Found out about this one from the Labour press release condemning it, and it was a real trip to learn that this wasn’t “a Labour staffer with a tape recorder at a private event” story but a “she just said it on national TV” story.

Labour’s new deputy leader says party must pay more heed to its members
Exclusive: Lucy Powell, who was sacked as Commons leader by Starmer in September, says government should stop trying to ‘out-Reform Reform’ Labour’s new deputy leader, Lucy Powell, has said the government must listen to its members instead of being guided by a “narrow group of voices” as it battles to stave off electoral disaster in next May’s local elections. Powell defeated the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, in the deputy leadership contest, which concluded on Saturday. She said she had been given “a clear mandate that members want their voice to be heard at the top of the party”. Continue reading...

On the other website, Republicans have glommed on to Reagan's brief mention of retaliatory measures against Japanese semiconductor manufacturers, as evidence that the ad "selectively quoted" him and that he would have supported Trump's tariff policy and right to set tariffs unilaterally.

why are people on the left using "populist" in a positive way now, you shouldn't want your politicians to be populists, "populism" isn't good

Good that Labour thinking about broad taxes. If you're gonna slap 1p on income tax, you might as well whack 2.5p on it. Same amount of rage, but much more cash

Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.

What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.

Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:
Tory deportation plan would upend Britain
Proposing such a radical bill with little public support is a gift to Nigel Farage

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

It's genuinely crackers that in the UK, a social media company can *take advertising money from a fraudster*, the bank has to repay the victim out of its pocket, and the social media company doesn't even have to give the advertising cash to the bank! They make money on the transaction!

This on the next page (p. 49) should be interpreted to mean that few unis will offer the whole range of subjects. Arts and Humanities will be clustered inside the rich and powerful Russell Group, while mid- to lower-ranking providers will be forced back towards Poly status. (3/?)

I've long cut Starmer a lot of slack for that reason, but the fact is that we are heading for disaster at the moment. We are in the high teens in the opinion polls, 70% of people disapprove of our leader and we've just been pulverised in a seat that we've held for a century.

Yeah and the swastika is an ancient Indian symbol, but that doesn't mean we just ignore the previous 100 years' worth of meaning around its use.

I honestly think that trying to legislate what was in Platner's heart and what/when he understood is a trap. It doesn't matter to me.

It's actually okay to just go, "man I'd love to believe you've changed but I'm going to need to see proof of it in a place with lower stakes than the US Senate"

Labour's changes to family reunification routes are pure, unmitigated, cruelty.
They will trap people in unsafe countries, deny people the ability to be with spouses and children, and increase the use of irregular routes. An abhorrent policy by any reasonable measure.

The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

It's getting to the point where part of me hopes that the budget is a fiasco, so that he can be ejected early, because this isn't sustainable for Labour.
