The chipping away at citizenship, which started with Shamima Begum, is utterly poisonous. Anytime now, Restore will support the removal of citizenship on the basis of race or religion.

I see Jenrick/Reform are grabbing headlines and airtime before their latest nasty little idea has had any scrutiny or reality check. Wall to wall coverage will follow. Before the inevitable conclusion that it’s yet more cruel, unworkable and ludicrously costly bullshit. Let’s stop doing this.

If you live in Charente or western Limousin I would recommend this exhibition. In an exquisite venue.
Le Vieux Presbytère stands beside the Church in Sauvagnac 16310 Charente. The exhibition is from 1 August to 5 September Friday to Sunday 15 to 19h. Or by appointment out of those hours by telephoning Annette and Jürgen Meineke on 0049 160 94 98 11 35

What we “need” Sheila, or Frank, or whoever you are… is a media that reports and informs, and most importantly, holds politicians to account for their lies, their failures, their racism and their rule-breaking. What we “need” is a crackdown on disinformation and corruption. Not your simplistic tripe

Vox pops on #r4today from Reform voters in Runcorn is not news. It’s fire-hosing the audience with the abject ignorance and cultish stupidity of a small minority, spouting their bullshit notions of why it’s ok for Farage to corrupt his arse off and lie to them. “We need Reform”. Do we hell.

Keir Starmer, 'I didn’t enter politics to be Prime Minister'. But Andy Burnham did. He's just proved he did by ambushing Keir Starmer in such an appalling manner. A debacle so distasteful that some of us no longer feel we can support Labour.

I need to say this again because I'm still so angry. Why is nobody in the PLP or our 2nd rate media questioning the integrity of 2 elected Labour politicians standing down to facilitate the ousting of the first Labour Prime Minister in 14 long, hard years. In my world it's shameful and shabby.

He made mistakes, he listened, he revised and produced better policies. As any leader does and should. But nothing he did was wrong per se. What he got wrong was placing trust where it wasn’t deserved. Obvs this is only my view and I’m not speaking for anyone else.

The main gripe from the Starmer critics is well he hasn't done this or that. They have an amazing ability to brush aside all the positives (see attached) because there's one or two things they don't like. How amazing it must be to be them living in a world where your every wish is fulfilled.

Holding onto a Labour seat isn't an achievement. An achievement is taking Labour from the worst defeat in living memory to the steps of number 10 in just 4 years. The man who did that was Keir Starmer not Andy Burnham. The shabby shenanigans by Burnham and Simons shames the party.

I am glad Andy Burnham has won his seat, but appalled that he should abandon his job in Manchester to do so. That a colleague stood down to allow him to do so shows the presence of a significant organisation supporting his ambitions.

Years ago, too long ago for me to remember the programme, there was a short discussion on the BBC Radio 4 about abolishing the monarchy. One speaker advocated a presidency, at which a monarchist retorted "we could end up with Roy Hattersley" I remember thinking," Yes, that would be good" RIP Roy

A Tory peer has just told Today that "We need to get back to a form of policing that is more colour-blind". When was that, precisely? The idea that we *used* to live in a colour-blind society, until minorities got special privileges, goes against *everything* we know of the history of policing.
