Guess what I got based on this screenshot

The problem is Mr. Burnham, by bigging up the UAE & how positive they've been for Manchester, you may well have already affected the process. As PM you have real power!

They're constantly telling us what they think of us across the Atlantic

Also the Tories: "Why does nobody under the age of 65 vote for us? It must be woke university indoctrination!"

It's called having class, history and culture. I wouldn't expect understanding

I listened to Ed Davey on the Today programme this morning, and frankly, I think he missed the point. The idea that we're keeping the triple lock to help millennials is at best for the birds, and at worst downright insulting. I say that as a millennial.

Do Americans realise most liberal democracies have solved this issue by… not killing our own citizens?

Why could Macron be so insistent about pensions reform I wonder

Properly funding social care is pretty much this fwiw

Davey just has to go. Potentialling gaining/keeping an extra ten seats is not worth the calamity that would follow once again entering government/propping up a government that you haven't prepared your voters for

"One of the things I am most annoyed about is that Starmer didn’t take the opportunity of [x]" really just sums up his government and time as leader

There's crisis comms and then there's crisis comms. Fair play to the City admin for just posting through it I suppose.

Polanski’s “tax the rich” is the same as Badenoch’s “cut benefits”, a one-size-fits-all funding source that appeals to their prejudice but would never generate anything like the money they claim, and prevents them ever having to engage with serious politics

Seems to be a cross-Europe view that bringing back manufacturing jobs will defeat the populists. Pity there's no evidence that you can or that it would work.

I don’t think: ‘we are bound by our current manifesto so things are going to be tough for a few years but don’t worry, if you vote for us again things will get better but also taxes will rise’ is a good political strategy.

Releasing the five people arrested by the airbase on bail after 24 hours is so weird, would be fantastic if it turns out they were just up to no good on an unrelated minor jape and accidentally created an international security story.
