An underrated point by Starmer and one which strikes me as authentic: There are debates that are genuinely difficult to tread. Politicians will not always get it right but their motives matter. Whether mistakes flow from a wish to be kind or from performative cruelty matters. ~AA

There are worrying parallels with Boris Yeltsin’s faltering campaign for president in 1996, where his severe health problems were covered up in fear of the Communist alternative. That helped set Putin on a path to power all in the name of ‘saving democracy’.

Chris Mason, "How would governance look if you are prime minister by the weekend?" Keir Starmer, "There would be a mindset change on day one because I plan to return politics to service" "We've had far too much self entitlement over the past 14 years with the Conservatives..

We didn't have parties to "boost morale". We didn't have quiz nights. We didn't have champagne. We watched our colleagues die. We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands. These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office. Use your vote. Vote.

Kamala Harris - 'Before I was a senator I was an attorney general and a prosecutor. In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. I know Donald Trump's type'

Another long day in the company of enraged halfwits, convinced by far-right Twitter memes that the UK’s tradition of free speech is imperilled by *CHECKS NOTES* people being prosecuted for public violence, and inciting violence, under laws that have been used daily for decades.

America needs to learn the terrifying lesson of the British riots. This was Musk’s trial balloon for the US election. The prospect of political violence is real. And Musk’s behaviour is a warning shot of what’s to come. My piece for The Observer theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is riveting. Shocking but not really surprising. How unlikely is it really that the U.K. hasn’t been similarly targeted? ‘Among the types of influencers listed as possible collaborators are actors, politicians, media representatives, activists, and clergymen’

Given news from over the pond, this James O'Brien interview with Jessica Simor KC needs revisiting. Brexit IS an offensive on our democracy, freedoms and way of life. We need an urgent inquiry into why the Tories allowed Britain to be pawns in Russian game.

Why did Huw Edwards avoid prison? Is this evidence of “two-tier justice”? Let’s take a quick look. 🧵 TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE. Just as: Leaving the EU took away YOUR freedom of movement SO: Leaving the ECHR will take away YOUR human rights Do not get fooled by Nigel Farage and his very dangerous narrative.
