    Scrapping the #NewLabour national ID scheme was one of the only two good things the Coalition did. The other was the electoral reform referendum, which people stupidly rejected because they preferred to give Nick Clegg a good kicking.

  7. "Old-school Blairites are seeing one of their own, given #Burnham’s hinterland and his announcement of James Purnell as his chief of staff. The #Labour right is taking heart from the rumours of Shabana Mahmood as chancellor, and Josh Simons’ role in the policy team. The soft left is betting on Burnham’s transformation from #NewLabour careerist to a new kind of thinker. It feels churlish to point it out, but they can’t all be right."

    This is why Burnham will be Starmer Mark II. By the time he gets to No 10, everything that made him different will have been leached away by the rotten #NewLabour culture. Sarah Wakefield should be fighting Makerfield seriously, to win.

  17. #Labour have always used #Lambeth as a lab (no pun intended) to test policies to later roll out nationally. This time and after decades of #NewLabour rule, it is the turn of the #Greens. Not only the elected mayor is now Green councillor Paul Valentine, but the council is going back to rule by committee thanks to a coalition with #Libdems brixtonbuzz.com/2026/05/lib-de, at a time when #Westminster rolls out legislation to restrict committee ruling cfgs.org.uk/resource/explained. Strong positive signals 💪🏼💚!

  35. undefined | Mandelson faces £300 fine for urinating in street

    Lord Peter Mandelson, a former UK ambassador to the United States, is expected to receive a fixed‑penalty notice of up to £300 for publicly urinating on a street in Notting Hill, west London, in November of last year. Kensington and Chelsea Council said it wants to issue the fine but has been unable to locate a suitable address for Mandelson, preventing the notice from being served.

    The incident was captured in photographs published by the Daily Mail, showing the former Labour minister relieving himself against a wall after leaving the home of former Conservative chancellor George Osborne. Council officers were not present at the time, so no on‑the‑spot fine could be issued, but the images and public comments have prompted the authority to pursue a penalty, which would be reduced to £150 if paid within two weeks.

    Mandelson’s troubles come amid broader controversies. He was dismissed as Britain’s ambassador to the US in September after revelations about his connections to convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein, and he is under criminal investigation for allegedly passing market‑sensitive government information to Epstein. A former business secretary and key architect of New Labour, Mandelson was appointed ambassador by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in December 2024, arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and remains a high‑profile figure in British politics.

  40. #NewLabour hated Devolution. They only did it because they were more afraid of an independent Scotland, hobbling the assemblies with a better and fairer electoral system in the hope of ensuring continued Labour control. Didn't work with Holyrood and I hope the Senedd kicks the bastards out as well.

    So no surprise #NewerLabour will try to thwart the wishes of the devolved regions.
