It’s simply the wrong strategy. Starmer is alienating his core base and won’t convince any Reform voters by cosplaying the hard guy now.
I’m genuinely getting tired of this.

Interesting to speak to former Conservative Deputy PM Lord Heseltine for this latest edition...

"Oswald Mosley marched against the Jews in the 1930s. Enoch Powell made the 'rivers of blood' speech in the 1960s. And Nigel Farage represents a new incarnation of that degree of prejudice & bitterness"

🧵Ever wonder why #Epstein cut ties with #Trump (not the other way around)?

E. was eyeing a $36M mansion. He asked Trump for advice on moving the pool.
Then Trump swoops in and buys it—for $40M.
Epstein, a financier with deep knowledge of Trump’s finances, knew Trump couldn’t afford it.🔻

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo @Claudiashein. 29m Tuvimos una muy buena llamada con el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump. Evitamos el aumento de aranceles anunciado para mañana y logramos 90 días para construir un acuerdo de largo plazo a partir del diálogo. Me acompañaron Juan Ramón de la Fuente, secretario de Relaciones Exteriores; Marcelo Ebrard, secretario de Economía, y Roberto Velasco, subsecretario para América del Norte.

Mexico has defeated the United States again.

Trump has been forced by President Sheinbaum to extend his previous tariff freeze by another 90 days. Previously Trump declared he wasn't going to extend it but after one phone call with the Mexican President he folded.

Visitors to #Edinburgh, do remember the ancient custom of spending £1 for every year of your life in a local, independent shop.

Also, the centuries-old tradition of picking up one piece of litter for the number of letters in your full name.

How Labour and Reform frame crime in electoral fights Labour has previously turned crime into a public services issue, while Farage now bets on linking it to immigration

What Farage is trying to do is pull the same trick, except instead of using 'crime' to talk about spending he is using crime to talk about immigration:

The BBC are now the personal PR machine of the fascists at Reform. They're following the decade old strategy of flooding the newsrooms with shit, and the BBC is dutifully reporting every stinking press-release they churn out as if it's the word of god. We're drowning in a deluge of client journalism

Public ownership is the only way to save the water industry Public ownership is the only viable alternative but is opposed by the government

Are you ready to pay £1,000bn+ by 2050 to keep England's water in private hands?

With inflation, it will be even higher. Shareholders will be richer. People won't own anything.

Why do Ministers never talk about the cost of privatisation?

Soon water will cost as much as energy.

Must end the scam.

Artist's impression of Trump's proposed extension to the White House:

Britain is about to start fighting over fracking again Nigel Farage’s Reform UK think there’s hundreds of billions of pounds worth of shale gas ripe for exploiting. But are they ready for the fracking backlash?

#Fracking, let's start with some basic facts. There is a global gas market. It would not be "cheap gas".

Aside from the fact of it costing the Earth

Gaza will be remembered as the first Genocide that was live streamed and everybody knew about.

And they didn't even stop sending the bombs to carry it out.

No, Trump, history does not bend to your will. Scholars won't all kowtow to your loyalty tests. Facts are stubborn things. And the historical exhibits about your disgraces, corruption, and incompetence will be legion. You little putz.

Russia fired more drones at Ukraine in July than in any month since it launched its 2022 invasion, intensifying its deadly bombardment of the country as peace talks stalled, an AFP analysis showed Friday.

President Zelenskyy's signature on the law restoring NABU & SAPO independence is a welcome step.

Ukraine’s rule of law and anti-corruption reforms should continue. They remain essential for Ukraine’s progress on the European path.

The EU will continue to support these efforts.

Sure Start: Tackling inequality in the early years to transform lives The government’s ‘Best Start Family Hubs’ are reviving one of the most successful initiatives of New Labour. But will it work this time?

By age 5, children from the poorest families are already behind their wealthier peers – educationally, socially, even in health.

Sure Start was designed to break this cycle. It worked. Now it may be coming back. Here’s what we know ⤵️
