Mitigating the climate crisis by stopping the burning of fossil fuels has a massive co-benefit we should talk about all the time: a >3% of GDP savings through less air pollution.

In response to a parliamentary petition, MPs tonight debated Russian influence in UK politics. Guess who didn't join in.

So glad a debate is finally happening. This goes to the heart of the security of our democratic system. I’ve taken part in court cases against successive governments for their failure to investigate hostile state interference in UK elections - ministers’ lack of curiosity is truly shocking 👇

Chart showing likability of political parties compared with chart showing likeability of political leaders.

🔴Net likeability ratings for Starmer (-50) equal Corbyn’s previous low, while the party is less liked than any time in Ipsos trends going back to 2007 (-22). But Labour is still more liked than its leader – and more than the other parties.

Unless we fundamentally overhaul how British politics works, there will be more victims - and more Epsteins. No political party is immune as this is about the institutions of decision making - Here are five ways we can create cultural change in our democracy.

Another warns it represents "full speed ahead to uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism". An MP who has been through several general elections when the tide was against Labour says of colleagues: "Good luck to all these careerists when they face an election without someone like Morgan at the helm. "Some of us are old enough to remember the Corbyn era with no one in charge and the party floundering." 16:57 08/02/2026 1.3K Views
