We still remember when Labour in opposition (quite rightly) criticised Suella Braverman for political interference in the operational decision-making of the Metropolitan Police. It seems Morgan McSweeny and Keir Starmer’s memories aren’t quite as long as ours…

So, the 'Special Tribunal' so beloved of extremist British governments of the past, when they can't get juries to do their bidding either by cajoling or threats, has finally made it to the 21st Century. That didn't' take long. Well done the 'liberal' centralists.

"The economy" & "the fiscal rules" are not "things" that we're bound to obey or the country collapses": they're simply made-up from political choices that politicians choose to keep secret.

REFORM really haven’t got a clue about running Kent County Council. Or any other…..

Lobbing high balls into a box generally filled with 8 white shirts and a keeper seems a bit futile at this point?

Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if our great and fundamentally tolerant and decent country could actually elect as its Prime Minister a Jewish, gay, highly intelligent, charismatic politician who happens to take the view that Israel’s genocide is morally reprehensible?
