Labour justice minister destroys Robert Jenrick for the Tories complete and utter failure in our prisons across their 14 years in office.

Very well said @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social - a brilliant Labour junior minister.

I would re-direct people to this episode which explains the selective misapplication of the "Monroe Doctrine" and how this ahistorical appeal to some glorious past feeds MAGA psychology.

He's right to focus on the single market rather than a customs union.

Bloomberg's @rosaprince.bsky.social says unpicking Brexit "could be a vote winner for Starmer" and "more importantly, on the policy side, what he really needs is to deliver growth. So, if any of this can lead to an economic uptick, then it should be something he should consider." ~AA

Chinese Foreign Ministry: “The US move is in clear violation of international law, basic norms in international relations, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

“China calls on the US to…stop toppling the government of Venezuela and resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation.”

Excellent. I fully expect to see an increase in the solution of baffling murder cases.
“This year there was a net increase of about 90 shops in the UK selling significant numbers of second-hand books, taking the overall total to about 1,375, probably the highest number there has ever been.”

I can't imagine why people would feel gloomy when people like Farage and others in Reform, spend all day every day telling them that London is a no-go area under Sharia law, free speech is illegal and that every problem they have is caused by immigrants.

If anyone thinks Nigel Farage is the answer, they haven't understood the question!

Fartrage & Tice say the minimum wage is “too high” – especially for youngsters. They want employers' NI contributions cut instead.

£1 in the pocket of the low-waged gets invested in the local economy. I don't know anyone on minimum wage who stashes their cash offshore to evade UK taxes. Do you?

The previous government met ONE of their pledges
56 Labour 2024 Manifesto Pledges delivered, on track or in progress.

In 18 months Labour are delivering for ordinary people.

This is how Labour have spent the last 18 months. Laying the foundations to their 10 year plan to improve our Country. Making it safer, wealthier and more tolerant. A toast to Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. More of this in 2026!!
