Some forensic probing from Kemi Badenoch on these basic questions - Starmer totally refused to engage or explain anything about Mandelson's appointment in a terrible PMQs turn. This isn't going away.

On three occasions, Keir Starmer told the House of Commons that "full due process" was followed over the appointment of Peter Mandelson. That raises the serious question of whether he misled parliament. The Times View on why MPs should investigate: thetimes.com/comment/the-ti…

New contender for worst column of the year: "[Gail's] very presence 20 metres away from a small independent Palestinian cafe feels quietly symbolic, an act of heavy-handed high-street aggression" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Times View on the Mandelson files: Keir Starmer's defence has collapsed, the prime minister can no longer claim ignorance as a defence over the appointment. thetimes.com/comment/the-ti…

MoS reports that Kemi Badenoch is planning a reshuffle intended to promote a) right-wingers she worries will defect to Reform without promotion b) those who are getting high engagement on X Seems that A group and B group are basically the same people (Katie Lam, Jack Rankin etc.) More news on the Tory moderate fightback/Prosper UK as we get it...
