This claim that Labour is no different from the last government needs to be challenged every time. Gone are the days of austerity, Brexit division, unfunded mini-budgets, useless illegal Rwanda scheme and NHS cuts. Instead there's a mission to rebuild our country.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.
At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term

I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Their extremely negative and dismissive attitude to everything.
Their permanent misery in every comment.
Their eagerness to complain without first finding out the facts.
