Kemi works in Westminster where sexual abuse and misconduct are completely endemic. In the last parliament, 2 MPs were convinced and jailed (Elphicke and Imran Khan), Hill lost an Employment Tribunal case and Donaldson was charged. In this parliament, there are 2 pending cases (Norris and Spencer).

Has any political party blown itself up as comprehensively as Labour did in 2025?
They had EVERYTHING going for them after the election: a gigantic majority and a population desperate for a positive respite from 14 calamitous Tory years.
And yet it's been own goal after own goal after own goal.

🧵/ How has political opinion changed over 2025?
In voting intention, Labour have made the biggest losses, while the Greens have gained most, and Reform UK have established a clear lead
Ref: 28% (+3 from 12-13 Jan)
Lab: 18% (-8)
Grn: 17% (+9)
Con: 17% (-5)

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.
