Have been a bit frustrated by some of the conversation about Labour's voter coalition. I've written about who the "Hero Voters" actually were, how we won them, and what we need to do to earn their support next time. chriscurtismk.substack.com/p/who-actual...

Who actually were the Hero Voters?
Labour won in 2024 because of economically insecure voters, not social conservatism.

The statements that the two Labour Deputy Leader candidates have shared with the Labour Animal Welfare Society are disappointing because neither of them mention if they have pets, or whether they are cat or dog people. Sad. 🐈 🐕

Antisemitism has been ‘allowed to grow’ in UK, says Jewish security group
Head of policy at Community Security Trust calls Saturday’s planned protest against ban on Palestine Action ‘self absorbed and insensitive’ Antisemitism has been “allowed to grow” by politicians and across wider society, the main Jewish security group has said in the aftermath of the attack on a Manchester synagogue, which left three people dead. Speaking ahead of planned pro-Palestine marches on Saturday, Dave Rich, head of policy at the Community Security Trust said it was “remarkably self absorbed and insensitive” for people to attend a silent vigil for Gaza after Thursday’s attack.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.
