This is the key point that is lost in so much Westminster bubble talk on net zero. It is popular. It’s hugely popular with Labour’s base and with the progressive voters it needs to vote tactically to defeat Reform. And it’s even popular with Tories who Labour needs not to switch to Reform.
…as well as being supported by the vast majority of Lab/Lib/Gn voters, almost all Labour MPs, a 2-1 majority of voters overall and – even now – a healthy majority of Con voters

is it a good sign that 2 people you've invited to be on your "Board of Peace" can't join you in Switzerland because they would be arrested for war crimes?

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

This is one of the best analyses of What's Gone Wrong (ie McSweeney) with Starmer since, and, no less importantly, before the GE.
If Starmer is at all serious about retaining Labour's progressive vote, McSweeney and his politics will have to go.

Eye-opening graph. The biggest wildfire incidents in the UK don't occur when it's hottest, in high summer: they take place in April - *when landowners set fire to their grouse moors & lose control of burns.*

True story this. Went to the funeral yesterday for a guy who played the dame every year in the local panto.
The vicar stood in front of the coffin and asked where he was and we all shouted 'he's behind you.' A lovely moment.
