When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur.

Jeremy Corbyn here appearing on a podcast hosted by an Assad apologist who denies he used chemical weapons on children.

This is a rather remarkable act of solidarity towards a country still governed by the same regime that supported Assad as he bombed their hospitals, ambulances and paramedics, at a time when they already have so few resources to spare.

The far-left’s mantra “always money for warfare not welfare” is simply an absurd thing to say when you look at the actual numbers, which of course they never do.

Sir John Major throws shade on the new prime minister in waiting. "Mr Burnham has had great success, I'm told, with buses," he says. "A little different from dealing with Xi, Putin, Trump, Macron, Merz."

Yes, but two Arab countries that are not NATO members also took part. Moreover, it happened at the request of the Libyans themselves; Gaddafi was on the verge of wiping Benghazi off the map. I was in Benghazi 2 weeks and every night they backed for an international intervention!

@sophgaston Burham knows little about foreign affairs & will be completely exposed on the World stage, reducing UK's global influence.

Another change of PM also calls into question how much effort other leaders will invest in Britain - which will have domestic & economic consequences too.

[Sophia Gaston @sophgaston]

“Prioritising domestic over foreign policy”. 🙄You know who else wanted to do that? Sir Keir Starmer. And, by the way, every single British PM for the past decade. We’d be a more effective country if PMs accepted the geopolitical reality and delegated to strong domestic teams.

This is tremendous. Harsh but terrific. 🫡👏

Progressive leaders need to seize the mic during these heatwaves and speak to the public about why this kind of thing is happening.

[Shashank Joshi @shashj]

Our leader on Burnham. "A change of leader is the best moment to confront voters with the unwelcome reality that they are living beyond their means. Even as Britain faces demands to spend more on defence and infrastructure, the bond markets have put the Treasury on watch. The country has the highest borrowing costs of any member of the G7." https://t.co/M3UxX5eGBX

Wind down with beautiful sights of Syria, away from the destruction brought by 14 years of war and from the neglect and deprivation of 60 years of Baathism and Assadism.

'The pattern is familiar. In fragmented, polarised systems, anger concentrates not on extremists, whose intentions are clear, but on moderates, who disappoint maximalists on all sides. The centre becomes the lightning rod precisely because it resists totalising narratives.' Damian has a point here.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Martin Wolf: “Labour does not believe incentives really matter. They do. Labour does not believe that higher spending means higher taxes. It does. Burnham himself seems to think that government intervention will easily accelerate growth. It will not” https://t.co/w1J2xnL3ts

@sophgaston I expect any PM to understand the geopolitical threats we face, and to have something insightful to say about how we respond.

Burham has no foreign policy experience, let alone knowledge of foreign affairs.

I'm starting to regret voting Labour in 2024 now.

[Alex Fisher @fishforalex]

@AlistairCarns I expect any PM to deeply understand the geopolitical reality and threats we face, and has something insightful to say about how we respond.

Burham has no foreign policy experience, and is a woefully inadequate choice in this regard.

This is not what I voted for in 2024.

Starmer's biggest domestic achievement is actually the way in which he stripped Corbynism, antisemitism, and its other toxic manifestations from the Labour Party. He worked ruthlessly and efficiently. A deed for which we should all be grateful.
