Mogg’s “freedom to own your own house” is never contrasted, in Mogg’s mind, by other people’s “freedom to never live in a proper house”.

As a side note to this: The best thing that Andy Burnham’s Labour Party can do right now is reach out to both Ed Davey and Zack Polanski. Whether he needs them for a coalition after the next GE or not, now is the time to get both the Lib Dems and Greens on board - especially around care.

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.

Voters can respond, as they did when Thatcher was PM, to a leader willing to take tough decisions in the short term that seem to have a pay off in the long term. If Burnham can combine his likeability with her toughness--not an easy trick to pull off--then Labour has at least a chance of reelection.

I think you would be very surprised what becomes possible if the UK decides that it wants to negotiate in good faith at last. The EU is not our enemy and they know it's in everyone's best interests to have us on board if we are serious about it. We do not hold all the cards, but we do hold some.

It's a special kind of stupid who thinks live streaming yourself trying to sink a boat with a person on board won't get you arrested. Even more stupid to think you won't be remanded in custody because you have previous convictions involving use of a knife.

Amateur hour: even if you hate the proposal, you surely join the commission, play spoiler, and engineer a reason to walk out that makes the government bad or factional (insist on including party finance reforms Labour would hate, etc) Just saying "no" outright is surely what Burnham *wanted*.

I thought he spoke well but IMHO it was a good rather than great conference speech which impressed his supporters. They haven’t worked out how they are going to deliver some of it let alone fund it. I want him to succeed but his next speech must be an announcement of what has been achieved.

I’m really pleased that people are responding so well to a better presented version of the Labour manifesto, but Jesus, the tedium of hearing‘isn’t Andy wonderful & wasn’t Kier incompetent’ from people failing to recognise that all he’s done is repackage SKS’s work with a few BJesque promises!

The pension triple lock is out, and a National Social Care service is planned. What I once thought was a do-not-touch subject was manhandled by Andy Burnham - but will the risk pay off? After a very optimistic, being honest, brilliantly delivered speech, is there a bit of room for hope again?

Trading the Triple Lock for a National Care Service

A bold, brave and deeply unpopular choice, and why someone who spent years stuck on discharge calls is cautiously on board.

Anecdotally, my own parents (fully reliant on state pensions but reasonably well off) aren't at all concerned about the triple lock so long as it keeps up with inflation. They're far more worried about what services will be available when their health begins to decline.

Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

Thanks Lewis. At least ten years too late like, but better late than never.

Much of the electorate has no memory at all of the politics of that era. They do have sharp memories of what we have had recently. And many conclude anything might be better.
