If the setting was grand, a wood-panelled state room in the heart of Number 10, the arrival was not. Keir Starmer simply walked from another room to the lectern, without an announcement or entourage, & after a quick smile, began speaking to the assembled reporters www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

The Lib Dems have won the last parliamentary seat, Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire. MP Angus MacDonald has a 2k majority over the SNP. It’s a totemic seat for the Lib Dems, the seat (mainly) of former party leader Charles Kennedy. The LDs now have 6 in Scotland, pushing the Tories into 4th place

You’ve all seen this but I’m still marvelling at it. No Tory seats in Central London and environs. One Independent (Corbyn) several Lib Dem in South West, the rest Labour.

The previous government wanted to breach international law. The current appointed an expert in international law to the cabinet. Starmer installs non-political ministers in ‘government of all the talents’ www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

Were the UK seriously thinking about supporting the French in their suppression of an anti-colonialist revolution by the mid-60s? Mid-50s might still be an attempt to hold onto the remains of their own empire, but Wilson wasn't PM until 1964.

A couple of high profile prosecutions, convictions, and imprisonment of politicians and bankers would be a good start.

Starmer has already been in touch with the Independent Advisor on Standards to make it a key part of his government. Dodgy dealings and blatant corruption will be a thing of the past. (My words).

What would Barabbas do?

Yes, but some credit to Wilson for supporting the idea. It's still an output of his government. A very enlightened government.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

The Vallance and Timpson appointments are a very strong signal that the “People have had enough of experts” era is over.

For clarity: Many people voted tactically. So to assume Labour, LibDems and Greens weren't part of an unofficial anti-Tory coalition is wrong. Labour should remember this when it comes to policy consultations in parliament. They do not represent a popular majority alone.

If for any reason Joe Biden can't complete a 2nd term, we know who will take over. Her name is Kamala Harris and America already voted for her once. If Donald Trump can't complete a 2nd term, we have no idea who will take over because he TRIED TO HAVE HIS LAST VP MURDERED.
