Why did Keir Starmer promise to “make Brexit work” when he clearly had no idea whatsoever how to do that?

Whatever your opinion on Reform, this is absolutely remarkable. Unprecedented even - the SDP never managed to lead the polls more than five times in a row. We are nearing eight months of unbroken Reform leads. Historical comparisons no longer apply.
Reform UK has now led more than 175 consecutive national opinion polls. Britain wants Reform. 🇬🇧

The personal attacks on Farage and Polanski will only increase as this parliament goes on. There are a huge number of careers dependent on the Labour-Tory duopoly being maintained. They aren’t going to let the two party system die without a vicious fight to save it.

The problem with 2020s right-wing nationalism is that national sovereignty matters a great deal to the nationalists, right up to the point that they don’t care about it whatsoever.
🚨🇨🇦Trump just reclassified Canada as a subordinate territory and a threat to U.S. National Security. We knew this was coming. So did Mark Carney. The era of U.S. ownership of the North is over. Full Story here 👇🇨🇦🔥 https://t.co/oXeNIZAt85

This polling has really stuck with me. Not just the marked difference in the way young men and women intend to vote, but how the Tories are nowhere now with people under 30, while Reform are doing well with them (meaning this isn’t a left-right thing, just an anti-Tory vibe).
Great piece from @bbclaurak, for too many young people - both grads & non grads - the social contract simply doesn’t work & traditional mainstream parties are wrong to just assume they’ll return when they “grow up” unless the system starts to work for them https://t.co/0EqdiElpBU

But he’s not. Starmer is doing absolutely nothing. He’s not even going to be prime minister this time next year.
Step by step, Keir Starmer’s Labour is taking us back into the single market, whatever his declared policy may say. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇 https://t.co/baCmder8bo

We either rejoin the EU or we don’t. Labour’s attempt at a third way is becoming increasingly ridiculous.
‘I’m not saying we should negotiate to rejoin… but there is a deal to be done.’ Labour MP @stellacreasy reacts to David Lammy’s refusal to rule out reversing Brexit.

This is not a remotely believable claim given the policies you have pursued.

I think joining a customs union with the EU is a bad idea. I can’t believe Remainers are getting excited about what amounts to Theresa May’s Brexit.

If Labour loses London, it is finished as a party. And apparently, that’s happening already.

Told you.
Exclusive from @patrickkmaguire Ed Miliband is likely to be the Labour membership’s preferred choice to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister, according to polling that reveals the scale of unhappiness at the party’s grassroots The energy secretary has the highest

Thatcher's adoption of the royal we was quixotic, but even her bitterest enemies will credit her with not adopting the third person.
They tried to silence her. They failed. The Liz Truss Show — December 5th. It’s time to fight for the West.

Femi “finally” loses it? That implies this particular Rubicon wasn’t crossed a very long time ago.

The only people who are “rattled” by the Green Party’s rise under Zack Polanski are those within the Labour Party. The rest of us just think he’s a pompous windbag with zero substance and figure at least he’ll destroy Labour at the next election.

The Starmer line that goes “We should have got a better Brexit deal” works mostly for Nigel Farage and Reform. Particularly as Starmer has no actual plan for “make Brexit work”.

Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia boycotting Eurovision is the worst kind of political grandstanding. Extremely unfortunate.

Only 12% of voters approve of this government. Twelve percent. Minus 60 approval is almost impossible to come back from. Even under a new leader, I don’t see how Labour gets out of this hole.
Latest YouGov post-Budget poll: Labour’s general approval rating falls to minus 60 (12% approve, 72% disapprove). At this rate most Labour MPs and cabinet ministers will be out of a job come the next election.

Zia Yusuf breaking the golden rule of politics here: never tell the voters they are wrong and/or ignorant. Particularly on live television. https://t.co/kHFzM9weSJ

A group the Tories should champion: graduates paying a 51% marginal rate on £50,270+ and 37% on £28,470+.
