I just saw the news about Agnes Slocombe passing. Serving West Hendon alongside Agnes was a tremendous honour. She taught me what proper public service looked like. A passionate and practicing Christian, she turned her values into action with every act. A powerhouse and trailblazer. Very very sad.

Make no mistake. This defection is a power play to be the heir apparent to Corbyn, and trying to force Corbyn to play along because JC hates conflict, but can never make a decision.

Adam Langleben @adamlangleben.bsky.social · 03/07/2025
The far left internal battles have come, gone and come again. But always the same since 2015. On the hard left, it's the battle of who speaks for JC. Because he isn't the sharpest tool. If JC is the glue, then whoever controls him, controls the left. Bouncing him into co-leading is a power play.

Any deal that reduces red tape and makes people feel that little bit better off is a better deal than we have now. The Prime Minister is right to go for a closer relationship with the EU. This government will be judged in the end on living standards, and improving this must be the top priority.

Worthwhile day on the doorsteps in my home patch of Barnet yesterday. Barnet is London's bellweather borough on the country and Whetstone is Barnet's Pennsylvania. Very important win with one eye on the London elections next year. Whetstone used to be the heart of a super safe Tory ward. No longer!

Results so far just reconfirmed 2024 GE result. No such thing as a safe seat for any party. We have to work for every vote, everywhere. The public are (rightly) ery impatient. But can you read much into the results that we didn't already know? I don't think so.

A surprising admission from an unnamed Tory MP in ConHome yesterday. When they took over in 2010, poverty mainly centred around older people (not right of course). Now it's working age people in poverty, including people in work.

Very sad news that former Director of the Labour Party Mike Creighton passed away last night. I didn't know Mike well, but when the call went out for people who knew of antisemitism cases that were covered up, he was one of the first to volunteer what he knew to the EHRC. A man of huge integrity.
