A bit disappointed Laura Kuenssberg didn't ask Mandelson about the pissing in the street incident

Really striking how uncomfortable Kemi is on anything where she pretty much agrees with the government. Her one setting is 'attack'.

Londoners think it’s a safe place to live, the rest of the UK think otherwise. This aligns with other data where places with low immigration are much more likely to think it’s a problem, showing the effectiveness of media narratives with people who lack experience with the issue.

@KirstieMAllsopp London streets perhaps are safer now than they have ever been: judging by NHS hospital data (assaults, stabbings etc) murders, etc

Of all the questions you could ask @EdwardJDavey, “why aren’t you doing better in the polls” is about the least interesting. The obsession with data points rather than actual issues. #r4today

Denmark should withdraw ozempic from the States. Make America Fat Again

"I don’t agree with a foreign policy of meetings and saying nice things to one another,” said Kemi. Right, okay. https://t.co/CaK4iHglgw

"Marlborough School, which charges £61,800 a year, has had to turn off the heating during the holidays to save money" 🎻

My view: Labour must avoid a return to the chaos of leadership challenges that we saw under the Conservatives. We should get behind the PM to deliver a more prosperous and fairer country.

"Loose lips cost lives" is a message the opposition, right-wing hacks, and egocentrics, including the 'It's all about me' crowd on here should take seriously. The PM is having to consider the impact of volatile decisions he played no part in. Neither did the American congress!

I am endlessly in awe of the sheer political and diplomatic naïveté of people who think the British Prime Minister should conduct the rhetoric of international relations as if he were some ranting bloke sitting in an attic on his Facebook account. Grow up.

There gores whatever shred was left of America’s moral authority and the last vestiges of international law. Dangerous times. Greenland next?

So when China launches a special op to seize the president of Taiwan: or Russia tries to do the same for Zelensky - what exactly do we say? You can’t do that, it’s illegal?

Venezuela’s Maduro is a corrupt, vicious dictator repressing democratic opposition . But the US unilaterally capturing a foreign leader not at war breaches every canon of intl law. Justifies Putin in Ukraine/Xi in Taiwan. Might is right. Who next on what pretext? A dark moment.

Another view of London last night

Enjoyed Christmas Day at the @AlmeidaTheatre for some tense, topical festive vibes. Well worth a visit.

Those who’ve truly fallen are politicians who wrap themselves in the British flag while cynically and dishonestly trashing their own country’s greatest city - nicely put, ⁦@robertshrimsley⁩

Good call by @SadiqKhan to make Oxford Street a car-free zone: 20 new shops opened last year, and a further 25 likely this year, as retailers bet on revitalisation

Britain has no industrial base? Thank this woman. @Telegraph

100% this from @Joe_Dromey - the Greens are offering unicorns and it's time for Labour to confront Polanski's fantasy solutions https://t.co/9zksabSxIB
