I have joined nearly 100 parliamentarians to call on the Government to reconsider its rejection of compensation for 1950s women for maladministered state pension age changes. The Ombudsman was clear: injustice occurred, compensation should follow.

Ah fair.
No they're quoting the Speccie - so it's not quite that bad, they're just giving a quote to Tim Shipman (who is pretty well sourced as far as I can tell)

I mean I don’t know whether he does hate being prime minister or not but I don’t really think an unnamed Labour source giving a silly quote to *the national* is…evidence
Keir Starmer spends his weekends 'complaining' about how much he 'hates' being Prime Minister, reports say, as his Government faces relentless scandals

I’m moving house tomorrow.
I don’t want to scare people but the last time I moved house was three weeks before lockdown and the time before that, on contemplation, was eight weeks before the 2008 crash.
I guess what I’m saying is “buy gold, guns and water”.

70% of Britons believe it should be illegal for people to film strangers without their consent and share it on social media, amid concerns "manfluencers" are using smart glasses to record such videos featuring women without their knowledge

I mean, I don’t necessarily question much of this - they do need to improve the country! They do need to improve comms! They do need to get their voters out! - but the idea that reform voters are “our people” is just not psephologically true in any shape or form, is it?
On Tuesday, Starmer's political director briefed Labour MPs on how government plans to fight Reform. She said:
- Reform voters are "our people" but "pissed off" with the state of the country
- At Runcorn, Farage mobilised habitual non-voters, while Labour voters stayed at home
- Comms must improve

my cat Eric has taught me that what people really want is to drink out of the washing up bowl, eat Highlife "tasty tuna" and chase small bottles of vape liquid around a flat. This is the kind of powerful truth that is seldom discussed in the Westminster bubble.

The last time a clip made me feel this murderous it was the Marsh family singing a little ditty about Gisele Pelicot
Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests.
It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.
