Without a clearer sense of direction, Labour's doomed. So, by far the best thing that these two could do now would be to stop worrying about how best to become PM if and when Starmer eventually goes and instead think really, really hard about what they would do were they chosen to replace him.

McSweeney goes - but ​​Josh Simons in the frame over targeting journalists Cabinet Office minister hired a PR firm to investigate journalists. His explanation is bewildering - and begs one big question. How can Starmer keep him on?

When he ran Labour Together, Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons hired a PR firm to investigate journalists

After our revelations, and a flurry of news stories, Simons finally gave his side of the story

But it doesn't seem to tally with the facts... 🧵

It went a lot deeper than that. Look to the money men

The End of Morgan McSweeney: Peter Oborne on Keir Starmer's Departing Chief of Staff As McSweeney resigns, we re-publish Peter Oborne’s Byline Times reporting on how Keir Starmer's chief strategist drove Labour towards defeat by the far-right

The Myth of Morgan McSweeney – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition The established press’ focus on supposedly ‘all powerful’ individual advisors often obscures the more important structural issues that come to define politics, writes Adam Bienkov

There's a [tax] 'pragmatist' about!
"the most radical simplification we could recommend would be to exempt the State Pension from tax in our view not a realistic option.[but] one cannot ignore the large hole in the public finances it would create"

Prescient, as ever.....but surely it's time to follow the 'Together' money?

"McSweeney’s .. job [was] electoral strategy, and ...I can see the rationale in mopping up as many voters as possible regardless of how racist or bigoted. But.. the Labour Party [is] “a moral crusade or it is nothing”.

The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

"The economic cost of Brexit is no longer theoretical. It’s measurable, compounding – and devastating. Britain’s fastest-growing, most productive businesses before Brexit became the most damaged afterwards. Brexit punished the very companies that powered growth."

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

So Starmer, a man who never met Epstein but made a bad appointment, might resign. But Trump, his closest friend, fellow sex abuser and coverer-upper of his crimes, is going nowhere.

That’s how it works, isn’t it?

And the long time associate of a convicted kiddie fiddler......

Begonia obliqua And the dreamscapes are the only place I see you now and maybe that's for the best cause even though it hurts the other path would have wound around indefinitely You felt alive for but the moment which passed like our fleeting attunement then proceeded to give me nothing at all three strikes the charm I suppose Incredible the gravity holding us firm and how am I supposed to know myself? These internal walls keeping us both out I see the disassociation kicking in And kindness was my downfall seeing footsteps of the elite and yet unable to follow them for the sake of respecting rights for human dignity Trying to protect my failing sanity against global speak easy undergrounds and emails that confirm it's all intended where most conspiracies are true All in all we're just plastic shaped like terracotta breaking at our fractures selling our time for pockets of peace and foggy Sunday mornings

What? Sorry? Pardon?

The billionaire who prides himself on logistics when it comes to inanimate objects cannot get his own staff, who he has sent off to war zones to report on events around the world, safely home?

WTF.

I’d help support legal action so he can have the pants sued off him
