But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

Worse than that, they just gave up in the last hour or so, before midnight, before even their sales day ended. Ridiculous behaviour.

New poll from Labour Together that really underlines just how utterly negligent it was not to change the electoral system for mayors back to ranked voting.

It's really not that hard. We understand that Labour had a difficult inheritance. It's more that, since taking office, Labour has (it sometimes feels deliberately) stuck its middle finger up at almost everything Labour voters care about. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

nothing has ever made me more hopeless for humanity’s future than watching people reject vaccination of lethal diseases. vaccination is basically the greatest accomplishment in human history. we, in a way, conquered death! we made the world many degrees less cold and cruel! and you DON’T WANT THAT??

Hot tip: The electorate doesn’t like politicians because they retroactively change positions to last year’s dementia grandma Facebook meme. They like people who proactively take stands. That’s what people mean by strength. It’s almost irrelevant what you’re talking about. Nobody likes a worm.

Labour also absolutely needs to learn this, but maybe that's tough for people keen on winning a place in a future Wes Streeting cabinet. (Something I doubt will have the opportunity to happen, mind!)
