With McSweeney, we saw a disastrous drop in support for labour as Starmer inauthentically pursued the red wall. Yet MSM tell us that the soft left isn’t what we voted for & will be a disaster for Britain. Says who & why? Great analysis by @steverichards.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/150916...

@steverichards.bsky.social said ages ago that the misunderstanding the causes of the defeat at the Hartlepool by-election was when Starmer changed tack & Blairites began influencing Starmer's leadership. Everything flows from that, it appears. #consequences

Astute analysis by @steverichards.bsky.social Blocking Burnham is just the latest example of Starmer cutting himself off from new ideas and showing his fear of rivals. Wilson would have put Burnham in the cabinet, used his talents and called his bluff open.spotify.com/episode/111a...

Interesting listen particularly on Starmer’s leadership style and public perception The questions for him and on here @steverichards.bsky.social and @tombaldwin66.bsky.social are Why don’t we see the person Starmer apparently is? What does he need to do to change this and can he still do so?

Doubt you will find a better analysis of the Starmer-Burnham fiasco than this by @steverichards.bsky.social - rich in context and nuance… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Latest podcast - The blocking of Burnham..Context and Consequences: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Once again I wish @steverichards.bsky.social were advising Starmer. Labour needs Burnham’s ability to frame an argument & go on the offensive - attributing our current crises to the Tories. By blocking him Starmer comes across as threatened & unconfident. www.patreon.com/posts/149161...

R&R Politics discusses two themes this week: the schism on the right with the Tory MP defections to Reform; and the issue about Britain's place in the world & our defence capability in the light of fast moving events and all the disproportionate focus on everything that happens in America…

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Key observation- The battle on the right is between two ‘ersatz populist radical’ parties:

interesting to see if Jenrick still believes this

If only Starmer asked @steverichards.bsky.social to be his adviser rather than McSweeney. Always worth a listen, and particularly on the perennial inability of this govt to see round corners (which I find inexplicable in a lawyer honestly.) www.patreon.com/posts/148300...

The schism on the right is as deep as it was on the left in the 1980s…the policy divisions are nowhere near as clear as they were then …but like Labour and the SDP then the Conservatives are not going to disappear as a political force and for the time being at least nor is Reform.

And now the u turn on ID cards:

Steve Richards' choice of theme even more timely than usual, ahead of today's news on digital ID. U-turns can free a govt, but can just as easily undermine commitment to other plans - the purpose behind it all matters.
