I think Olympics feel too long ago, so I've been going with the release of Gangnam Style

Just realised that if the next UK General Election is in May 2029 there will be voters who were born after the release of Gangnam Style.

I find it odd given the way that Jeremy Corbyn in particular talks about Your Party, but having checked it looks like it is a deliberate decision.

Jenrick defection made me check, and Zarah Sultana is still the only MP with the Your Party designation in parliament (I wouldn't read much into this, suspect other offices just haven't let the Commons know officially)

The interesting question is β€˜who is the most left leaning Labour MP capable of getting 80 nominations from members of the PLP’? Because that’s the next deputy leader.

Seeing a lot of left-leaning people express shock at this, but it's entirely what I'd expect from the MoS, and their readers - not doing so is a classic example of not understanding your political opponents.

Admittedly I'm mainly saying this because it would be in my professional interest, but I do think having some sort of vaguely public manifesto process would make sense

All I'm saying is if I was the civil servant who had to find a new award recipient every day, I don't think I'd mention unless I was directly asked about it

Winners' stories - Points of Light

The question nobody is asking - are the UK Points of Light Awards over? No new winners on the website since 23 May (but the contact form for the PM still prompts nominations) www.pointsoflight.gov.uk/winners-stor...
