Senior Labour figures tell Keir Starmer to stop making mistakes Prime minister faces criticism from Emily Thornberry, who highlights risk of β€˜handing country to Farage’

Senior Labour figures tell Keir Starmer to stop making mistakes.

Two child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, PFI, not nationalising water, deregulating finance, further privatisation of the NHS, chasing Reform narratives aren't "mistakes". They are wrong policies.

Need policy reset.

Went to jog a few laps of Thornbury Park. Got frustrated my phone wouldn't play through my ear phones.
Realised my ear phones were in my house.

I'm 60 next week...

I don't really see whether gaining or losing weight or definition would change the music I like, the art and work I enjoy or who/what I find attractive.

Since I got the convertible the commute is my favourite part of work.
The vanilla is the label on the air freshener, not a description of me.

Visited a family member in hospital in Cardiff today.
Offered the staff some scones, jam and cream. I'd brought loads.

Broad accented lady said only if I had a knife. Asked her to repeat her comment and realised she was actually saying only if I had enough !

But over 29% say they would vote Reform, which was Farage's only contribution, with economic damage.
So what are the proReform, regret-Brexit people motivated by?
Is it to stop the boats we didn't have before Brexit?
Sooner we give 16yearolds the vote the better. They don't read the Express.

Our perfectly reliable car hasn't turned a wheel since the sporty convertible arrived on Monday. If it was conscious and had a blue-sky account it would be empathising.
But it will still be wanted when the sporty sheen wears off.

Not sure if the abbreviation means apparently or appalling but both work.

First time in quite a while I've felt proud of our government, getting on the right side of history.
