Sadly I can't join you this morning but I'll be mentally playing the Xylaphone for Keir Starmer

Increasingly of the view that Starmer is a great Foreign Secretary, but a poor Prime Minister. What say #PoliticalFix

It would be great if you, @greenmirandahere.bsky.social & @georgewparker.bsky.social could cover this on #PoliticalFix

Although #PoliticalFix was overtaken by events the analysis was good. Douglas Alexander has been in my 'Buy' slot since he got back to Westminster & I agree re Angela Rayner. Still think Rachel & Yvette will be swapped.

Robert followed thru' on his own advice. He didn't take on #PoliticalFix when @georgewparker.bsky.social went away, making @greenmirandahere.bsky.social do it. Luckily she shone with help of @pickardje.bsky.social, @stephenkb.bsky.social & @chrisgiles.ft.com

@robertshrimsley.bsky.social Enjoyed #PoliticalFix as always. Re British, I'd say anyone born in UK of GB & NI is British. I'd say I was English as all my ancestors alive, in 1851, were born in England but some of the surnames indicate I've some Welsh & Scots blood along with German, Norman & Jute.

Good analysis re Govt dependencies, leading vs lagging measures for decisions. Sobering times.

Political Fix - Will Starmer’s new milestones become millstones?
Listen to Political Fix - Will Starmer’s new milestones become millstones? by Financial Times on Podcast Addict. Sir Keir Starmer unveiled six fresh pledges as part of a major government reset this week, which included diluting a green target and redefining his economic goals. It followed a tumultuous start to government for Labour after 14 years in opposition. As the administration reached the five-month mark on Thursday, Political Fix hosted a live special as part of the FT’s Global Board

Cannot emphasise enough how intensely fascist / violent it is to criminalise the act of being publicly opposed to civilian murder on false pretences

It is not hyperbole at all to present these government actions as something that will cause serious harm in a bunch of different ways

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide

Gas company tax is paying for the wages of nurses?
Yeah. Nah.
Over the past decade, nurses paid more tax than oil & gas companies

Gas companies are taking the piss.

@lucyfisher.ft.com @robertshrimsley.bsky.social @stephenkb.bsky.social @pickardje.bsky.social great on the defence picture on today's #PoliticalFix.
With Keir unable to make the arguments needed. Is his best bet to authorise engaging Russian vessels? Win or lose it makes the case to the public?..pt1
