I'm intimately fascinated by Keir Starmer's conviction that the group of voters most likely to be won over to supporting him, are not the ones who voted Labour in 2024, 2019 or 2017 but the ones who recently called for him to be executed.

We are surely now only 5 minutes away from Wes Streeting having a worm injected into his brain to show that's influenced by RFK Jr.

In the UK it would have ended the entire Tory party, and then 6 months later Morgan McSweeney would insist all Labour MPs had to do the same to stop the rise of Reform.

Performative cruelty didn’t work for the Tories

Performative cruelty was the guiding principle of the last 5 years of Tory government, and look how that ended. So I’m not sure what Mahmood is hoping to achieve here.

I’d try and be controversial and call Shabana Mahmood a fascist, but I think she wants people to say that.

The idea of the expert judge's scores being of secondary importance to a public vote just rubs me up the wrong way tbh.

I know several people IRL who have previously expressed a desire for Denmark’s approach to immigration, and not a single one of them seems won over by this announcement at all.

Also, he comes across really badly here?

If the telegraph ever do a version of this, there’s no chance of it not including Matt Hancock.

If you’re worried about Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister, cheer up, he might be killed by falling masonry on his first day in office.

Can’t wait to see how far to the right they move if the Greens win large numbers of seats.

We always do them in the evening tbh, regardless of when lunch is.

Plan to have it for lunch, take so long cooking it that you end up having it at like 5PM.

Depending on your priorities, Ramsay MacDonald is definitely close competition.
