I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

How should a national commission on electoral reform be designed?
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister announced a national commission on electoral reform. In this article originally published in the Conversation UK, Alan Renwick explains that such a body should secure public involvement, not aim for a particular result and listen to the experts. He also emphasises that any change to the electoral system should be carried out with the greatest possible care.

Well that makes it all a bit clearer. Iran finally admit they are targeting merchant sailors in the Strait of Hormuz to prove the USA has no control of it. So seafarers are expendable pawns to them? I keep saying they are a brutal regime. But there needs to be an end other than war.

Polanski’s “tax the rich” is the same as Badenoch’s “cut benefits”, a one-size-fits-all funding source that appeals to their prejudice but would never generate anything like the money they claim, and prevents them ever having to engage with serious politics

Three separate incidents all being reported by UKMTO - which all occurred sometime int he last 24 hours. A tanker, a crude oil tanker and an LNG tanker all reported hit in the Strait of Hormuz! This is the greatest number of attacks in 24 hours in months and may derail all talks happening.

There's something about a great Scouse orator that has the ability to carry an audience like few others and #Burnham just used his to full effect. All the gravitas of a Starmer but delivered in a way you actually want to listen to. Emotion, charm too but most of all, winning content #Labour
