The interesting dynamic of Andy #Burnham going for a Westminster seat is that the potential electorate would see him as a successful mayor regardless of party. Potentially a personal vote that might give #labour an edge in a by-election.

#trump national security strategy identifies that USA’s main adversary is Europe. Not Russia or China.
It’s almost impossible to think of any US administration since World War Two coming up with that.

The new #yourparty has voted for “collective leadership” by 52% to 48%
It seems that ratio re-emerges with regularity. Possibly with the same chaotic results. A ratio without a supermajority to sustain it.

#bbcqt had Matt Goodwin on. A right wing presenter from Reform friendly #gbnews
Goodwin decided that every problem in the uk was really immigration. Everything could be solved by deporting brown people.
This odious view was at least challenged by the audience. The BBC allow this racism.

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

The word “reset” now joins “taking back control” and “reform” as both meaningful and meaningless.
After an EU reset we have a government reset. The substance seems far less than the headline.
