This isn’t a picture of Mel Stride and the shadow chancellor being misidentified on ConHome feels quite indicative of where the Tories are at.

Mel Stride: Conservatives are the only people who tell the truth, and have a plan for growth that means something | Conservative Home
It falls to us, the Conservatives, to win back the country’s trust and reverse the economic vandalism of this Labour government. We can and we will.

The change in tone is so noticeable (which is good) and its a good reminder that in the end even a very bad labour leader is subject to the power of their average mps telling him to get it together, and those mps are rly sensitive to certain causes
NEW - A punchy Keir Starmer at cabinet condemns the violence at Saturday's march "led by a convicted criminal" saying they had "sent a chill through the spines of people around the country, and particularly many ethnic minority Britons."

Optically, the move by Dunny Kruger is really bad for Kemi Badenoch. But this guy is a textbook case of the Right's decay over time – from having something kind of useful to say, to subsequently descending into Hard Right political idiocy. Today's move just caps off that journey.

My musical tribute to Dame Cleo Laine who has died at the age of 97. Such a great jazz singer. But not only jazz. Pop, classical, she did it all. I remember her performing He Was Beautiful (Cavatina) with classical guitarist John Williams. Beautiful.

I have yet to see any political acknowledgement of the fact that in 20 or so years, a significant swathe of the population, much more than has been anticipated, will be approaching retirement age without owning a home, and many if not most of them still in the private rental sector.
