My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

A result which both illustrates the magnitude of the Reform threat and the problems with Labour’s “Farage is right, don’t vote for him” response. 37 point Lab to Reform swing. Labour go from first to 4th as anti-Reform vote splits 3 ways. Combined Lab/LD/Grn vote larger than Reform vote.

If London did not have a brown, Muslim mayor it would never get a mention on the right in either the UK or US. Sadiq Khan has the wrong name, religion and skin colour. That's it. There's nothing more to know. Thank-you for attending my TED Talk

A million times this. It’s incredible that the ‘big brains’ advising the Labour Party genuinely think that they can convert people who are fans of Farage to vote for Keir Starmer. It’s just not going to happen, however cruel your policies become.
"There is an obvious lesson to take from this, that the government seems almost certain to ignore: there is no way for the government to win for as long as it plays this game…The goalposts will be endlessly shifted."

The party has never got over Partygate and also never processed why it mattered as a scandal.
So they are desperate to confect a parallel as a "Get Out of Opposition Free" card.

The Labour Chancellor has delivered a Budget whose headroom is still small, and is based on a series of optimistic assumptions and tax rises in an election year, and your story is...litigating which one of the chess competitions in the 90s was the *real* under-14 champion? Really?

It's like the incredibly tedious "Rachel from accounts" thing. Misogyny in politics remains a powerful force.
When I was at an Oxford college whose library for some reason has a copy of Reeves’ BA thesis, I was separately approached by two different people asking for help to get hold of it. The obsession with taking down her intellectual credentials is revealing - and absolutely mental.
This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.
