From Stephen Bush in the FT. I think this is why Starmer's getting the politics so wrong, in that he's trusting Glasman and McSweeney to tell him everything he needs to know, rather than gauging what the MPs are trying to tell him. If he wants to help both Reform and the Greens, he'll stick to his guns, and either stay in post and lose the next election, or be replaced by a fractious parliamentary party who aren't being listened to.

Lucy Powell elected deputy Labour leader, having been sacked as minister by Starmer not many weeks ago..
Maybe she can prize a gap between Starmer and Blue Labour (aka Reform Lite).

The police are actively screening social media far more than appearing on the streets.
There is a better chance of arresting the poster after he outed this illegal immigrant sex offender.

Listening, it's comically bad 👎
How many frigging surveillance cameras have they got in and around London, yet cant locate one person, who by all accounts tried to get back into prison .
What funds? Is this the weekly pocket money or jas he got a bank account with his new iPhone

Her claim total extinction for 3.2C is patently false.
Earth has been far far warmer previously

Saw TV excerpts of her acceptance/victory speech and she was explicit "We cannot out-Reform Reform" which whilst she didn't direct it has a very very clear direction. I doubt the "target" is listening.

Wes Streeting is publicly saying Labour should be calling out the racism-normalisation more too. I think Starmer has a choice: to listen and change, or to stay in his Blue Labour bubble and be replaced by a discontented PLP. I suspect the May local elections will be a tipping point.

This isn't the US. It's more likely Donnie will stop the primaries.

ITYM the mid terms, otherwise spot on. The ongoing reorganisation of local authorities will probably mean some elections not going ahead, and that's likely to be seized on by reform as Starmer cancelling the local elections. As we can see, the usual morons will lap it up.

I intensly dislike that local authority reorganisations stop our democratic rights. Politicians decided to reotganise and then that means we don't get a vote (or delayed). Central core of our democracy is that if they are not doing what we want we can vote them out of office ... until they decided to reorganise themselves which makes us powerless.
