"Never be cruel. Never be cowardly. Remember hate is always foolish. Love is always wise. Always try to be nice. But never fail to be kind." #DoctorWho #DrWho

#SETHAMY: i love you so much

Interesting speech and change of emphasis from Reeves. Getting ahead of criticism on fiscal rules. Tone is now staunchly Brownite rather than Osbornite. Return to Labour emphasis on investment vs cuts. Question is whether that washes when day to day spending is so tight.

❗ Labour GAIN from SNP Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election result: LAB: 31.5% (-2.0) SNP: 29.4% (-16.8) REF: 26.2% (+26.2) CON: 6.0% (-11.5) GRN: 2.6% (+2.6) +/- 2021

Obsessed with the way the kids talk about former British prime minister Gordon brown on tiktok

When you’re in a new fandom and suddenly get woken up like a sleeper agent

Maximum aura

People will found a new party instead of going to therapy

Kinda mad that the best Doctor, showrunner and Master are all Scottish.

Worth noting Labour bringing back Sure Start should be getting more headlines. A brilliant Blair-era policy scrapped by successive govts. It gave kids the best start in life, backed by evidence, and its removal hit families hard. Good to see it return. Credit where it’s due.

Hope. #Superman

Champions! Congratulations Lionesses — what a team. What a game. What drama. You dug deep when it mattered most and you’ve made the nation proud. History makers.

For the Guardian, I explored the weird and wonderful world of New Labour edits, a subculture on TikTok of teenagers making ironic montages of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and the rest of the crew — set to Charli xcx, Chappell Roan, or Taylor Swift songs.  theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Hope.

Absolutely brilliant chat with Sadiq Khan on The Political Party this afternoon. He was on mega form. Podcast out soon…
