  1. More great reporting from #TheGuardian's #EleniCourea and #PippaCrerar on the squabbles within the UK #LabourParty.

    "They all think Keir is done’: how push to protect Starmer’s job backfired spectacularly". Now Westminster is awash with plotting to replace #Starmer. theguardian.com/politics/2025/

    Of course, it's all just a competition to go down in history as chief lemming: the person at the wheel when Labour crashes and burns at the next general election. #Popcorn 🤣 #ukpol

  2. "The minister for policing and crime prevention had her purse stolen at a conference for senior police officers."

    Hard to improve this sentence, try as you may. It happens to be a newspaper article (by #EleniCourea), but this would also make for a fine first sentence of a crisp 80-page novel about the vacuity of modern life.

    Also a good pitch for the plotline of a TV comedy episode.
