Huge respect for Caroline Lucas this week, repeatedly standing up to antisemitic entryism while remaining staunchly critical of Israel and the government's failures on that front. You can see why she used to be leader

I also got prey in the steam sale but struggled to get into it. I might give it another try.

My weekly reading of the funeral notices in the Dewsbury Reporter and another family requesting mourners to wear the colours of Leeds United. A football club isn't just about football. It's about identity, shared experiences and belonging to a community. #lufc

I'm sorry if this is obvious but the Tory proposal to exempt family homes completely from IHT will lead to 1] pensioners buying the biggest houses they possibly can 2] pensioners refusing to downsize which can only be bad news for younger families trying to buy family homes

So far as I am concerned, if you’re born in England you should be considered English. Do we need a campaign?

Badenoch thinks voters have the memory of a goldfish with a particularly short attention span. We remember 2010 - 2024. #CPC26

One thing the the discourse about whether £100,000 is a lot of money to live on (it is, let me stop you there) has shown me is that lot of a rich people have no idea just how rich they are compared with their fellow citizens.

Am I being unfair to think kemi and the tory party have not done any of the 5 things? Though to be fair I am not probably a voter they would target.

You made a really important point that not everyone in the media has grasped. Until it's resolved it undermines the current season including the matches coming up this weekend. Regardless of how we see seasons in the past or what will happen in the future.

Do you really believe this? Because for a long time tory mps and conservative media have lived in their own reality. Has anyone taken responsibility for the mess they left? Brexit, truss, partygate etc etc. Or do you all still have your heads stuck in the sand?

Klopp is a pretty unique figure. I wonder who would be a Scottish equivalent. Charismatic, experienced, a long track record of success. It would be hard to find anyone of that ilk.

What strikes me is not just the mediocre performance of kemi badenoch as leader but a sizeable chunk of the tory party are not trying to find a new leader. At one point in the recent past a ruthless Conservative party would have judged her inadequate and changed her for someone else at this point.

I am sure there is another telegraph headline where camilla tominey says words to the effect "whisper it but sunak is making a comeback" just before the tories imploded at the general election.

I'll remember Esther Rantzen for an interview printed in a magazine I read in the dentist's. She was talking about grief and loneliness after the death of her husband. Her comment that she had plenty of people to do something with but now had no-one to do nothing with struck me as really profound.

But none of these newspapers have been impartial objective observers for a long time now. These are the kind of headlines I would have expected them to make. Labour needs to do what they think is right because they will never get the support of these newspapers.

It's bad for city. But I don't think it puts the Premier league or English football in a good light either. It's not a good look how long they were able to get away with it.

Every private conversation in Westminster: "Well the triple lock obviously has to go at some point". Every commentator on Burnham: "completely mad to propose getting rid of triple lock - political suicide".

This is what concerns me about not just Burnham but many in labour. They tell us what they plan to do knowing it will be popular with parts of their base/support then further down the line they ditch their plans. It has happened too often. They lack the courage to take these difficult decisions.

If I never hear from Sharon Graham, ever again, it will be several months too soon. She is typical of the intellectual dishonesty plaguing this country, which demands radical change, but objects to anything actually changing.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

I am still very pessimistic about this happening. How many times have things like this been promised and then ditched further down the line? Its a recurring issue.

This is the fundamental difference between Labour and the right. The latter craves power and relishes using it. Labour is terrified of it because of an imposter syndrome rooted in the belief - shared by the right - that England is a right wing country which sometimes allows Labour to govern.
