UK should not back a war that boosts Vladimir Putin Rising energy prices inadvertently strengthen Russia and weaken incumbent European governments

'!f you want to create the conditions for a chaotic and unpredictable reordering of our party system, “the governing party is in office during a sharp price shock that the opposition loudly supported the causes of” feels like a pretty good way to do that.' 👏 @stephenkb.bsky.social

YouTube video by Sky News Is the Iran war the worst thing that can happen to the global economy?

🎥IRAN WAR PRIMER
Six days on from the start of this war, what have we learnt about the economic consequences?
Here's our latest primer. 10 mins. Longer than usual. But a lot to cover in this one 👇 youtu.be/Mv7n3gqOWyI?...

This a political move aimed at the US surely, but the LNG price has jumped again. The crazy thing is that the price settled Tuesday to Thurs??

FA cup? Wasn't it 3 nil? They put on Kane and Delli Ali at half time.

Tory 2019 manifesto was just bolded vibes, showing what you could get away with, helped by the Labour alternative with more policies than words.

America in the hips, Canada in the body as they say in North America

lol

LOLOL

I wonder whether today at the Spring Statement, or at the budget Rachel Reeves will signal drop or tweak the unfreezing of fuel duty if the rise in oil prices continues?

Silly silly, very silly

hahahahahahhaha

At least the soundtrack would be decent. Made of stone

Starmer wants to be Macron. He risks becoming Hollande. And why Conservative/Reform shrieking about the rise of "sectarianism" rings hollow

I've been saying this, pick your poison from Europe: France, Germany or Italy.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

there’s always loads of jokes after by-elections where people are like “this by-election proves everything i already thought”

problem is this one actually definitely does for me, total vindication for my personal views, i am floating on a cloud of “told you so”, I’m insufferable

Heartbreaking: Morgan McSweeney just prepared a lengthy briefing on why this means Labour should move to the right, before remembering he no longer gets to deliver it.

That might stick

If Labour campaigners and leadership keep belittling the Green Party as a movement and underestimating the skills of Green leaders then Labour is heading straight to electoral oblivion.

Stop refighting past factional wars within your own party and start adapting to new realities.

It is concerning that basically no politician is talking about AI and the economy other than Peter Kyle/ black t shirt/ growth woo

We need a nuanced policy conversation

why does Jeremy Corbyn, a man who clearly does not enjoy leading political parties, keep running political parties

Is there a way of regulating this though? At the moment it is indiscretion followed by fine, but by then the crime has occurred and said leaflet is in someone's letter box?

Don't forget those lovely immigration figs too, will next week adjust for those correctly?

Do these people think they're normal. Do you want to be the happiness police? The quote from the family of the deceased was also really, just nice?

Reform’s Danny Kruger criticises UK’s ‘totally unregulated sexual economy’ Former Conservative laments divorce changes and says Reform UK will pursue policies to boost birthrate

Welcome to the freak show

Do you want Danny Kruger in your bedroom?

I'm sorry but if he's been up to this, what about Matt Faulding, some on the NEC etc with connections to Mcsweeney/ Mandy?

"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"

Might be controversial on here but I think to the average person she is saying exactly what most people are thinking and seems quite genuine. The technicalities of the repayment threshold will be dwarfed by the sight of the interest rate.
