I don't understand how 'pick the qualified candidate who is politically closest to you to be your Chancellor or Shadow Chancellor' went from 'a comment so banal as to be a waste of everyone's time to say out loud' to 'a thing that everyone completely forgot from 2019 onwards'.

A few years ago I would swear liberals used to mock up stuff like this on photoshop. The past is a foreign country, and time with it, a flat circle

Caveat being I've not been able to spend all day y'day and today in constituency, and I get the feeling turnout will be solid at the least. Been an uptick in response across board since 5/6pm

Escaping an international spiral of economic distrust means new international rules to handle Chinese over-capacity and US coercion (which will also capture that of others including China and the EU). This article covers the first and why it is needed. www.hinrichfoundation.com/research/art...

This is part of a bigger story that hasn't had much coverage about the FCDO being cut to ribbons.
Development funding has been slashed but foreign office staff are also being reduced by 20-30%.
The under-16 social media (and VPN, and chatbot) ban is part of a broader policy problem IMV, which is that it is politically easier to talk about e.g. 'child poverty', and you can do a lot of good with that approach, but it has hard limits because ultimately you are also just talking about poverty.

My husband volunteers at St Joseph’s Hospice Bereavement Service in Hackney and he’s running the local Half Marathon to raise a little bit of cash for them. If you can spare something, it’s a very worthy cause: www.justgiving.com/page/mike-wi...

That bit from the end of Muppets Christmas. Carol, where it says and tiny Tim who did not die, but I have changed it. So the subtitles read and President Donald J. Trump who did shit himself on live TV.
