Emily Thornberry, Jess Phillips, Lisa Nandy and Rebecca Long-Bailey stood against Keir Starmer in the 2020 Labour leadership contest.
In 2024 he appointed 11 women to his Cabinet, a record number for a UK government.

As I start Thursday's thread, Ukraine remains under heavy attack.
Day 1541 of the war, as Russia continues its now 24-hour terror campaign.
As most observers feared, the 3-day "ceasefire" just allowed Russia to build up stocks for this scenario.

Saturday morning catch up on podcast listening.
I am left genuinely curious what would make Robert Jenrick be ambitious and think he should be running the country.
I am lots of things, but I am not that. How does a person end up thinking about themselves in those terms?

The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week
But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical

I don't disagree with the sentiment - there certainly is a battle for the soul of the country. But Starmer's handling of the issue has been wrong on so many counts - too little, too slow, ineffective language, no real plan, & worst of all, aping the sentiments/actions of Reform.

UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat
