‘Is it the fact that the victims are Muslim? What’s the difference?’ ‘The PM is willing to talk about one, but not the other.’ @alimilani.bsky.social‬ and @lewisgoodall.com question why Keir Starmer called out Russia’s ‘war crimes’ in Ukraine, but won’t say the same of Israel in Gaza.

“If they’d explained everything about Brexit, I’d probably have voted Remain!” @lewisgoodall.com visits The Talbot in Blackpool, the UK’s first Reform pub, where the owner regrets Brexit - but stops short of blaming one of the key figures who sold it to him: Nigel Farage.

Special assignment for me: a night out in Blackpool in Britain's first Reform Pub. The owner told us he'd now vote Remain, if he knew then what he knows now. The story though was the same as everywhere: the most profound rejection of politics itself. youtu.be/4sUKHr9KauA?...

Interesting speech and change of emphasis from Reeves. Getting ahead of criticism on fiscal rules. Tone is now staunchly Brownite rather than Osbornite. Return to Labour emphasis on investment vs cuts. Question is whether that washes when day to day spending is so tight.

"It's nonsensical, it's about a third of the entire pay bill of the civil service" @fdagensec.bsky.social talks to @lewisgoodall.com about Reform's claim that £7 billion could be saved by cutting DEI initiatives from government.

As I told @lewisgoodall.com, much like the spending rounds for central government, cutting public spending and public services is about political priorities. There are no mythical billions to be saved just by doing things differently.

Big moment for Polish and European politics. Hard right Law and Justice Party candidate Karol Nawrocki defeats liberal Tusk backed candidate in presidential election. Will mean domestic paralysis of Tusk govt endures. PiS will hope to return in 2 years. Brussels will be disappointed.

The Trump administration is stepping up its attacks on American universities. The State Dept has now suspended interviews for all foreign students applying for study visas while it sets up procedures to review their social media posts. They say this is to fight anti-Semitism.

Spot on @lewisgoodall.com the irony is we’ve got an indirect form of racial profiling from the police in #Liverpool but die to the evolving nature of media and misinformation what else could have been done?

Quite rare I don’t love shows I see @nationaltheatre.org.uk but Here We Are really didn’t hit the spot with me. Two pretty disjointed halves and last section just dull. Not the send off you’d want for Sondheim. A shame. Great staging though and rest of the crowd seemed to love it.

"The police did it because of them: precisely because they knew what the agenda of these people would be." Spot on analysis.

This is a really good piece. The more I think about how the police handled yesterday the more uneasy I am. And yet, I'm not sure they had much choice. The violent, radicalised, online far right is warping police best practice.

If the hard and far right need to blame anyone for “two-tier” policing, they need only look to themselves and the invidious position in which they’ve put officers. My latest, on Liverpool open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
