On 5Live just now… Starmer in opposition: “Law-makers can’t be law-breakers.” Starmer when Prime Minister: appoints a criminal to his cabinet.

Presumably Mike Amesbury, when he released his statement, hoped that the only video out there was the one that didn't show his cowardly assault. A punch like that can, and does, kill people. The charity One Punch UK have already spoken out about his thuggishness. Let's hope Amesbury faces...

The sausages should be released from the factories NOW.

On the most recent episode of The Newsagents podcast (Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall), they asked Wes Streeting about this donation, but he claimed to be unaware of it, so couldn't comment. https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/episodes/7Drmq29/

The new responses to the original tweet, which is still available, hit hard.

I’ve got a Crystal Palace supporter on the phone. Can I put them through to you?

Agreed. I do wonder how many at Conference would be prepared to hold their noses and vote in favour of the policy as it stands, in an attempt to display a united front. It's a fascinating dynamic.

Why do you think they've not changed tack at all? Starmer is a decent bloke who wants to effect positive change. Freezing some of society's poorest isn't the way he goes about things. Do you think it's stubbornness and, having been on the other side of the despatch box, he knows exactly how...

Politics is a lot more than just policies. Anyway, I'm certainly happy to move on, particualrly now Labour's leadership have admitted to being wrong to accept thousands of pounds of free clothes. So, back to policy, can we talk about Sharon Graham, general secretary of Labour-funding union...

You think she should ignore the major talking points of the last few weeks, that have completely dominated all conversation about this government, and has seen Starmer's approval rating plummet into the gutter? Unfortunately for Labour die-hards, the government are currently having to sleep in...

Another govt insider adds: “It’s about how it looks to the public that they’re all rowing over how much Sue gets paid. People had enough of internal warfare with the Tories.”

"Someone in No10 or close to No10 is leaking stories to cause maximum damage to the PM’s most senior staff member. And this isn’t happening a couple of years into the premiership. It’s happening a couple of MONTHS in. And yes it’s important to put this in context – it’s not exactly going to...

He really does a whole library of tweets which aren't aging very well at all.

Whilst Wes "Billy Liar" Streeting is completing victory laps at sorting out the junior doctor strikes, the head of the junior doctors was being interviewed on 5Live this morning. We already know that further strikes are possible in six months time, should the doctors not be granted an...

You've read what Amnesty International (and others like Human Rights Watch) have had to say about Italy's Albania scheme, right? You described it as "interesting". They agree with that, but not in a good way.

It's all harmony and unity.... Starmer reveals that some of the stories are true: “I’m not going to talk behind her back and I’m not going to talk about individual members of staff, whether it’s Sue Gray or any other member of staff. All I can say about the stories is most of them are wildly...
