Which way Labour man?

Genuinely, genuinely, f***ing embarrassing stuff.

I was thinking of this…

Did Titiana McGrath die in vain?

Yeah, the contest is already over, this seems peevish and pathetic.

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

Must read on how deaths from extreme heat/climate crisis are being hidden from public view in the US. It’s killing you, but you’re not allowed to know about it. Excellent work by my colleague @ninalakhani.bsky.social

Clowns.

Brilliant.

'History will remember who showed up': Prince William to attend COP30 Prince of Wales confirms attendance at Belém Climate Summit in move that aims to help galvanise talks

Prince William is going to COP30, but will Keir Starmer follow? www.businessgreen.com/news/4520213...

Amazing scenes.

The comms are comically dreadful.

lol, absolutely get to fuck.

Not sure I agree with that. Badenoch is just a buffoon. Jenrick is toxic and dangerous.

A brilliant piece on what the UK's Climate Change Act does, why it's inspired action around the world, and how the Tories were key to creating it - despite their current leader now wanting to destroy it

FACTCHECK: What the Climate Change Act actually means for the UK – and what is a load of old nonsense

Really enjoyed putting this together with colleagues, inc learning new things about the fascinating backstory to the Act

Insightful and nuanced piece here from @williamcb.bsky.social analysing Big Tech's relationship to UK (and specifically Labour) politics, and citing Anneliese Dodds's recent Rita Hinden Memorial Lecture as the first sign of a political fightback

I think he was a die-hard Tory - from his widow's amazing book - Ian £voted Conservative as he always would do. He argued that as his wife I had to vote the same way, otherwise I would cancel his vote!"

I don't think that's true though. The 2024 Labour intake has many great MPs. Problem is the leadership and McSweeney blocking talent.

It’s just not analogous to Johnson’s purge.

Yeah. Tom Watson, notorious Corbynite.

When did Corbyn expel MPs?

What conspiracy theory are we running on Friday night's show, lads? Something about Keir Starmer hiding illegal immigrants on his donkey farm?

This was all foretold at the wretched Uxbridge by-election, when Starmer stated that if your opponents could put your policy on their leaflets (Ulez), you were bad at politics. I’ve not checked , but I’m guessing that never arguing for anything you actually believe in is working out fine?

Bravo.

As cleverer people than me have pointed out, this is the direct result of researchers and hacks stewing their brains in X/Twitter 7 hours a day.

Get. Off. Twitter.

I mean, the Tories still support triple lock and complained about cuts to WFA. The alleged fiscal discipline is a crock of shit.

Has any party collapsed in as spectacular a fashion as the Tories? From “natural party of government” to… whatever this farce is? Cleverly was their last chance.

Journalists need paying, ffs.
