1. Two thoughts on the AB speech A) Just more — much more — ground traversed with big political arguments than the average leader’s speech. Not just care/pensions, but PR, housing/property, Brexit etc etc B) Almost exactly in tune with the median LP member on nearly all these topics

Just been called “fash” by Green accouts because I think leftwing economic policies are good and we should say so. Therefore apparently I favour immigrants and trans people going “to the wall”. The is a funny website.

Well not really, I’m watching him announce resources to end rough sleeping and the biggest postwar housing program since the postwar era, not delayed till after the next election. Along with a ton of other policies.

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

As the last Chair of LGBT Labour Scotland (now virtually defunct), this analysis is unquestionably correct. The few remaining gay, bi and lesbian (I don’t think we have any trans) members are in utter despair.

Indeed. SS embodies the whole sorry mess, in that hardly anyone in it ever saw Arday as a person. For Cambridge he was a way to buff their credentials, to be discarded when he became embarrassing. For Sodha he was a prop to air grievances about “gender ideology”.

There are few sights more gratuitous and ugly than the British press in a feeding frenzy. Aside from the merits or demerits of the story, you can feel when it’s become more about the bloodsport than the facts.

There has been a converted attempt here (including by the current Home Sec) to promote the "Danish model" of anti-immigrant policy as being somehow consistent with social democratic/progressive values. So we should welcome this mask-off moment from the Danish PM.

I think there's a generational aspect at play here where a lot of the PLP simply don't understand how ingrained social liberalism is within under-40s and that no amount of economic "radicalism", real or otherwise, can compensate for being seen to be reactionary.

The thing about this is trans people have de facto been using spaces of our transitioned gender since the 1950s, and de jure never been banned from doing so. We aren’t banned in any other liberal democracy in the world. So those who advocate it SHOULD have to outline why 2026 UK must be different

For over 20 years trans people have legally shared changing/toilet spaces with people of their own gender, almost entirely without incident. Today they have been humiliated and driven out in a naked act of discrimination by the very bodies created to protect their rights. “Shame” doesn’t cover it
