My wonderful Mum who gave me my love for politics, nature, history, books & much more, was kind & generous to the end, sadly died this morning aged 77 after a struggle with cancer. In 2018 ago I got her on the Daily Politics to talk about a famous political event she attended.

The inside story of how Starmer seized back control of Labour - but with a risk @Independent independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Obviously it’s only a small handful of by-elections but the fact Reform are failing to hold by elections in seats they won just weeks earlier, points to a potential weakness in maintaining momentum. With up to 4 years to go till the GE that risks being a problem for them.

I am so disappointed by Diane Abbott, because of my respect for her as a pioneer. But my reply to her observation that Jews didn’t have to sit in the back of the bus, is that she’s right. Because Jews weren’t allowed on the bus at all. Here’s my Mum’s experience (from my book)

🤔 Curious that No 10 briefed today that Kemi Badenoch, as leader of opposition, turned down briefing on Afghan data leak When Labour were in opposition, a briefing on same data breach was offered to Keir Starmer in December 2023... and John Healey turned it down on his behalf
