Yes great, but the last time he said this he followed it up with asylum policies which divided people and played on their sense of grievance. Hopefully the departure of McSweeney means things will be different this time, but I'm sceptical.
Starmer:

"The real fight is not in the Labour Party. It's with the right-wing politics that challenges that. The politics of Reform... Divide, divide, divide. Grievance, grievance, grievance. That will tear our country apart... I will be in that fight as long as I have breath in my body."

ICE had the worst of the worst after all. Not in custody, but on payroll.

MAGA fascists are pissed at Lisa Murkowski. 😂 It looks like the pedophile führer's latest attempt to suppress the vote and rig the 2026 midterm elections is destined to fail. In states with long-standing universal vote-by-mail, fraud is "essentially zero."

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Think Streeting’s WhatsApps are a lot like Sunak’s “he’s been Eurosceptic since sixth form!”: wholly accurate, actually a pretty good guide to the man, believed by almost nobody.

A woman discovered her dog had almost no brain after taking her to the vet for a seizure. This is Maggie. She had hydrocephalus, a fluid buildup in the brain cavity that filled 95% of her skull. Low sodium levels kept the disease at bay and allowed her to live to the ripe old age of 12. 13/10

This can be the site for breaking news, if journalists choose to break news on it. It is as simple as that. And that is not utopian. It is precisely what has happened the last week or so. If you weren't on BlueSky, you were late to each development.

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.
