I don't think they have. I think they've pandered to Farage and his paymasters. And Labour were foolish not to get rid of Davie in July 2024.

I thought Rusbridger got a bit hyperbolic.
When George II’s son, the Duke of Cumberland (who had been a war hero in his 20s) capitulated to the French in 1757 he returned home and George II said "Here is my son who has ruined me and disgraced himself.” Cumberland was stripped of his offices and withdrew from public life.
Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Palliative care means be so drugged up you miss your own death.
I can't see a simple solution. I can see a very complicated and unfair solution that erodes even more of our freedom.
It would be a lovely idea. We have health data second only to Iceland. However, giving our children's DNA to Palantir makes it beyond dangerous.
🧵 🚨 Brexit reshaped UK’s food system — not just in trade, but in how we value land, farming, and public health.
As lower-quality imports rise, we risk creating two-tier food system: safe, nutritious food for those who can afford it — cheap, chemically-treated goods for everyone else.
Olivier Picard, Chairman of the National Pharmacy Association (NPA): "Brexit has created a gaping loophole now being exploited by unregulated sellers of prescription medication. There’s no longer a trusted way for patients to distinguish between a regulated pharmacy and an illegal operation."

Labour would do well to read this article if they wish to deal with the disengaged, disaffected and deformed voter base that believe that politicians are all the same.

Cover sheet of a journal article: "Why do cars get a free ride? The social-ecological roots of motonormativity" by Ian Walker and Marco te Brömmelstroet
HOT RESEARCH NEWS!
Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor...
Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵
I've long campaigned for free school meals for all, so I'm pleased that 500,000 more children in England will now be eligible.
This vital step will lift 100,000 kids out of poverty.
Policies like this is what a Labour government should be doing more of.
No, we're the ruddy strangers. Those of us who are British Europeans, those with happily diverse families. Those with gay or trans friends. Where's the confident, diverse country we had in 2012? Gone completely.
This is the secondary modern effect, just like Brexit. On average young people are far more educated than my generation, where 75% were only taught to obey. Teach them 60 years ago that homosexuality's wrong and they won't change their minds - they don't know how. See the Rowntree report on Brexit.
A Deform UK voter has complained about my video which includes a picture of Boris Johnson juxtaposed against a UKIP "dildo" on the grounds that nudity offends ... there is no nudity ... but of course Reform UK paedophilia is OK, isn't it?
See www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsBs...
And what about Salisbury and Novichok? Why did May look terrified? Why did Johnson say he'd be 'dead in a ditch' if he didn't deliver Brexit?
It takes some heavy-duty chutzpah to put the UK on an anti-Putin war footing while simultaneously supporting the harm done to the UK by Putin's Brexit.

Then the law should be changed. No woman is safe now. Not one.
Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.
Today is historic.
russia lost Tu-95s, Tu-160s, and an A-50.
That’s a hit to their nuclear shield.
A-50 was their “eyes” in the sky - now blind.
Tu-95s/160s carry nukes - now burning.
These planes aren’t made anymore.
Sanctions = no replacement.
NATO just got stronger.
Putin just got humiliated.
Kent CC has been forced to cancel sessions because new Deform councillors didn’t understand the commitment was near full-time, with as many as four meetings a week!
As a result council work is simply not being done because these pathetic twats refuse to attend.
Elect Deform. Get bent.
Bigots hate three things:
Glitter
Joy
Being ignored.
Use all three wisely.
Happy Pride, babes 🏳️🌈✨
