‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour.
Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule.

Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

15-year-old black girl Child Q was strip searched by the Met while on her period because she 'smelled of weed'. David Cameron was caught smoking cannabis at Eton and no further action was taken. That's the state of class and race politics in Britain today.

I have tried & failed to find appropriate words to describe this extraordinary article. Suffice to say that if you read it, you will never forget it. Or the little boy at its heart.
I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.

No political show should pass without the presenter asking the question 'What are your party's policies for dealing with the climate emergency?'. But the scientific ignorance of #bbclaurak et al is staggering and they would much rather be talking about their favourite culture wars issues.
