Keir Starmer says that one of his "greatest achievements" was scrapping the two-child benefit cap...
...after he kicked seven of his own MPs out of the Labour Party for suggesting it.
Only Starmer could count an unaffordable u-turn as one of his greatest achievements
@PaulEmbery Maybe, but I can also see the anti-Farage vote coming out in sufficient numbers for ‘it’ to take the seat. Farage may well end up looking ridiculous.
Andy Burnham’s smug sermon on Gaza is a disgrace. He is throwing Israel under the bus to try to win back Muslim voters and the Israel-hating middle classes. Abandoning the Jewish State for fleeting electoral again? It’s despicable, says Brendan O’Neill

Presumably the full book will be thrown at the rioters last night?
Doors kicked in… Overtime in courts… Downing Street press conference… etc
Any moment now
@vicderbyshire All true, but the distinction not an economic one. Is it not a non-conformist intellectual rejection of the status quo? I’m not sure his wealth is relevant other than to his opponents on the left. I can’t see that his supporters care.
No byelection is "fake" or a "game" or a "gimmick", regardless of the circumstances in which it was called. A byelection is always a chance for parties to make their case and have their candidate returned as an MP. To refuse to engage with that process because you don't like the manner in which the election came about is to show contempt for the democratic process.
Eli Sharabi was held underground by Hamas for 700+ days after they slaughtered his wife & kids. He told the UN this:
"NO ONE in Gaza helped me. I was treated worse than animals. The civilians saw us suffering and they cheered.... They were involved."
Don't look away. Share🙏
Ok let’s be very clear … Labour wants to decide what is misinformation and disinformation. So they can ensure you only read the news they approve of.
Er … the threat to democracy is them!
Saying quiet bit out loud: controlling the narrative now an avowed policy. But isn't it also a sign of weakness if only way legacy broadcasters like BBC can retain its audience is by government mandated compelled speech? This poisoned chalice will undermine not increase trust.
Possibly, as Minister for Health, James Murray could compel the adult gender clinics to hand over the data they refused to give to Cass. We might then find out just how much benefit these interventions confer long term, without needing to perform experiments on children too young to give meaningful consent.
Read the testimony of the ever-expanding numbers of detransitioners. Grasp that these young people, many of them extremely vulnerable - autistic, care-experienced, abuse survivors, same-sex attracted in unsupportive families - have been irreparably harmed, left with their fertility destroyed, unending medical complications and profound psychological damage.
This is a medical scandal of epic proportions and people of power and influence are still too frightened of trans activists and trans lobby groups to do the right thing and put an end to the insanity. Kids are being sacrificed to ideology and cowardice.

‘Before Brexit, there were hundreds of decisions made in Brussels that we could only rubber-stamp. Time after time, I said, “I don’t agree. This is a mistake.” I was told it was EU law and there was nothing we could do. That was fundamentally wrong’
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
