If they were skilled political operators perhaps they wouldn’t be on the backbenches, along with their chief, two years into a Parliament which began with a landslide election win?

You have to hand it to Matt Goodwin, for a politician who has neither held elected office nor acted as a spokesperson for a party in a specific portfolio (sorry, President of Students4Reform doesn't count), he generates an impressive number of news stories.

Imagine being mad that we live in a country in which a former refugee can rise to become Lord Mayor of their city. That makes me proud to be British, if anything.

Students who run societies do so voluntarily. Many have seen the rise of MAGA and decided no thanks. Threatening to defund their university because they won't invite you is hardly "freedom". It's childish bollocks.

There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.

Overdevelopment? Nearly 10,000 people are on a social home waiting list and rents are through the roof. Development must be considerate and future-proofed but to suggest the city is overdeveloped is just ridiculous.

What on earth is this nonsense from a Blue Labour MP? What, you want a policy targeting zero illness, no full time caring responsibilities, no skills mismatches or career breaks and you think we should heavily crack down on migration until we get there? Just not serious policy/politics.

"The actual numbers that matter are the number of people who are economically inactive who are British citizens,” he said.

“Where we want that number to be is zero. I want zero economically inactive British workers. If you can get that as close to zero as possible, then we can talk about how we feel about gaps in our labour market.
