Falling asleep after 90 mins on LCI of wannabe French presidential candidates including Socialist Party gen sec Olivier Faure, André Glucksmann, Ségolène Royal mainly on what people earn - not enough. No new thoughts, language, inspiration, no policy on immigration. @axellelemaire.bsky.social

Good that Burnham called out Russia. Shame that BBC R4 didn’t have Nigel Farage on as he has over many years echoed Russian ideological goals in the West

Early 1940 Chamberlain fired only Jew in his cabinet - War Secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha. Top general said MInister could not work with useless C-in-C Lord Gort as latter was “a great gentleman” while Minister was "an obscure charlatan political Jewboy.”

On C4 News Angela Rayner andTomTugendhat link hands and agree with each other they see no problem with crypto currency traders giving many millions to parties to get political influence. On most of Europe democracy pays for democracy. Does Burnham want to be PM of sleaze?

No he came to power because of divisions on left with communists in politics and unions blindly following Stalin or Trotsky regarding social democracy as main enemy. That far left/green hate of reformist socialism is as strong as ever and a gift to today’s extreme nationalist right

Neat comparison by FraserNelson between Reform and SNP. Dodgy finances, dodgy leader (Salmond=Farage) , could win seats but never effective state power but the true believers in the two nationalisms - Scottish and English - refused to give up leader worship.

Yes MPs who don’t get promotion they desire think MP who does isn’t up to job. Healey worked as PPS then minister under G Brown so learnt trade from one of more successful CXs in recent ties. Healey also lives in manufacturing northern UK in a town badly hurt by Tory anti industry ideology. A voir
