I hope all those Labour MPs who voted against the Assisted Dying Bill because they were concerned that government actions would impact the most vulnerable in society, feel the same way next month with the vote to cut disability benefits.

A lot of MPs with beliefs in an afterlife suddenly seem a lot more concerned about palliative care than they ever have before.

Hmm. Turn's out it's only unacceptable to make a Nazi salute if you don't actually mean it.

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

You would never in a 1000 years get this story if the Green Party finished THIRD in a by-election with 61% of the electorate voting for parties who finished above them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour 'squeaked through' with a majority over a hundred times larger than that of the Reform win in Runcorn.

“The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, claimed it would make it “much harder” to get a free trade agreement with the US, where chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef, banned in the EU, are allowed.” And this is a bad thing???

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

Another thing about this - often ignored - is that not just are Labour already losing a higher % of voters to LD/Grn than to Ref, but a much higher % of the potential Reform defectors have defected than potential LD/Grn defectors. Future pain is not going to come from Reform.

Farage is back and more dangerous than before, his new mission is every bit as irrational, counter factual and harmful to us as Brexit was - this one is Nexit. Britain’s exit from Net Zero. buff.ly/BTqUlET

I can see Farage acolytes in 30 years time as the world is suffering the worst effects of the climate crisis saying “No you just weren’t burning the fossil fuels in the exact way Nigel said they should be burned.”

“If your tiebreaker is how often you have been second, United remain the most successful side in English history; if it’s total trophies won, it’s Liverpool.” The (Manchester) Guardian slightly clutching at straws.

Mark Carney is asked how the lessons of Brexit apply to Trump's tariff policy. "When you break off or substantially rupture trade relations with major trading partners... you end up with slower growth, higher inflation, higher interest rates, volatility, a lower currency, a weaker economy." ~AA
