When it comes to the Labour leadership, Healey v. Benn has a nice 80s retro feel to it. But it is Burnham’s to lose.

John Healey is a good guy. First met him decades ago. His resignation demonstrates that Keir Starmer can’t match words with deeds, and does not know what leadership needs.

As Elon Musk gutted USAID last year, he managed to accidentally cancel Ebola prevention programmes. Donald Trump also withdrew the US from the World Health Organization in January and has slashed funding for the CDC, America's leading public health agency.

One thing to add - the impact the election defeat will have on Welsh Labour’s infrastructure. Before the election, there were around 100 Welsh Labour staffers in the Senedd, plus Labour SpAds in the Government. That will be down to about 30 post-election. open.substack.com/pub/ukania/p...

The future of Welsh Labour probably depends on actions which happen in Westminster. The choice facing MPs isn’t straightforward. But doing nothing at all would be catastrophic. open.substack.com/pub/ukania/p...

This is now becoming faintly ridiculous. How many times can someone 'take responsibility' for appalling outcomes while facing no consequences for them? 'Neither left nor right' might make sense if we knew direction we're headed in. Which we don't. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
