“I think he should carry on, I think he can carry on - I don’t know whether he will.” Former Labour advisor and Starmer biographer @tombaldwin66.bsky.social on whether, after the Mandelson vetting scandal, Starmer will lead Labour into the next election.

"Nigel Farage and the architects of Brexit have had a free pass - Labour should have been more aggressive and consistent in pointing out the lies." As campaigning kicks off for the Makerfield by-election, will voters be ‘bewildered’ to hear Brexit back in the debate?

Mandelson failed security vetting. Starmer, once again, says he had no idea. “It either makes him look like a gullible fool or he’s lying”. “That trick, that excuse that I was misled, works once. There's diminishing returns every time you invoke it”.

“Yesterday Trump was, even by his own standards, the most rambling, downbeat and punctured I've seen him in years.” Is calling the Iran war 'very much complete' - moments after oil prices spiked - Trump beginning to panic that his war has backfired?

"You have an American defence secretary with his hair slicked back, with his suit far too small, bragging that he's instructed his own soldiers to commit a war crime." "Turns out the world's favourite frat boy is actually a fascist."

Is Labour planning to use Brexit as a “get out of jail free card”? “For the Labour Party to start saying, 'lets revert back to the status quo ante' - that to me reveals a dearth of thinking.”

"Undoubtedly, fractures are appearing. They're saying, 'Putting boots on the ground? In Iran? Are you mad?'" Is Israel backing away from Trump as he sends US troops toward Iran - and where's JD Vance in all this?

Tony Blair says he is “anxious” and “pessimistic” about Labour's future. “There’s no point in deciding who leads the country on the basis of personality unless you understand our purpose in governing”.

“Farage said Brexit will make you richer - lo and behold, it did make one person much richer!” Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he received was given as a “reward” for campaigning for Brexit - but we thought it was for security...

“One of the problems they’ve had is not pinning Brexit onto Farage and Reform strongly or often enough - it’s a schoolboy error” Emily and Lewis say the “strongest” part of Starmer’s speech was attacking Farage - but you “can’t fatten the pig on market day”.

California & the White House do not share the same values, especially when it comes to feeding our kids. This SNAP/CalFresh disruption wasn’t unavoidable. The administration has the funds to prevent it. This is an intentionally manufactured hunger crisis, & American families are paying the price.
