Everything is shit right now. Here hoping
Really want Burnham and Streeting to articulate their principles, priorities and policies and have their different approaches challenged by serious journalists. Let’s get this choice right

Hate hearing about the salami slicing at BBC. Will miss The World Tonight and Crossing Continents

🇬🇧 British Political Spectrum Quiz says I’m a *One Nation Moderate* which in these times makes me a deeply unfashionable centrist. Was surprised to score relatively high on ‘authoritarian’ and ‘hawkish’ tho. Maybe I’m a badass at heart, who knew?!

Wes Streeting seems most sensible on the economy which will make him ‘a worm’ to Labour Left but safest pick for bond markets. He’s done a decent job on NHS and he’s a great communicator. He’s the best bet for UK

If only Starmer had the clout to convince Labour MPs that spending must be squeezed so Gov borrowing gets cheaper which will release money for national transformation they all want

The worm has turned
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive.

when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Starmer still has no policy ideas. I listen to him being a decent guy but still think “give me solutions not problems”
May 11, 2026 at 10:10 AM
Labour’s problem is not just Starmer, Reeves is equally slow & tin-eared. If Starmer & Reeves aligned & focused 100% on growth it would ease national pain-then Labour Gov could afford progressive policies in second term. Labour MPs need to be disciplined & pragmatic. None of this will happen

Dismayed to hear of more huge cuts at BBC. It’s a great institution that had its legs cut at the knee by Tories while being punched round the head by US media giants. Will Labour fumble this too or will they sort funding and give Beeb a chance to resuscitate?

What a bloody mess. Are we really going to get another UKPM - that would be 8 in less than 9 years?

The Tories are still banging on about Rwanda & immigration on the news. It’s such a switch off. I just don’t care about it in the same way I care about greening up the economy & sorting out NHS.

Now is not the right time for an inquiry. Now is not the right time. Now is not the time. It was a while ago, I can’t remember. I don’t recall.

Seems Conservative activists (who are almost exclusively Boomers) don’t like Conservatives. They want far-right fantasists and grifters who will lead their party into electoral oblivion 🤷🏼‍♀️ Rishi Sunak’s approval rating hits new low with Tory members

I've done fact-checking during several conflicts. Never have I seen one where so much disinformation is posted with the direct intent of dehumanising real victims of war on both sides.

Dead or injured women and children, civilians, hostages, prisoners; no-one is being spared.

Stories coming out from released hostages are heartbreaking. Many kids coming out not knowing their parents were killed on Oct 7, reports of violence from captors towards some teenagers. Still so many families hoping for good news
