This. Labour has a chronically shallow talent-pool.
Keir Starmer’s lack of clear successor speaks to “the general lack of talent in the current political class”, says Times Radio’s @afneil.

Quick! Screenshot!
I am deleting this I despair at what our country has become. And it all stems from the #Brexit #Referendum

People mocked @Anna_Soubry and @Otto_English for commenting on the ‘quiet’ after the General Election. But Government is finally running more smoothly without psychodramas and scandals. What is noisy and restive is right wing social media, which can frankly fret all it wants

One step closer to getting that dalmatian coat . . .
An honour to be joining His Majesty’s Government as Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women & Girls. Jess Phillips leaves huge shoes to fill. I look forward to building on her fantastic work in the fight to make the county safer for us all.

Hard to find the right words for what is happening today. Shambles and chaos seem too understated.

Following in the tradition of Pope Pius XII . . .
Pope Leo has awarded the Iranian Regime’s Mohammed Hossein Mokhtari the highest ranking honour the Vatican can bestow on someone. The Knight Grand Cross order of Pope Pius IX. It is the highest honour currently conferred by the Holy See. What on earth.

The challenge for political broadcasting is enormous, and rather satisfying to watch. After years of personality-driven and chaotic, shallow politics coverage across much of the media, which was largely about instability, gossip and leadership crises we now have a govt with massive majority, widespread internal agreement and no likelihood of massive instability anytime soon. A great environment for a programme like #c4news full of policy nerds and people who prefer to argue about what ideas work than who should be the front person.

Nazir does not understand irony.
The Tax Avoiding Rich Leaders of Reform have convinced the poorest people in Britain that it’s other poor people -the young, the sick, the disabled, those on welfare & migrants -who are responsible for why they’re not as Rich as the Tax Avoiding Leaders of Reform #LocalElection

Oh, the West had "standing"? They hated us.
Whatever was left of the "West's" moral standing and credibility was destroyed here, in Gaza. Gaza will be rebuilt, but it will take a Herculean effort to rebuild the standing of the West.

The stabbing took place in Golders Green. British Jews were attacked. This was deliberate, and it is not speculation to be 99% certain about the nature of the attacker, and eh he was shouting as he attacked his victims.
Disturbing reports coming out of Golders Green. As ever, it doesn't help anyone to speculate until more facts are established.

The Prime Minister is a national distraction. Millions of people are struggling to pay the bills, but Boris Johnson and his government are spending the whole time mopping up their own rule-breaking, sleaze and deceit. He’s got to go.
