The Winter Olympics is a dazzling spectacle – but on the ground in Italy the mood is darker | Jamie Mackay The Games could have showcased Milan’s abundant culture and architecture. Instead it has filled the city with gaudy pavilions and gentrification, says writer and translator Jamie Mackay

This is what you get when the organisation of large events is left to a combination of culturally empty far right government and a singular obsession with money.

Britain’s care system promotes modern slavery. A genuinely humane government would reform it | Andrea Egan New proposals that would force poorly paid migrant workers to wait longer for earned settlement are nothing more than an assault on working-class people, says Unison’s general secretary Andrea Egan

Sadly we have a government that hasn’t been genuine about anything except shitting on everything Labour used to stand for.

‘Jellyfish’ and ‘doormat’: why is Keir Starmer so deeply unpopular? From his public persona to a sense that he sold the country a pup, many factors seem to feed a sense of ‘great dislike’

If I hear one more prick tell me about Keir Starmer’s “innate” fucking decency…

Keir Starmer is the bandage Labour can’t rip off for fear of opening old wounds | Rafael Behr The party’s MPs know their leader is failing but they are paralysed by fear of a contest with no obvious successor, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

If you can’t push for Keir Starmer to resign because you can’t think of a single other person in your party who could replace him, then why on earth should anyone vote for any Labour MP at all? What kind of message is that?
What a shambles.

Great, that means we’re going to have to listen to yet another round of oozing pustules banging on about Keir Starmer’s inner decency, as if repetition will somehow bring it into existence.

The Real Keir comes out fighting and turns the tables on deluded Kemi | John Crace The Tory leader thinks she has masterminded the PM’s series of crises. You could put her on a fairground ride and she would still think she was in control of where she was going

There can be no Real Keir until the Blue Fairy decides he’s earned it.

The Guardian view on Keir Starmer and rotten peers: go back to the reforming spirit of the Labour manifesto | Editorial Editorial: The prime minister would be in a stronger position now if he had moved harder and faster with plans to reform and ultimately abolish the Lords

Lords reform, it is very clear, was another one of Keir Starmer’s lies right from the start.

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn | Wes Streeting I knew him but not well, and worry now that he thrived in our political culture. There was a failure of moral seriousness, says health secretary Wes Streeting

Fuck off, Wes.

What links Jeffrey Epstein and Keir Starmer’s government? A thick seam of contempt | Nesrine Malik We’re often told the PM is a ‘decent’ man. But in appointing Peter Mandelson he chose political convenience over doing right by trafficked women and girls, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

“Call Starmer’s decision… stupid, unwise, but it cannot be described as uncalculated. Mandelson’s value to the leadership mattered more than his associations with the world’s best-known child sex offender. And therefore must have mattered more than the victims.”
