Sure Start: Tackling inequality in the early years to transform lives The governmentโ€™s โ€˜Best Start Family Hubsโ€™ 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 โ€“ educationally, socially, even in health.

Sure Start was designed to break this cycle. It worked. Now it may be coming back. Hereโ€™s what we know โคต๏ธ

Agrรฉe with regard Brizol ...

However, I'd be expecting some/all those independents might be assimilated into Proj Corbyn?!

Corbyn will motivate the young fair enough... but the Left left Labour before the last election (hence 4 x Greens)

Possibly the biggest losers here will be the Greens

I personally feel this new party will hurt the Greens most

The Left left Labour at the last election (hence 4 x Green MPs)

I'm staying optimistic and the thought of a FrogFace govt will bring out the shy voters for all the Progressive parties

For the same reason 17/19 saw big(ish) turnouts. Brexit motivated

The last election didn't motivate as the Tories were seen as beyond cooked/finished

FrogFace turns off more people than he inspires. Hopefully (& with Progressive voting loaning) the worst case scenario will be a Left coalition ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

Im guessing (probably too optimisticly) that the thought of this weasel getting in will bring out the shy voters against him in 28/29
Elections are 'normally' won on centre ground.. hopefully rules out FrogFace (and Corbyn for that matter)

Im thinking at this stage, Corbyn is a bigger threat to the Greens than Labour...

Many on the Left have already stopped voting Labour, hence 4 x Green MPs (which was good news)

Me.... I'll vote progressive and whoever locally will keep out Tories/Reform. And that's what we ALL should do!!

But agree, Farage has a fascistic smell about him
If Corbyn is the decent person we both hope, he will only campaign at seats where Labour/Libs/Greens/etc aren't sitting
But I suspect he'll campaign where it hurts Lab most, & will possibly help Farage?
Best case he'll only take Green votes I fear

They did, but against 2 of the worst PMs the country has ever had, AND during a period of huge political motivation. And he lost

The British political system is a little more nuanced than just numbers. What Corbyn did wasn't sufficient, and he let the Tories in at THE most consequential of times

Meta to pull political ads in EU countries

EU regulations are designed to address concerns around information manipulation and foreign interference in elections.

The UK should put similar restrictions in place. Or better still #RejoinEU and benefit from EU wide regulations

Pecksniff: Exclusive! We reveal far right plot behind Epping riots In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Far-right thuggery spreads from Epping to Diss, while Farage spins & the media swoons.

Greens rise, Lib Dems mumble, Labour expels its conscience.

Colchester stands up to hate.

Severe malnutrition among under-5s in Gaza City has tripled in two weeks, charity says MSF says number of people needing care for malnutrition has quadrupled since May and blames Israeli โ€˜policy of starvationโ€™ * Middle East crisis โ€“ live updates The medical charity Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres (MSF) has said that rates of severe malnutrition among children under five at its Gaza City clinic have tripled in the last two weeks as starvation in the Israeli-besieged strip worsens. The global aid community has sounded the alarm as Gaza descends deeper into mass starvation, with daily deaths from starvation reported as Israel allows only a trickle of aid into the territory.

Have you made the jump to Reform yet Rosie...?
Or maybe another extreme Right Wing Limited Company?

(If Reform isn't to your liking, I'm sure Nige will set another one up soon?!)
