This is very funny.

Only yesterday Starmer was swatting away hacks at a press conference who believed they had questions to answer over it.

The mainstream media, the Tories, and Farage accused Reeves of doing something wrong, again, and were proved wrong, again.

It’s marvellous.

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

I’m just back from Ukraine for the third time. As ever so struck and in awe of the bravery, resilience & sense of humour of the people I met. The rallying around to build new organisations and initiatives that save lives and rescue victims of war. The decision to make art, music - to find joy.

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire is hugely welcome. But it is only a first step and leaves Gazans with no agency, and no tangible path to stabilisation, as I explain here... 1/

How should Labour respond to the radical right threat? Three essays make big strategic arguments:
- @caitprowle.bsky.social calls for Labour to go big on community politics
- @paulmason.bsky.social calls for a "zero-sum socialism"
- @demofuturist.bsky.social calls for a "social democratic futurism"
