The next few years will feature so, so SO many columns and Substacks by people claiming that things were going well and Labour just needed to 'stick with Morgan's plan'.

“Starmer said the ‘mistakes of Iraq’ have been learnt and he has published the legal advice that justifies allowing the US to use British military bases in attacks on Iran [in specific circumstances] But there were plenty of other mistakes in relation to Iraq – are they being repeated now?”

Allies of Hutton reckon that far from welcoming the investigation, Simons probably wishes the whole matter had never come up.

The Greens win - What will be the consequences? In the end the Greens won the Gorton and Denton by-election with ease. Labour were third in one of their safest seats. Reform is no longer the only insurgent party of ‘change’. Given the restive mood…

The only hot-take worth listening to is @steverichards.bsky.social

The key points, other than the obvious one that it's bad for Labour in itself, is that it's bad for #Farage (hence his whining). It's also not necessarily the end of Labour. See 1981.

With McSweeney, we saw a disastrous drop in support for labour as Starmer inauthentically pursued the red wall.
Yet MSM tell us that the soft left isn’t what we voted for & will be a disaster for Britain. Says who & why?
