"Why is our health secretary picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education and care are still so closed off to the people who get them?"

The ever-excellent John Harris dissects the nasty "overdiagnosis" trope, currently promoted by Wes Streeting and our nightmare Labour government. His style is calm and balanced, but I can feel the underlying rage.

John Harris is a good man.

Gil McGowan - head of the Alberta Federation for Labour and the Common Front has said - “I just want to make it really clear that if the government puts a gun to the head of the teachers and they’re not able to continue their strike, then we in the broader labour movement will stand where they’re not able to,”

Today would be a good day to ask the boys and girls at the Labour Party HQ how well that policy of snubbing Labour voters in favour of slavishly chasing after the Reform vote is going.

George Monbiot on the unhealable loss of trust in Starmer's Labour party, and how we may enable Greens and LibDems (and SNP and Plaid Cymru) to overcome the two-party paralysis.

'Island of Strangers' from #Starmer was said to appeal to the xenophobic, and it's all bollocks.

Everyone, I don't know personally is a fucking stranger... What I do know is that ... As an elderly bloke, if I collapsed in the street, decent strangers would be there to assist me.

Every time Starmer opens his mouth he thinks he is appealing to the Reform voters, but he is definitely diminishing his standing and that of #Labour with voters.

I suspect once politicians get to the top then they think don't need advisers to tell them when stuff is ill-advised and they are being a gobshite

Keir Starmer overtakes Farage's Reform in his vicious anti-immigrant stance.

I came to this country as a young man. I stayed. I called England my home. I have educated British professionals for three decades.

First Brexit. Now comes Labour --- Labour! --- and tells me that I am lucky to be tolerated as an unwelcome guest.

What a world we live in.
