It’s three months on from Starmer’s brutal suspension of the seven Labour MPs who voted for the SNP’s amendment on the two child benefit cap. Until they are let back into the party – which may take some time judging by previous experience – they are independent MPs…
Some of them just can’t get over losing Starmer’s warm embrace. They’re still pretending to be Labour MPs on Twitter…
Richard Burgon, Zarah Sultana, and John McDonnell all still have Labour in their bios. The rest have removed all mention of their old party. The onetime Shadow Chancellor and Shadow Justice Secretary might need a stern word from their former employer…
Eyebrows have been raised pretty high in response to Michael Gove’s endorsement of Kamala Harris. Gove said she had “significant weaknesses” but was “the lesser of two evils.” Those “weaknesses” have been painfully on display today…
Gove said on the BBC’s Today podcast:
“I would follow Dick Cheney’s advice, and I would vote for Kamala Harris.”
At the same time Gove refused to back Badenoch on the record because “the Spectator doesn’t back candidates, it backs causes.” Media sources question the wisdom of the Spectator’s new editor endorsing the most left-wing Democratic candiate in some years. They point out that fledgling US edition of the magazine is loss-making – sales may not be helped by this intervention. The US expansion is a big deal – throwing weight behind one party’s candidate is a choice…
Nigel Farage has torn into Kamala Harris after a car-crash interview with Fox News. Confronted with a poll showing over 70% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track— a track Harris has been a part of for over three years —her response was even weaker than her usual word salads:
“And Donald Trump has been running for office, since… you know what I’m talking about.”
Err… no we don’t. Farage didn’t mince his words, posting on X, “She’s even more stupid than I thought.” And this could be the next Leader of the Free World…
The IDF has confirmed suspicions that its mortar strike on a group of terrorists in Gaza killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. DNA and fingerprint checks have been conducted…
Sinwar has been leader of Hamas in Gaza since 2017. Another step towards total victory…
Starmer loyalist and Housing Secretary Steve Reed told Sky News that Starmer should not be replaced:
“We saw what the Tories did. They were in power for 14 years, and after 2016, I think we had nine education secretaries, seven chancellors, and five Prime Ministers. Doomscrolling through Prime Ministers doesn’t resolve the problem.”
