In 2022 I went to North Shields to see how people were coping in a cost of living crisis. Back then Keir Starmer said it showed the “reality in Tory Britain” 4 years on I’ve been back to see the same people in Labour Britain. Has anything changed? itv.com/news/2026-04-3…

It can be tough being a Tory in Scotland. Now they’re being squeezed by the rise of Reform and their own record in Westminster. Watch the full film in the link below, on the campaign trail behind the gloss with all 6 of Scotland’s main parties.

Here are the extraordinary claims the PM makes when saying he hasn’t been lying about the circumstances of Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador - claims that his chief secretary Darren Jones insists are true. 1) that no one told him till Tuesday night - and he had no other way of knowing - that UK Security Vetting had recommended Peter Mandelson should not be appointed US ambassador. 2) that when Starmer told MPs repeatedly that “due process” had been followed in Mandelson’s appointment, and when he told journalists on camera in Hastings in February, that Mandelson had passed the vetting process, no one at the foreign office thought to tip him off that Olly Robbins - the now sacked permanent secretary at the foreign office - had over-ruled UK Security Vetting. Robbins had the powers to do this, though Jones insists no one at the centre of government was aware of these powers. And we are being asked to believe that Robbins unilaterally took this hugely controversial decision without consulting or informing any minister - even though Mandelson’s appointment was almost uniquely a political one, not a normal Whitehall one. 3) That the most material of all facts in the Mandelson debacle, that security officials did not believe Mandelson’s was fit and proper to be US ambassador, was only brought to the PM’s attention on Tuesday night - even though the government promised MPs in early February it would publish all documents relevant to Mandelson’s appointment and has been combing the files for ten weeks to find them. Jones’s argument is that this debacle is not a failure of the PM but a failure of the state. But that is a double edged sword, because opposition leaders can legitimately point to the British tradition of ministers taking responsibility for state failures as egregious as this one - and Starmer should resign. So the stakes will be enormously high when Starmer goes to the Commons to explain himself on Monday. Badenoch says, quite properly, that he should have done so on Wednesday, as soon as he knew that he had misled MPs, albeit - says Jones - unintentionally. But the moment of truth is only delayed. Monday will be a “Westland” moment for Starmer and Badenoch. I am referring to the clash in January 1986 over a defence contract scandal between Margaret Thatcher and Neil Kinnock in the Commons - when some thought Kinnock had the power to bring down Thatcher but flunked it. Monday’s Commons clash between Starmer and Badenoch could well determine each of their futures. It is make or break for Starmer.
