Andy Beckett & Melissa Benn: Can the Left Save Labour? Tickets, Thu 17 Jul 2025 at 19:00 | Eventbrite eventbrite.co.uk/e/andy-beckett…

Not too late - for the government to listen to its own backbenchers - NOR to nab final tickets for this discussion….

Thames Water is going to end up nationalised. Always been the case. But how much better it would have been to do this deliberately, with a plan, rather than scrabbling around as the govt will now end up doing?

On my LBC Show 7pm What to do about Thames Water after buyer pulls out? 8pm Cross Question with Tom Hayes MP, Melissa Benn, Sir Alec Shelbrooke MP, Poppy Coburn 9pm Should we all get up earlier?

Melissa Benn Didn't watch all of Cross Talk,but your point at end about needing to grow up,stop treating politics like consumer choice needed said! Reality is much more complex with many factors impacting policy creation & implementation, before we even get to the tricky aspect of funding. 👍

So I did this LBC panel discussion tonight. Was something of an outlier in terms of my views on most subjects, but I kept going!

Great line from Rachel Reeves about Farage supporting Liz Truss’s budget!.

Totally agree!
