Labour Uncut

For those critical of Starmer's leadership - and many of us often are - we might also want to reflect calmly on how the Iran attacks might have played out with another leader. Me at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/03/09/sta…

This is the headline for me: ‘Worst of all, one suspects that, even though a key ally is disabled, on balance, Vladimir Putin is secretly delighted at the chaos being created in the West’- excellent from @rob_marchant at @LabourUncut

Labour and Iran: in which, unusually, Tony Blair's view on geopolitics is slated and Keir Starmer's praised. Me at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/03/09/sta…

Starmer is doing the right thing on Iran, if imperfectly says @rob_marchant labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/03/09/sta…

Despite the media froth, Labour's by-election ground game is not going too badly - m'good colleague @KevinPMeagher's dispatch from the battlefront at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/23/its…

'Hand on heart, it feels eminently winnable. Canvassers report the surge for Reform they noticed in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election last year – where Farage’s gang won by just six votes – is absent this time.' labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/23/its… @LabourUncut

It’s close in Denton and Gorton, but Labour’s still in the game - @KevinPMeagher with a dispatch from the front, after several hours canvassing. TL;DR It's there to be won labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/23/its…

M'good colleague @KevinPMeagher nails it: @AnasSarwar has shot his credibility and will now be pilloried from all sides, especially his own.

Anas Sarwar must go says @KevinPMeagher labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/10/ana…

Sarwar's coup 'went up like a rocket and came down like a stick'. Here Kevin Meagher on @LabourUncut nails it:

‘Keir Starmer’s service to his country and his party is to…allow Labour to switch gears at the right moment, rather than panicking over short-term unpopularity. To endure until winter 2027 or spring 2028, thus allowing Labour to reinvent itself…’ @LabourUncut

Starmer should go. But not now says @KevinPMeagher labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/08/sta…

The NEC’s 8-1 vote to block Andy Burnham suggests his team hadn't prepared properly says @AtulHatwal labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/01/25/the…

I suggested Sunak should have done this in 2023. labour-uncut.co.uk/2023/09/30/if-… @LabourUncut

‘But The Rise of the Peripherals is not just a story about Reform and the Greens…Indeed, the big story of May’s elections…is the reality that nationalists will be in control in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for the first time.’ @LabourUncut
