I’m petty sure that Farage and Reform are going to carry on heading down in the polls. Friday’s by-election result is likely to harm him whatever. Even winning will look and sound ludicrous.

And Tom Chadbon gone, one of the best things about one of the best Doctor Who stories. "That's a spaceship!" Interviewed him way back when and was lucky enough to have him in one of my audios playing a dotty time scientist. Lovely fella and did good work.
Tom Chadbon as Duggan.

We are currently Prime Minister-less. That mystical space between that cannot be defined. Merlin used to distract the populace at times like this with some magic. Dragons and beasts, battling for our attention while arrangements were made in the background for a smooth transition of power.

Chris Mason, BBC I get very excited about by-elections. So much so that my mum cuts down my sugar intake in the run up to them. This is the most important by-election in my lunchtime. In fact I’d go as far as to say this is the most important by-election since the last one. Etc etc. Night.

The idea that the UK needs to spend many millions of pounds extra on defence is never challenged. Suggest extra money for anything else and the media plus the Tories shriek in horror.

The PM thinks it’s his business to decide what protests are allowed and which should be banned I find that disgusting. The continuing rowing back on democratic rights should worry us all.

Remember when Iranian protesters were being leveraged to manufacture consent for this war? Now, Trump calls all Iranians "animals" and says he will bomb the country "into the Stone Age."

An example of Douglas Camfield's attention to detail, in 1965 writing quite a tall order for avant-garde composer Tristram Cary. It includes one of the earliest character sketches of Katarina. Also a nice early instance of the serial's overarching title. #DoctorWho

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

The state must now back down and end the ban on Palestine Action. The continuing proscription is an abuse of freedom of expression and assembly

It’s a good job MPs are two sword lengths apart in the Commons. I thought Starmer was about to butcher Ed Davey in PMQs. I don’t think I’ve seen him so angry.

I can believe that Keir Starmer isn’t resigning. I’m not sure I believe that he’s concentrating on the job in hand.

Not just the media. I think it was the Labour Party hierarchy itself. And that’s what led to Starmer bringing him back to the fold - the purge of the left is absolutely linked to Mandelson being trusted by McSweeny and Starmer.

I listened to Steve Reed on Radio 4 this morning defending the indefensible and then Starmer himself waxing his untenables all over the shop. The only thing he should have been saying this morning is “I quit”.

I’m afraid it might be. There isn’t any obvious successor or they might have tried getting rid of him already. But Streeting seems the most likely.

I didn’t know he was a jazz guitarist. It’s funny because the seminar teacher we had following his lectures was a jazz pianist. What the hell was going on at London Guildhall Uni in the mid 90s?

He basically asked us if he’d gone too far but actually we thought he was right. But I mainly remember the brilliant lectures and it’s given me a life long interest in political philosophy.

Jon Bigger @drjonbigger.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
He took me and a fellow student for a drink once following a public disagreement with another academic. He wanted reassurance. He was warning about the rise of the far right in Eastern Europe and the other academic told him to ‘get real’. Glasman responded with ‘you get real’ and it all got silly.

Jon Bigger @drjonbigger.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
This is incredibly interesting. I was taught political philosophy by Glasman in the mid 90s. It was London Guildhall Uni rather than City Poly by then. His life since then is astonishing and he certainly seems to have taken a few turns.

Much though I have enjoyed all of my many trips to the USA over forty or so years I have realised that I cannot go there any more until there is what we might call ‘regime change’ Like Iran they are killing their own citizens. Tragic
