Too many people with too much to say
I was saying a lot in @LabourUncut in February 2020

Labour is having an emotional spasm says @rob_marchant labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/05/1…

A last-ditch bet has been made on the ability of a successful regional politician to jump in and save the Labour government. But it is a long shot, and, seen from outside, a less than dignified move for a party in power. Me at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/05/1…

"Any bets, Mr Burnham?"
"Yes, I'm going to bet everything on a colour."
"Red or black?"
"Neither. On zero, green."
"But..."
"Yes, the whole farm."

Excellent summary of why assumptions that Burnham reaches number 10 are taking a lot for granted

For those critical of Starmer's leadership - and many of us often are - we might also want to reflect calmly on how the Iran attacks might have played out with another leader. Me at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/03/0…

This is the headline for me:
‘Worst of all, one suspects that, even though a key ally is disabled, on balance, Vladimir Putin is secretly delighted at the chaos being created in the West’- excellent from @rob_marchant at @LabourUncut
Labour and Iran: in which, unusually, Tony Blair's view on geopolitics is slated and Keir Starmer's praised. Me at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/03/0…

Despite the media froth, Labour's by-election ground game is not going too badly - m'good colleague @KevinPMeagher's dispatch from the battlefront at @LabourUncut: labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/2…

'Hand on heart, it feels eminently winnable. Canvassers report the surge for Reform they noticed in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election last year – where Farage’s gang won by just six votes – is absent this time.'

M'good colleague @KevinPMeagher nails it: @AnasSarwar has shot his credibility and will now be pilloried from all sides, especially his own.

Anas Sarwar must go says @KevinPMeagher labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/1…

Sarwar's coup 'went up like a rocket and came down like a stick'. Here Kevin Meagher on @LabourUncut nails it:

‘Keir Starmer’s service to his country and his party is to…allow Labour to switch gears at the right moment, rather than panicking over short-term unpopularity. To endure until winter 2027 or spring 2028, thus allowing Labour to reinvent itself…’ @LabourUncut

Starmer should go. But not now says @KevinPMeagher labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/02/0…

The NEC’s 8-1 vote to block Andy Burnham suggests his team hadn't prepared properly says @AtulHatwal labour-uncut.co.uk/2026/01/2…

I suggested Sunak should have done this in 2023.

The Tories don't have the 'balls and gumption' to kick Liz Truss out of their party, Robert Jenrick says
'Kemi has shown she can kick out those she doesn’t want. But not Liz Truss. The grounds would be obvious
'Truss’s disastrous tenure as prime minister destroyed the savings of tens of thousands of people in this country. In 42 days, she single-handedly demolished the party’s reputation for fiscal credibility, undermined the country’s credit ratings and forced many to re-evaluate their retirement
'Since that time, Mrs Truss has embarked on an unrepentant, vainglorious global media tour in which she proudly declares that her unique blend of economic incompetence should be the model for fiscal policy worldwide. All this as a Tory member
'Why hasn’t she been removed? Well, because removing her would be difficult. She has friends in the party. It isn’t the done thing. It’s easier to let her just remain
'Nobody has the gumption to face the issue, no matter how offensive it is to the victims of her ineptitude. And if the party doesn’t have the balls to kick out Truss, will it really have the gumption to take on the vested interests that stand in the way of all the change our country needs?'

‘But The Rise of the Peripherals is not just a story about Reform and the Greens…Indeed, the big story of May’s elections…is the reality that nationalists will be in control in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for the first time.’
