I get by perfectly well on three hours sleep a night. Six hours in the afternoon and three hours at night.

It's probably far too much to hope that Burnham will get rid of the Blairite imposition of "Labour Party Chair". The actual Chair of the Labour Party is Shabana Mahmood (until the next Conference).

If Burnham fails, Labour is going to need a truly fresh face, someone who is guaranteed to be loved by ordinary people and is completely untainted by the Westminster bubble and I think it has to be Steve Rotheram's grandbaby.

They're all going on about how Burnham is the fifth PM in four years, but it actually feels like he's the first PM since Johnson. Truss, Sunak and Starmer were just so fundamentally unsuited.

Can't believe Binface will have to share a stage with thirty-three ridiculous joke candidates.

People really misunderstand what Blue Labour is. It's not the Old Labour Right, bar a few outliers who were so far out BL can't even reach for them as antecedents. It's not old Labour of any sort. It's the communitarian strain of Blairism, and before that the communitarian strain of Thatcherism.

As Starmer's time in office comes to an end I think we can say that, while there are few things he knows about and even fewer things he cares about, when it comes to having people punished for holding up signs he wrote the book and he wrote it from the heart.

On one hand, we're told Anne Widdecombe was a plain-speaking & principled politician, so worthy of admiration even if one didn't agree with "everything she said". On the other they say she was only homophobic in public and had gay friends; which surely means she was not plain-speaking & principled.

Clacton candidate idea: Nigel Garage.

You can't say trans people weren't represented at Starmer's Pride reception.

And so Penelope Keith passes having never faced justice.

Given his impending departure, the trans toilet ban will surely be the only legacy for Starmer and his version of Labour. Alabama Starmer.
