I hadn't thought of him this way before, but it's suddenly clear that Streeting is this decade's Michael Gove. No idea is too untested to be wielded against reality.

Most British thing I've ever heard. The service isn't there to be a service, the service is there as a low-level entrapment scam.

So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from @northernassist telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time. I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid. A thread 🧵

Rarely see this level of cringe from the old country. Interesting development. Proud.

The ‘Marsh Family’ from the UK releases an over four minute song praising Kamala Harris and bashing Donald Trump. The song is titled ‘Gimme Hope Kamala.’ It amassed 1.3M views on YouTube.

Latest piece for @thehousemag. On how predictable people's voting is, given their demographics. Plus gnomes.

it's him who brought his kid into it! the only disclosure he needed to make was the value of the donation! the public interest here is not in whether you spent it on virtuous stuff or treats, it is in the fact that whenever the PM has a personal problem he calls Lord Alli

This is getting silly now. Leave his kids out of it, and stop blowing things out of proportion. There is bad behaviour amongst some politicians, but this constant pearl clutching at everything undermines trust to an unjustified and dangerous extent. Try reporting some news.

Britain has such strict anti-corruption rules that street cleaners are banned from accepting charitable donations, but politicians can accept hundreds of thousands of pounds in gig tickets, holidays, designer clothes, and lavish parties. What a country!

"How far into the future a policy is expected to pay off matters a lot less to voters than how big that payoff will be. The sooner the better, but much more so, the bigger the better." Crucial research finding from our @QMPoliticsIR colleague @m_barnfield theconversation.com/evidence-tells…

My article "Policy Discounting Across and Beyond the Lifespan" was published open access over the weekend @EJPRjournal. It shows that people prefer policies with short-term payoffs, but not because they will personally live to see those future benefits.

@MatthewLBishop And then, once you’re even slightly hooked, enough “politics podcasts” to listen to new content all day, every day.

The cynical spectre of Osbornomics is haunting the Labour party. Emergency cuts, empty pockets, a ‘maxed-out credit card’: why is Rachel Reeves using the language and logic of austerity?

Next Sunday the All-Ireland hurling final will be on the BBC for the first time. It’s Cork vs Clare, a cracker of match in front of 82,400 screaming fans at Croke Park, for the highlight of the Irish sporting year. If you’ve never seen Hurling, here is a quick explainer…

You can read a book about this (and consider the reasons why a distancing from New Labour happened). Getting Over New Labour: The Party After Blair and Brown amzn.eu/d/01Svnpee

Pat McFadden at Blair institute conference today: “It’s a funny thing in the Labour Party because we’ve got a curious relationship with our past, and one of the big mistakes that we made after 2010 was distancing ourselves from the Labour govt. It wasn’t just a tactical mistake in my view, it was a real category error. We wanted to correct that and to Keir Starmer’s great credit he did correct that.”

Don't really understand this from Starmer as reported in @thetimes. The register of members' financial interests does not abolish conflicts of interest. It publicises interests, revealing (potential) conflicts. It is not a magic wand for ensuring "there's no conflict of interest"

Expecting a Labour majority following the election? Wondering what a Labour government will want to do? I have a book for that! Getting Over New Labour covers Labour’s tumultuous post-2010 years, culminating in Keir Starmer’s leadership. amazon.co.uk/Getting-Over-N…
