    I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did. 250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur. A $620 million Pentagon loan,

    Andy Burnham has called for an end to '40 years of neoliberalism'. He is right to name the problem. But the harder task is what comes next: resetting the relationship between the state and business, so that business is held to its role in producing value, not extracting it.

    It’s wild how Gaza is being erased from the narrative surrounding Starmer’s unpopularity. Over 50% of Labour switchers at the locals said it influenced them. It came up on the doorstep over & over again. It’s one of the greatest moral stains of our era. And yet media silence.
