Two problems with having 400+ MPs imo - like the royals something must be found for them to do, and some of them now think you can safely pick off the bits of your current voter coalition you dislike.
It's hilarious to me that a professional politician, an actual MP, in 2026, has written an article saying "assemble a disparate coalition of voters? Not a chance!"
(You might say I'm being unkind and that isn't his argument to which I say - you found an argument in there?)

It looks like the generic banqueting suite every Irish hotel stuck on during the boom, which funnily enough were also harbingers of coming economic disaster.
Good afternoon from my colleague and I.
Help, my centre-right magazine is so sick it's stealing hot takes from Laura K.

From breaking news to huge investigative proje
Guardian has now [after my complaint] corrected Mahmood's deliberate & incendiary false claim settlement gives immigrants "immediate access to welfare and social housing".
Good for Gdn but embarrassing/shameful that Home Secretary deliberately misled the public for political gain like this.
I see she's bored of pop music and angling for a newspaper column.

Never mind, at least there's a politically savvy operation in Downing St who will respond to this in a way that doesn't make these numbers worse!
Just throwing it out there: telling people that they have legitimate grievances about immigration will never reduce the sense of grievance. This isn't how anything works and a government that paid even the merest attention to social science research would know their approach helps the far-right.
I really really really enjoyed it (but having said that her time had come)
Maybe it's just me but I think it's bad that the house style for senior correspondents at the state broadcaster is to address the audience like we are slow-witted children. Newsround didn't talk down to their audience the way these people do.

Saw The Playboy of the Western World at the National Theatre tonight, a significantly hornier production than the one I saw in the Ramor Theatre in Cavan in 1999. Finally understand why those early audiences were scandalised.
