Not Moscow?
This is a political piece, but it has lessons for all writers in how to craft a story that really lands with readers. The focus, the intelligence and the skill stand out a mile in the current pathetic crop of writing on Reform.
I wrote this yesterday - Starmer could still turn his premiership around, if he finally, FINALLY, finds the courage to address the grubby circs which allow people like Mandelson to rise so far. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/07/t...
@mrjamesob.bsky.social See below re the Reform letter in G&D - my reply to Rob Ford's post.
This is a bigger story than not having an imprint. I believe it was a deliberate attempt to deceive voters, and then the printer had to come up with a story to cover for being found out. It's not an error.
A 1935 Sinclair Lewis political novel has a title almost identical to this.
Perhaps I’m old-fashioned but an actual resignation has always struck me as a much more courageous vote of no confidence than a mere call for one…
Last week, we voted to lift 450,000 children out of poverty and selected 500 schools to get free breakfast clubs.
That's the change we should be focused on, that's the change voters want, and it's only possible because Keir Starmer secured a five year mandate.
He must see it through.
When he was a Tory politician (you remember, just after he was binned as a Labour one) female colleagues were free to express their disgust at his blatant misogyny. “Lee is an odious sexist,” was Anna Soubry’s irrefutable conclusion. I wonder what his current colleagues will have to say…
EXC: Nigel Farage has been accused of having no solution to Britain's problems by his own candidate. Matt Goodwin repeatedly attacked the Farage in historic posts, as well as the Reform party as a whole

1. Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been caught brazenly lying about his relationship with Epstein.
In October, Lutnick claimed his relationship with Epstein was "absolutely done" after a single meeting in 2005.
That is absolutely false.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children
Left: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home
Right: Nigel Farage's Reform UK advertising a job which is working form home

Don't be fooled by different names—all these voter suppression bills have the same goal: block millions of eligible Americans from voting.
It's a coordinated attack on our democracy while they ignore real problems that affect all Americans!

This is about fear, not fraud. The GOP's poll numbers are tanking, their agenda is unpopular.

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish.

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.
The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.
#StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/2EpurQwZ
The text says: “JIM CROW 2.0: The “SAVE” Act is voter suppression in disguise. This impacts ALL of us, especially: -150 Million Americans without a passport. -Seniors who are less likely to have access to their birth certificates. -Students frequently moving, facing a prove residency nightmare. -Members of the Military trying to make their voice heard in the country they serve. -Victims of Natural Disasters or those with lost documents. -Immigrant communities targeted for exercising their basic rights. -Call 833-346-1779 Tell your senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act.
While Americans struggle with real issues, Republicans are wasting time on a voter suppression bill that would block millions of people from voting. They're not trying to save America—they're trying to take OUR power to keep theirs. Call your MOC: #StopTheSaveAct
