Keir Starmer urged to quickly fix ‘broken’ EU settlement scheme - www.theguardian.com/politics/art... "They want the government to provide reliable documentation to EU citizens to enable them to prove beyond doubt ... that they have full rights guaranteed under the WA."

Keir Starmer urged to quickly fix ‘broken’ EU settlement schemewww.theguardian.com Organisations including the3million write to PM calling for action to avoid a repeat of Windrush scandal

Keir Starmer is hosting a summit of the European Political Community (EPC) on 18 June. Around 50 leaders from around the continent will gather at Blenheim Palace with Sir Keir already saying he wants a closer relationship with Europe. Small steps.

WTAF?

Starmer knows he has a mountain to climb, but that's not bad for one week: Lifted the ban on onshore wind, Met with NHS bosses to work towards creating more appointments, Restarted teacher recruitment schemes, Implemented "emergency measures" to fix the justice system, Scrapped the Rwanda scheme

Ian Dunt has summarised well, the dire position the justice system is in after the Tories effectively trashed it.

Update on proxy postal vote failures: Libdems are pressing for data about the national picture with the Electoral Commission, who are conducting research on this, although they've not said how this will be shared Libdems should have some initial analysis to share from their survey later this week

France elections: 'Absolute shock' as far-right National Rally falls to third in French election exit poll. The French have seen sense in the end. 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Left coalition comes first, Macron's party 2nd.

Hi Mark @chadbourn.bsky.social I will be interested to discover the numbers affected and what action is being taken in view of the large number of people affected by the failure to receive postal ballot papers. I made a formal complaint and have been promised a response by my council by 18 July.

Oh what joy of even half of this comes to pass ...

Starmer's government Day 1 A proper news conference. PM answering questions. The adults are back. Previously, Johnson hid in a fridge.

Turned on SkyNews. All they want to talk about is who is likely to want to run the has-been Tories. Yesterday's news, yesterday's party. Goodbye. Turned off SkyNews.

Jeremy Hunt rules himself out of Tory leadership race. So, the Tory Party is destined to remain a right-wing rat-fest squabbling with Farage's nut-jobs.

At the close of Day 1 of the new Labour government I am relieved to see a team of well qualified professionals take charge after 14 years of bungling incompetents, charlatans and clowns.

'Will of the people' Remember him? Nice to finally see him once again having his say? 😊

How fresh, the smell of new-mown Tories. 😀

Congratulations to the electorate of North East Somerset Mogg out!

The icing on the cake Jacob Rees-Mogg has been sent back to the 18th century.

Penny Mordant gone

David T C Davis seems to have admitted defeat.

Lowest number of Tory seats since....1900

There you have it. A Labour landslide

Interesting stats from the Guardian: An estimated 10million people registered for a postal vote this year, up 20% on 2019 Data from HoC shows “turnout” of postal voters is exceptionally high, at more than 83% in the past 4 elections, representing 20% of the total number of valid votes cast.
