I found a positive, warm, united and professional atmosphere at the Labour Party conference. It was, at least for me, the first time it felt good to be in Labour circles since the 2024 election. But at the same time I found neither a sense of peril as mega donations wend their way to Reform nor anywhere near the radicalism needed on planning, AI and Europe to get the economy growing. I think it’s a good thing Labour feels hopeful again. But come on guys we should not just be patting ourselves on the back for achieving what the electorate consider the bare minimum. We need to be much bolder than this to defy stagnation.

Ted Cruz: "When Mamdani says he wants to seize the means of production, he means it." Crowd: "HE SHOULD BE SHOT!" Cruz: "When Abdul El-Sayed says he has an obligation to Sharia Law, he means it." Crowd: "HE SHOULD BE SHOT!" Cruz: "And when James Talarico says he wants to dismantle capitalism, he means it." Crowd: "HE SHOULD BE SHOT!"

🧵A big part of reform’s dip sits in our Rooted Patriot segment, closest to how we think about red wall voters; socially conservative, migration sceptic but also have high risk aversion and also the most likely to want limits on hate speech (even more so than left leaning segments)

The UK's position on the Falkland Islands is unwavering. The Islands are British and will remain so because that is the overwhelming position of the Islanders. Their right of self-determination is paramount, grounded in international law and we will resolutely uphold it.

Milei’s statement overnight tells us more about domestic politics in Argentina than it does about the Falkland Islands. The Falklands are British because Falkland Islanders choose to be British. Our commitment to the Falklands is absolute and unshakeable šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ šŸ‡«šŸ‡°

This is a political journalist. The Prime Minister literally outlined what a ā€œtriple helix approach to economic developmentā€ is in the very next sentence - it’s also an almost 40 year old economic developmental framework: academia, industry and government cooperation.
Andy Burnham calls for a ā€œtriple helix approach to economic developmentā€. Answers on a postcard if you know what that one is….

Dundee Labour MSP Michael Marra takes aim at internal briefing against him during the contest. "We must change our culture, and if anyone thinks the negative, cowardly briefing this last week will win us a single vote, then they are dangerously deluded," he said.

New North Sea oil and gas licenses are not compatible with limiting warming to 1.5C - IEA Some consequences of not meeting 1.5C target: 🐠 coral bleaching 🌾 crop failures šŸ”„ extreme wildfires I think I know who the extremists in this argument are
My second daughter turns 100 days old this week. For 25 of those days the temperature has exceeded 30°C somewhere in Britain. She has spent a quarter of her life experiencing a heat that, in the past, it would only have been possible to feel if her parents were prepared to negotiate an airport and short-haul flight. In London, where we live, only seven days have been colder than 15°C. This is not normal. Wildfires are raging across our continent: as I write, a fire the size of the Isle of Wight is burning outside Bordeaux and hundreds of thousands of people are being evacuated. Strategic military aircraft are water bombing for the first time in their operational history. The ground is burning in North Wales. This. Is. Not. Normal. @OliDugmore: Supporting North Sea drilling is an extremist position newstatesman.com/comment/202…
