Zack Polanski nails the art of politics in one sentence, which also explains why Labour under Starmer is dismally failing to engage the electorate.

The press corps is so indifferent to religion it can’t recognize a religion story unless it’s rightwing evangelicals screaming about *their* religion story.
Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

That hardly looks sumptuous to me! When Mr Farage orders a proper dinner we expect foie gras (the real thing, not just pâté!), wren pie, antique muntjac vindaloo and giant bearded clams. Washed down with the finest wines known to humanity and excellent Montecristos. Please don’t exaggerate again.

A policy that has attracted zero voters from Reform but has alienated those who thought we might see change under Labour. Time for McSweeney to bow out now.

The guy should get a medal. He’s trashed Labour’s natural support base, sunk them to a distant second or third in the polls and made Starmer the most unpopular PM in history all for the grand reward of 0% of Reform voters switching to Labour. Quite an achievement.

Put his extravagant lifestyle, his dubious friends, his revenue streams, his real policies beyond selective soundbites, his voting history & attendance in House of Commons & his treacherous support for Trump & Putin in the headlines.
