Yelling "stop the boats!" as I charge in to rob this NatWest at gun point so that I can later call the Home Secretary as a character witness and the BBC will spend two weeks telling all my potential future jurors how legitimate my concerns were.

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

If I was still a young worker getting the bus to my job in retail, I could save £2 every working day. That £2 would have mostly been banked, but sometimes would have gone towards getting myself a little treat at lunchtime. These are the little things that make life worth living.

Andy's reshuffle looked a lot like something that hadn't really been thought through at all. I'm really pleased to see people like Reeves, Jones and Reed gone, and there are a couple of great appointments like Reynolds back and Fahnbulleh in. But other than that, it's difficult to see the point.

This shows why sacking Darren Jones was a no brainer. Promoted way beyond his very limited abilities. Now he thinks that a slam dunk is saying "bad luck loser! One of our flagship policies was unfunded the whole time!"

The important thing is that there's a very clear sense to everyone in the civil service and government as to what the guy is trying to do across a few different areas. We have not had that in many years.

Rather than attacking Andy Burnham for having no mandate and calling for a General Election, Reform have instead decided that actually in a by-election, one constituency can be the judge on a national issue. Ok then

The speech genuinely made me a bit sad because he *still* has not got that the job of the prime minister is not to spend five years talking about the next election. He never realised he was not leader of the opposition and now he never will.

Labour won 4/5 of the last by-elections when they were the opposition party leading in the polls. They were apparently never popular wanted by the country. Reform have won 1/5 by-elections when they are the opposition party leading in the polls. They are apparently popular and unstoppable.

The social media ban is THE example of everything stupid about Starmerism. Expending political capital on a doomed policy, which is unlikely to happen and wont work as intended even if it does.

The saga over this plan and this sorry conclusion is going to be *the* case study of why Starmer failed as PM.

Keir Starmer's plan to "say anything to get elected and worry about it later" seems to have led to quite a lot of worrying about it later. The kind of commitment he promised on defence costs an incredible amount of money, which it transpires is hard to find. So he just decided not to find it.

The people turning up in balaclavas intent on attacking others are not protestors, they are ethnonationalist terrorists and they should be treated as such. In what world is someone holding a "Palestine Action" banner a terrorist but not people burning down homes?

The grifters and billionaires stoking unrest are partly motivated by a belief that the non straight white men of the US and UK have got too big for their boots. Equality was getting too close Rather than: "obviously they haven't" our government seems to say "they have a little bit, haven't they?"

Demonstrations sometimes turn violent but if you’re turning up in a balaclava specifically to burn houses and throw paving stones at the police are you really a “demonstrator” or “protester” or are you something else?

There's a massive group of people who spend infinitely more time on Facebook, X and GB News than they do actually out there in the real world. They believe with sincerity that parts of the country are basically a warzone without ever actually going to look. Little is done to convince them otherwise

Excellent analysis. It's important to understand WHY Blair is saying these things - and for whose benefit 🧐

Tony Blair has written a very long essay about Labour. He has written it via his Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) because he is concerned. He is concerned, he says, about the Labour Party and the country and is just trying to be helpful.
