If two terrorist attacks in the last three months weren't enough to illustrate it, the comments to Rachel's incredibly reasonable take show that anti-semitism is alive and thriving
I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology.
And that's without a mass terror event four days ago

The scourges of terrorism and antisemitism are shared, international challenges and need concerted and determined action to defeat them.

If used correctly this is entirely sensible.
If used as a shorthand for "no regulation forevermore because red tape is bad and growth isn't possible where regulation exists" then it's a big big problem.

The government has pledged to assess the impact of any new food regulations on businesses and inflation, through a cross-departmental Food Inflation Gateway
Food Inflation Gateway to assess impact of regulation on prices
The gateway would provide an opportunity to 'design smarter regulation from the ground up', according to Defra secretary Emma Reynolds

Dear Labour, it is possible to talk every single day about efforts to bring down energy and food bills through climate action, creating better jobs, driving investment, all whilst delivering better outcomes for nature and the planet.

Overall, we find that immigration looks important in polls because it’s highly salient, not because it outranks daily concerns.
Polling captures the salience, but requires a bit of digging to see the whole picture of public priority.

The only strategy the government has consistently pursued is to take maximum pain for its errors and minimum reward for its successes
Great read from @iandunt.bsky.social on whether Starmer should stay or go, including the mystery of how, if you’re launching a popular climate, energy, and growth strategy, why wouldn’t you stage a press conference on it?

Being in Government isn't only about policy. It's about using the office to communicate ideas and to shift narratives.

I'll keep saying it, food price inflation is the main way people feel the cost of living crisis. Energy bills and interest rates may fall, but until the Government faces up to this reality, the sooner they can focus their political capital on helping working people feel "change" in their pockets.
Terrific piece this. Continue to find it bizarre how little “food inflation is off the chain” and “core inflation is above target” featured as topics at Labour conference or more broadly as “theories to why the government is unpopular”.
“I think politicians are ignoring prices and bills and hoping we’ll forget about them and find something else to complain about…”

a) key drivers of food price inflation
b) how food price inflation is the most acute way the cost of living crisis is felt by consumers
