What a week. We've seen the news agenda rescued from the grip of the far-right. We've seen astonishing levels of competence in government communication. And we've seen the outline of a radical policy programme. It's a v.exciting time to be involved in politics iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

Some disparate thoughts on a historic speech

For the first time in two years, we freed ourselves from the far-right’s strangle-hold over the news agenda.

Yeah. So that was the best conference I have ever seen. I never dreamed I would see a prime minister with the bravery to do what he just did.

Anyone who has waded through the social care system for themselves or a loved one will know how meaningful this speech is. It will be a huge challenge - and undoubtedly not be perfect - but the pay-off could be genuinely lifechanging for so many.

if you haven't been through this with an elderly parent yet it's maybe hard to explain why social care reform feels like a big deal but there will be a surprising number of people i suspect feeling quite tearful listening to this

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Burnham: "Homes, water, energy, transport, care, broken up and sold off." "The British right talk about taking back control. Never let them forget they are the ones. That gave it away in the first place."

Managing the death and the following few months after the death of a parent is tough enough without having to lead the country. Huge respect and condolences to Andy Burnham. The stress must be off the scale.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Fairly obviously Delo is giving this big a donation now as a precaution against an amendment being successful. Normally a donor would drip feed cash over years to keep some control.

Govt, politicians, rightwing media… you decided that Brexit meant you needed to exclusively appeal to a stereotypical “red wall”/“left behind” voter who you insisted was anti-immigration because it suited you to pin their disaffection onto immigrants rather than onto you…

Farage should attend a park run, a game of football, a Primary School in Clacton, a Prom concert before he goes all "Broken Britain" The country is NOT broken. It's millions of people, born without Farage's privilege, trying cheerfully trying their best for their families and communities.

At 18m30s, Jukes names several [foreign/impermissible] donors who donate through family members [who could donate]. The names are withheld from the broadcast - but may presumably be given to the relevant regulators/investigators.

The difference between dogs and cats is that dogs do absolutely nothing to mask their clinginess while cats pretend it's just a coincidence they're in the same room as you 99% of the time.

Farage had a fairly easy way to win some of this back – turn up last night, pretend to be in on and enjoying the joke, pose with the comedy candidates, lambast the establishment as so afraid of Reform they didn't even turn up. Instead, he's so tetchy he didn't even turn up himself.

Sky News confirms Essex police haven't advised Nigel Farage not to attend the Clacton by-election result. So starting off his new term as he ended his last one, by lying his face off and showing contempt for his constituents in not attending the election he forced and in which they voted for him. 👍

It’s the Clacton by-election on Thursday. Can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed not seeing Farage and his frothing bile plastered all over the news 24/7 during the campaign period. Enjoying these precious peaceful few hours before, win or lose, he’s everywhere again.

It's becoming an established attack line that Burnham "has no mandate" and "hasn't set out what he'll do". He's not becoming president. He leads the same party that governed yesterday, elected on the same manifesto. His authority comes from Parliament & he'll have to pass his measures through it.
