I predict that very shortly the UK press will start pushing for a General Election based on either the new PM being unelected or a change of direction not being part of the manifesto. Gold standard prediction this one unlike my other predictions which can be shite.

Has Streeting already seen off Burnham? Burnham can't say jack about Brexit given the Brexit bias in northern constituencies. It's a position many of the cabinet are in. But worse for Burnham who has to set a position for a by-election. I had written Wesley off, but he clearly is an operator

The indecision of the two Labour candidates is precisely what is wrong with Starmer. If you think Brexit was a catastrophe, check the polling, take a side and SAY you are going to rejoin. If you believe in PR, SAY it and promise a referendum. Pick a side of the argument, accept voting reality.

"A second referendum on EU membership would be audacious, risky, and guaranteed to dominate the campaign. It would also give Labour something it desperately lacks: a defining, future-shaping offer."

Scientists on Survival @scientistsonsurviv.bsky.social · 29/04/2025
“We are scientists and we are freaking out!” A new short documentary, ‘Plan Z’, follows those who’ve turned to drastic measures to warn the public about climate change, risking a criminal record and their professional reputations. 1/4
Film poster for ‘Plan Z: From lab coats to handcuffs’, certificate PG. Banner: “Why are scientists breaking the law for climate change?” Five scientists dressed in white lab coats and badges “New oil & gas = death” stare into camera.

This clickbait poll on Khan's knighthood was at 85/15, now it's down again to 73/27. Set them straight. Link does not artificially inflate Express's traffic figures. You can scroll down to see the results; no need to enter an email. xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

A superb letter to the Question Time production team. We will look back and realise, far too late, just how dangerous the bias was.
