Labour must put policy first, politics second, Tony Blair says
Former PM urges party to take a step back and ‘analyse the world’ amid speculation over Keir Starmer’s leadershipTony Blair has continued his attack on the Labour government, saying it should be about “policy first, politics second”.Hours after he published a scathing essay in which he warned that the party’s “almost infinite capacity for self-delusion” meant it was likely to lose the next election, the former prime minister said it should “take a step back, analyse the world.” Continue reading....

As a lifetime NAACP member, it is ‘Out of Bounds’ for playing politics with football
The NAACP, once the vanguard of the fight for equal justice under the law, has launched a campaign called "Out of Bounds." Its goal: pressure Black athletes, fans, and donors to boycott college football programs in southern states over congressional redistricting disputes.What does college football have to do with redistricting? Absolutely nothing. This is not civil rights advocacy. It is the weaponization of a beloved American pastime — and the economic leverage of Black athletic talent — for r...
JONATHAN TURLEY: Rep Goldman is trying to rage bait his way to victory. Can he?

The establishment reaction to Andy Burnham’s rise is a sign of the fight to come | Clive Lewis
The old settlement will not politely bow out for its replacement – which is why progressives must take action on these three frontsVery often, I find, science fiction names what politics struggles to. In James SA Corey’s series of novels the Expanse, the violent dystopian streets of Baltimore are given a name for what happens when the old order breaks down faster than people can describe it: the Churn. It is the brutal reorganisation of power, when familiar rules collapse and those who survive a...
What Britain won’t face
Covering British politics today is to be trapped somewhere between despair, horror, outrage and intrigue. We have been in this position for ten years, rotating our cast of premiers, each thrust into the same tempest, each unable to calm it. Perhaps this is nothing new, even if it seems more intense. In 1980, the soon to be leader of the Labour Party, Michael Foot, noted how susceptible the House of Commons was to “those swelling tempers when it converts itself into a mob”.
