And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

NEC will open nominations for new leader on July 9th - after the Nato summit. If there are no other candidates, you can expect Burnham to be in Number 10 by the following week.

In 2024 a NATO report found: "Kremlin-backed actors have been found to be pushing climate change denialism across the Alliance, all while actively attempting to derail climate change mitigation policies & renewable energy investment." Remember this when you listen to those attacking climate action.

Have some longer thoughts on the Blair intervention, but big challenge for him is, fairly or not, the public aren't particularly inclined to want govt to listen. When we asked about which ex-PMs (and podcasting MPs) govt should listen to he got lowest 'worth listening to' of any ex PM bar Truss.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Trump has apparently decided that being linked to a sex-trafficker and being accused of rape, while bad enough to make him want to start a war to distract from it, is not as bad as being seen as a genocidal maniac and so he has decided, via his wife, to change the subject back to the former scandal.
