In 10 recent local by-elections across the country, Labour has only held on to three seats. It has lost four seats to opposition parties and not gained any. The party has not even been in Government for three months. And very low expectations were set prior to the election. 🥀?

"Women succeeding does not hurt men." Just got caught up with Doug Emhoff The Rest Is Politics US interview. He truly models how male partners can support women in their careers and what equal love looks like as both genders become empowered. Worth your time. open.spotify.com/episode/3u5mpd…

It's not okay to ask a woman what bus stop she's getting off at then tell her you are going to follow her home. Two men did this to a woman I was sat by on the bus tonight. It made her feel frightened and upset. We got off and walked together, but shouldn't have to take these

#kaos is one of the most original and well-made shows I've seen in a long time. Greek mythology meets modern reference points. The acting, the soundtrack, the set designs and most importantly the storytelling are all 👌🏻 Watch it and help this show get a second season!

Watched the documentary 'Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again' on BBC iPlayer about what happened at the Nova Music Festival. This should be essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand and formulate a view on the current conflict in the Middle East. It is

Labour says economic growth is its top priority in Government, yet the OBR only forecasts 1.6% growth in 2029 and 1.1% next year. Pretty meagre. #Budget25

As markets, businesses and individuals digest this #Budget, it's become clear that Labour has got the messaging about its purpose wrong. If this had been positioned as a Budget about fairness, designed to correct the historic underfunding of public services and the tax burden

I'm in New York and there is much nervousness but also a great deal of excitement in the air today. I've also never seen this many people I know from all over the world, with varying levels of interest in politics, to be this invested in US elections. This is the most

I'm with the Democrats in New York phone canvassing for Kamala Harris and we have made 2.7 million calls to voters in Pennsylvania today. Let's do this!

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

Only those of us who have fought for our values and lost before can know how hard this moment is. Kamala Harris's concession speech recognised the hope that many young people, women in particular, put in a different vision for their country. I was struck by the energy, optimism

Continuing my travels in the Land of the now less Free 🇺🇸 Manhattan felt subdued yesterday and people wanted to quietly air their feelings about the election. Today, New Yorkers seem more resigned to what's happened and prepared to get on with things. Let's see what DC brings.

A reminder of why it's important to support local, independent journalism. Warren Buffett moved out of his local media investments in 2020, selling 30 dailies plus The Buffalo News to Lee Enterprises. Cuts to local papers followed. Here's what stepped in to fill the void. Now we

Outside The White House earlier, a man doing bike tours stopped to shout "I've waited 4 years for this" then "they stole the election" and called for Biden to go "now". He and another man then jeered excitedly about Trump's visit to start the transition next week. The anger was
