@RevolutApp is the heavy Perspex block in which you ship a metal credit card for some reason, recyclable in domestic collection? I’m honestly not sure what to do with it!

Podcasters, commenters: I know you’re rightly excited, but the correct past participle is ‘crowned’, not ‘coronated’. Okay, as you were!

Here's a significant new Tory scandal, a hit job on Keir Starmer which somehow contrived to draw in an indirect attack on Jewish faith.

(Long tweet. It is necessary to cover the scandal in full. Please expand to see the whole thing.)

They are attacking him for saying that he would "clock off work at 6pm if he became Prime Minister".

They also said "You deserve better than a part-time Prime Minister."

There are two big problems with this.

Problem number one: That's not what he said. The Tories are quoting selectively out of context, like a film poster which reads "spectacular effects" when the original review said "spectacular failure, with lacklustre effects".

It was only ever about Friday evenings, not every day.

Here's what Keir Starmer actually said:

-- transcript starts --
Keir Starmer: We have had a strategy in place and we will try and keep to it, and that it is to carve out really protected time for the kids. And so on a Friday - I have been doing this for years - I will not do a work-related thing after 6 o'clock - pretty well come-what-may.
Chris Evans: Regardless?
Keir Starmer: Yeh. Now there are a few exceptions but that's what we do. My son goes kick-boxing and so I often take him there. My daughter goes swimming and cheer-leading now, so I have been to see her in cheer-leading competitions.
Chris Evans: So you're going to ringfence that time?
Keir Starmer: Yeh. And I want to. One, because I am a dad and I love them. They're my pride and joy and I don't want to lose that time. Two, I don't believe in the theory that you are a better decision-maker if you don't allow yourself the space to be a dad and to have fun for your kids. Actually, it helps me. It takes me away from the pressure. It relaxes me. I think actually, it's not only want I want to do as a dad, it is better.

Problem number two: There is also an essential and important faith element to the story.

Keir Starmer has been completely up front about carving out time on Friday evenings to participate in his wife and family's Shabbat dinners. This is something he has repeatedly talked about, for many years, for example in this Jewish Chronicle story of July 2023.

So the Tory attack was not only in bad faith (forgive the pun) but it could also be taken as a slight on Keir Starmer's family's choice of religious practices.

And yet it's not just the official Conservative Twitter account putting the boot in. (Tweet linked below, with screenshot in case they make it go away.) Individual Tory MPs are at it too.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, let's reaffirm the world’s collective responsibility in assisting & welcoming refugees, in upholding their human rights - including the right to seek asylum - and ultimately, in resolving conflicts so that those forced from their communities can return home.
