A so-so speech soared when the PM went for Farage. The start of a fightback, or too little, too late? Watch @jamesrball.com on Keir Starmer's speech plus read the full story online πŸ‘‡

They don’t want power. They just want to be able to stand on the sidelines and shout in protest. β€˜Your Party’ is just a protest group. If they ever got in a position of power, they’d be like rabbits in headlights.

In a month of lows, tonight's Newsnight was a new one. I felt very sorry for @davidfrum.bsky.social trying to explain the first amendment to a panel, incredibly, trying to both-sides a Trump administration nakedly, explicitly, and on-record blackmailing media companies into silence. WTAF
