Terrific appointment. Can't understand why this political genius, this electoral svengali, this Machiavellian mastermind was ever let go tbh

« La ville des rois morts et du peuple vivant, ce sont les mots que vous avez prononcĂ©s, Bally Bagayoko, le soir de votre Ă©lection. Cette phrase est d’une vĂ©ritĂ© inouĂŻe, Ă  la fois politique et poĂ©tique. Elle unit le passĂ© et le prĂ©sent, mais le "et" oppose aussi. Le temps des rois Ă©tait celui des privilĂšges par la naissance. C’était celui des femmes, propriĂ©tĂ© absolue des hommes. C’était le siĂšcle oĂč Jean-Jacques Rousseau Ă©crivait : "l’homme est nĂ© libre et partout il est dans les fers". En 2026, dire que le peuple est vivant, c’est refuser une vision figĂ©e de la nation. C’est affirmer le visage prĂ©sent de la France, de la nouvelle France. » Annie Ernaux, au meeting de Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon Ă  Saint-Denis. #JLMSaintDenis #Melenchon2027

Un jeune homme est mort il y a deux jours suite Ă  une agression homophobe. Il passait dans la rue Ă  Metz dans la nuit. Une bande l'a agressĂ© avec des injures homophobes. Il a fait un trauma crĂąnien et il est mort de ses blessures. À l'inverse de Deranque, il n'Ă©tait pas nĂ©onazi. Les grandes consciences mĂ©diatiques restent concentrĂ©es sur les lendemains de foot. Le jeune homme assassinĂ© par des brutes aura-t-il droit Ă  une minute de silence Ă  l’AssemblĂ©e ?

“My relationship with my club began the same way it does for most football fans: before I was old enough to understand what I was getting myself into. When I was nine, my uncle introduced me to a team with a cannon on its shirt, a grizzled captain named Tony Adams, and players like Nwankwo Kanu who had been born in Africa but now lived somewhere else, just like me. Arsenal felt familiar before I even understood why. “And then there was the manager, a man who I initially thought had been named after the club and then believed that somehow the club must have been named after him. Arsene Wenger may have struggled with his raincoat, but rarely with his orchestra. The football his teams played sang. “But what was once the nostalgia of the past has become the beauty of the present. “We won. We are champions of England. And we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe too.” @ZohranKMamdani, mayor of New York City, writes for The Athletic on what Arsenal means to him. FREE READ 🔗 nyti.ms/4u5iZdB

This really is tone deaf stuff from Blair. The extreme, neoliberal, centre is what’s led to a cost of living crisis, food banks and wider decline in our country, and why people across this country are rejecting it outright. It’s his brand of politics that’s led us to an utterly broken country. It’s crystal clear Tony Blair does not care about the lives of working class people.* And, this intervention definitely does not speak on their behalf He speaks for the billionaire class, vested interests and the status quo with the aim of protecting their wealth and power, much like his great friend Peter Mandelson. His institute are bankrolled by big tech and corporate interests, not the 99% struggling through austerity, insecurity and inequality. They don’t represent ordinary communities nor possess the answers to the problems facing the country in 2026. Time to bow out Tony you have done enough damage.

Some people on the Left, for many years: The last half century of economic liberalisation, privatisation, outsourcing etc. has left Britain over-financialised, regionally imbalanced, exposed to global shocks, with reduced state capacity & with a labour market defined by precarity low productivity. We should reverse this by strengthening collective bargaining, and via big public investment in infrastructure, critical industries, and by reversing the denationalisation of national assets/natural monopolies that are currently structured to benefit rentier capital. Sensibles: LITERALLY NOBODY HAS A DIAGNOSIS OF OUR PROBLEMS. LITERALLY NOBODY IS OFFERING ANY ANALYSIS. LITERALLY NOBODY HAS A CLUE WHY NOTHING WORKS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. BUT WOW TONY BLAIR SAID AI IS BIG AND LOW GROWTH IS A PROBLEM AND WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE 1990S, EXCEPT WITH MORE ORACLE SOFTWARE PLZ.

Tony Blair: Wow, get a load of AI. We should probably cut welfare somewhat. Also, we should be involved in the Iran War for some reason. Broadsheet columnist: Say what you like about the man, but the sophistication of his analysis is unparalleled.

Tony Blair has condemned someone else's "almost infinite capacity for self-delusion"
NEW: Tony Blair has accused Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting of putting Labour’s future at risk by abandoning the centre ground. In highly unusual intervention for a past PM, he warns the party’s “almost infinite capacity for self-delusion” means it is likely to lose the next election. In a scathing 5,700-word attack, Blair argued for government to crack down on welfare spending, abandon restrictions on oil & gas and smooth relations with Donald Trump 👇 theguardian.com/politics/202

At the last National Policy Forum before GE24, Left delegates proposed committing Labour to reverse Tory cuts to SureStart. Starmer's cabinet rejected the policy. Wes and his right-wing friends didn't care about SureStart then. It's all a game to these ghouls.
EXCL: Wes Streeting pledges to bring back Sure Start as he eyes Labour leadership In an in-depth interview, Streeting lifts the lid on Brexit, Reform and what he said to Keir Starmer in their 16-minute showdown mirror.co.uk/news/politics/s

It's an absurd & contradictory mess, but then again this was never about anything logical. It was about driving trans people out of public life. The EHRC is a toxic bonfire. Along with the Labour Government and the right-wing press, they are an active force for bigotry.
So... The Times obtained a version of the original EHRC guidance submitted to the govt last year (that story from Nov here: thetimes.com/uk/politics/art
) and it's interesting to compare and contrast with the final version published today. I've been deep into the docs and here is what I've spotted, although I'm sure I've missed some...

In Britain the Equality & Human Rights Commission attacks equality & human rights
Excl: Trans people can be questioned over their biological sex and ultimately banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look, statutory guidance submitted to ministers says. The Times has been leaked the final EHRC guidance submitted to the govt almost three months ago. It says that questions can be raised over a person’s biological sex based on how their physical appearance, their behaviour, or concerns from others. Questions must be handled sensitively. If there are still doubts over whether someone is telling the truth, those running services must take into account “relevant factors” and can still choose to exclude them if they believe it is necessary. The guidance also drops a suggestion from the draft document that people could be asked to produce documents to prove their sex. It says “there is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex” because people can change their sex on passports and driving licences without the need for a gender recognition certificate. thetimes.com/article/82eecc4

I have tabled an EDM to congratulate Arsenal for winning the Premier League after 22 years. Big thank you to all the staff behind the scenes: cleaners, coaches, caterers and all the faces we don’t know or see. The Premier League belongs to you all! edm.parliament.uk/early-day-

This tracks. I was at the Emirates on Tuesday night and there were so many chants backing Keir Starmer. I'm sure if he'd been there he'd have been carried aloft by adoring fans.
Bumped into some senior Labour MPs at an event tonight. Speak of a PM that is “bullish” and “determined to carry on serving his country.” One adds “the football result last night hasn’t done him any harm either,”
