the Palestine Action ban really was a classic Starmer govt move: a hysterical overreaction that won them zero plaudits from the right, cost them badly to the left, and which got shot down in the end anyway.

This is a good sign if this is a purge with a purpose.
Tim Allan, Keir Starmer’s director of communications, has just quit his Downing Street role:
“I have decided to stand down to allow a new No 10 team to be built. I wish the PM and his team every success."

In a thousand years, people will assume "George Osborne" was some sort of mythic person, honourary role, or qualification that was considered for, or made you elligible for, every senior job in early 21st century Britain.
