This is so good by David Lammy on why it is the far right that need to integrate and learn what it means to be English. The foreign secretary showing once again that he is one of the most thoughtful and insightful politicians in the country. No wonder he drives right-wingers
This would be a massive loss to BBC Radio 4 Today. Husain is the best presenter they have had for many years. Her interviewing skill far more valuable on Today than reading autocue on the telly. thetimes.co.uk/article/huw-ed…
Spoke to George Eaton for this piece. When it comes to common ground (rather than centre ground) of public opinion - interventionist on economy, authoritarian on law/order & liberal on issues like gay rights - Starmer’s instincts do seem pretty close. newstatesman.com/politics/labou…
Refreshingly honest from Tory ex rail minister & ex Transport Committee chairman Huw Merriman.
Refreshing that The Guardian, which has contributed to the current backlash against people who are trans, has actually spoken to young trans people & their families about the real life impact of banning puberty blockers.
This is excellent from a Transport Secretary Louise Haigh who actually gets it: the multiple benefits for the health, wealth & happiness of the nation of making cycling & walking safer & more pleasant, particularly in towns & cities. theguardian.com/politics/artic…
.Kirstie Allsopp I travelled regularly by train in Europe under 16 and then hitched to improve my languages. Some of my best ever experiences. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have made a complete fool of themselves again. Completely with you on this, Kirstie Allsopp
Thanks BBC Radio 4 Today! We also discussed the partial suspension of arms sales. In my view it’s long overdue (I called for it on 1 April after the WCK aid convoy attack). The Gov’t have used the review process set up by Sunak/Cameron. The assessment seems to have been clear. 1/
