I like the idea of it, but I find that I'm never there for that long. I find that it's also difficult to follow on a phone-sozed screen.

I think that there's a Muppet GIF for every situation.

That's a cynical response, child poverty isn't extended by a single MP resigning from the party, it's extended by a leadership that prioritises other things over it. Her letter reads as quitting the party on principles, something that can be admired but still disagreed with without the snark.

My experience is that the culture of an organisation is set by how the people at the top behave. The public want a good example and expect it from Labour and the Lib Dems, but not the Tories. No MP should be accepting a single gift from a non-constituent, and none over £50.

Sir Keir Starmer on Good Morning Britain, 2021.

“I was the Director of Public Prosecutions that prosecuted MPs for breaches of the expenses rules so I know how to take tough decisions and if I get into power I want to clear this up. I don’t think it’s acceptable to simply say, “well, it goes on”, “it’s priced in”, “it’s all right.” It isn’t all right. It needs to be cleaned up, because millions of people out there do not want one rule for those in government and another rule for everybody else. That is not acceptable, and if I were Prime Minister I would make it clear that I’d clean that up.”

Hmm. I find the following alarming. That's exactly how Welsh and Gaelic were suppressed and why the Irish ended up an independent country. When she says dominant is British she really means English, a bit like Jenrick last week.

That's some article for being online.
