney is gone. Time for Starmer to try to salvage his government by launching long overdue proper action to address all the flaws in our political system - peerages, patronage, cronyism, party finances, MPs revolving door, appointments, ministerial code, business interests, Leveson, etc etc.
I wrote this yesterday - Starmer could still turn his premiership around, if he finally, FINALLY, finds the courage to address the grubby circs which allow people like Mandelson to rise so far. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

Morgan McSweeney has resigned
Lots of reasons for it but among them is our revelation on Thursday evening that McSweeney’s think tank paid a PR firm to investigate journalists.
McSweeney was across that decision.
Still so many questions to answer about it
