predictable seeing some self proclaimed socialists attack Gary over this. In s wales we are now in the fight of our lives to stop reform winning in labour heartlands-presumably we should scream at people on the doorstep, call them bigots? Not engage with them? Unserious children

Starmer speech on Hillsborough Law just now one of the most assured I’ve ever seen him give. Close aides say this unprecedented legislation for govt transparency makes the best case for his leadership: wouldn’t have existed had he not driven it through strong Whitehall opposition
Starmer is obviously not a worse PM than Johnson or Truss. And unpopularity doesn’t mean you can’t do some good (ask Brown). But two things clear: 1) Starmer can’t fight next election 2) Gov should actually try courting popularity of ordinary people, not right-wing news editors

Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel ‘will stand alone if necessary’. The signs that a grand compromise might be reached are not promising, writes @davidswift87👇 buff.ly/5VVuYEc
Trump: Rigged election. *points to Erdogan* He knows about rigged elections better than anybody.

It’s almost impressive that - despite almost 200 years of evidence to the contrary - from ‘visible hand’ of Prussia’s state-led development and List, to Japan’s state-enabled Zaibatsu, & China today, that Britain’s economic liberals think the state can’t assist market actors.

NEW: Downing Street says it will reverse all Lords amendments to employment rights bill which watered it down & that legislation has “absolute backing” of the reshuffled govt. PM’s spox says there will be close work with biz groups about implementation.

The New Statesman’s profile on Shabana Mahmood pin points what, imo, sets her apart from most in the Labour government and wider party—a communitarian belief in rights and duties. I’ve written about the Labour Party’s historical support for this and how it may help @blue_labour.

This is very interesting
Across the West, Christianity has long been in decline. Merseyside is no different: Protestant and Catholic church attendance has dropped and their institutional power waned. At least one academic has argued that the common Scouse identity emerged from two sectarian ones. 🧵
Great Saturday reading here
Cutting Angela Rayner loose would be a disaster for Labour. She is one of the only charismatic working class politicians left in the party. @LabBeyondCities newstatesman.com/uncategorized/…
Happy 818th Birthday, #Liverpool. Founded on this day in 1207.
