“Andy Burnham will have a one off opportunity to break out of the impasse that has destroyed the Starmer premiership” @WilliamJHague on why Burham has no choice & must move quickly after #Makerfield

It’s getting harder and harder to argue with the idea Kemi Badenoch is a good leader of the Conservative Party, as long as you ignore questions like “what is the electoral performance of the Tory party under her?”, “where was the Tory party polling when she took over?” and “what is the party for?”
Kemi Badenoch’s just a Lib Dem leader now😲😂
She’s not going to win #GE2029 so the only Q is on deals & coalitions
Hint she’ll allow Reform into No 10 harms her in 🔶🌳seats, she won’t will drive more 🌳🗳️to🩵
Can’t win!

Meanwhile, the post election Q for Lib Dems is getting easier
By making clear they will do anything to keep #Reform out of No 10 they cement support in their 72 seats & add many more
Bottom line:
You can trust @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to keep #NigelFarage out of No 10, not Kemi Badenoch

We’ve been promised the Defence Investment Plan for MONTHS
Flurry of briefing this week that it was imminent - part of Keir Starmer’s legacy
John Healey gets the Plan, it’s not enough (just 0.08% of GDP extra ‘27-30) & resigns 😱

"What would Farage say now" asks Lord Sugar⬇️
Unbelievable that Farage is in contention to win #Makerfield - even be PM - after the disaster of Brexit. 4% GDP hit!
Why is he not held to account? Why is his next fantasy solution not dismissed?

Former Defence Minister Al Carns repeatedly shocked by unbelievable waste at MoD🤯
Does kinda make the Treasury case for going long & slow on the DIP🤔
Alan Clark MP was saying the same THIRTY FIVE years ago!

Assisted Dying is back as a Private Members Bill, after Lauren Edward's success in the ballot, but though her Bill will be the same as Kim Leadbeater's there’s uncertainty as to whether the Parliament Acts would apply

“Since social media is banned, I’m off to do some brass rubbing and then go for a walk”
Matt wonders if we can turn the clock back? Will the social media ban for under 16’s work?

In the weapons V welfare debate @pollytoynbee.bsky.social wonders why the right never ask about the pension triple lock (the big DWP💰escalator) or defence procurement waste, just cuts which will push children & the poor deeper into poverty
