Greetings from Burnley! More in Playbook PM later
My @POLITICOEurope piece on how Humza Yousaf's tenure as Scottish First Minister stands up against other short serving leaders, using an, erm, alternative type of measurement to compare their duration in office. politico.eu/article/scotla…
🧀 IN PARMO-FUELED PLAYBOOK PM TONIGHT ... 🏴 SNP crisis after Humza quits. Damning assessment from SNP insider 🏗️ AND ... Are allegations of cronyism damaging Ben Houchen re-election? Latest local elections tour postcard from Teesside 🕺 Read online: politico.eu/newsletter/lon…

Humza Yousaf just quit. Here’s who could replace him as Scotland’s leader. politico.eu/article/humza-…
Here’s one for the fiscal nerds: In recent years, as much as one-fifth of all measured public investment was in fact student loans (the loans the government makes and doesn’t expect to get back). The headline numbers overstate how much ‘actual’ investment we’re doing.
Excl in Playbook: Liz Truss' former No10 director of political comms Adam Jones describes his former boss as "opportunistic" and said a lot of people who have worked for her find some of her recent comments and company she is keeping "slightly unedifying". More ⬇️
Sunak’s defence announcement was a challenge to European countries and a clear message to Donald Trump. Government sources tell @POLITICOEurope the UK is well placed to get into Trump’s good books as ministers push NATO members to hike defence spending. politico.eu/article/britai…

Loved this (on why parties often have to brief their strategies - such as they are - in order to give them any chance of working) from @thhamilton - not least for the phrase "a frisson of insider knowledginess"! open.substack.com/pub/dividingli…
I wrote about Labour putting ads in the Daily Express and why the most important audience for Labour’s ads in the Daily Express doesn’t even read the Daily Express: dividinglines.substack.com/p/express-deli…
ALSO IN PLAYBOOK PM: Journos at Sunak presser this morning found wad of sensitive documents under a cabinet minister's chair, via @StephSpyro, @danbloom1 Full coverage of the PM presser And ... date of Scottish Greens vote on staying in Scot govt to be set tomorrow night

Tactical voting has been talked up at every election since the first organised effort in 1997. But despite the intro of slick online tools backed up by sophisticated polling - its never really caught on with British voters. Will 2024 be any different? politico.eu/article/britai…

🗣️ "the rules no longer have relevance in the modern world and are unenforceable to applicants determined to ignore them." Strong words from Lord Pickles on the latest breach of ACOBA rules and Boris Johnson's failure to disclose hedge fund links. ft.com/content/ece299…

Politico’s great story confirms a tip @politicshome heard in September
🚨 SCOOP: Labour rolls back promise to publish anti-leasehold laws in first 100 days. Insiders argue govt plan is so weak Labour will need more time. Campaigner @HarryScoffin: "Yet another U-turn from Starmer’s Labour. The rigged system wins again." politico.eu/newsletter/lon…
Last night’s Playbook PM was THIS close to realising/acknowledging their own role in the way politics is reported on. It might the first time I can recall it leading on issues rather than the horse-race elements of who’s ahead, who’s behind, and tea-room leadership talk.
💄 In Playbook PM ... 🥢 Apologies I went off on one about how Westminster is nice in recess without the sociopathic MPs 🌖 & how interest in the eclipse shows there are normal voters out there despite what the internet suggests 🦠 PLUS: DC in DC ... catfishing latest etc ...
