Even some loyalist Labour MPs have privately expressed fears that Sir Keir Starmer is behaving like a lawyer, not a leader. On issues from deporting foreign criminals to the surrender of the Chagos Islands, the former barrister has come under fire for siding with the international courts. But, under growing public pressure, Starmer sharply changed his tune last month by issuing an uncharacteristic condemnation of the Sentencing Council.

As the nation marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day next month, descendants of Sir Winston Churchill will take part in a commemorative service alongside the Royal Family in Westminster Abbey. The Cabinet War Rooms bunker, used during the Blitz, will also feature, alongside the wartime leader’s birthplace, Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace. Events will further be held at Chartwell, Churchill’s much-loved home in the Kent countryside, now one of the National Trust’s most popular attractions.
ANDREW PIERCE: Will Angela Rayner stay mum about her Ritzy partying?

3 weeks ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Pierce

As Britain's first female deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner is a poster girl for social mobility. She certainly never misses a chance to highlight her rise from a humble upbringing on a Greater Manchester council estate or having a child at 16. 'I'm proud of my background. It informs my Labour values and our party's priorities,' is her oft-repeated rallying call.

As I tore open the brown envelope, three small black-and-white photographs slipped from a single sheet of paper on to my desk. I gazed at them and thought my heart might miss a beat. I was staring at a familiar-looking chubby child, barely a year old. He was smiling as he hung on to the playpen. Next to him was a cute blonde girl who didn’t look as happy. I stared and stared. Another photo showed the same boy on a blanket on a lawn, playing with two other boys. The little blonde girl was there, too.
ANDREW PIERCE: As the struggling Tories scramble for ideas to reinvigorate the party... will they go back to the future?

The Tories are flatlining in the polls under Kemi Badenoch and are now scrambling for ideas to reinvigorate the party. So where better to look than the winning campaigns of old? Today, little-known Tory party chairman Nigel Huddleston and the entire party board are heading to the Bodleian Library in Oxford to examine the official party archive. It features leaflets, handbills, car stickers, posters, manifestoes, and direct mail dating back to 1867 when the Earl of Derby was party leader.
Inside the battle for Reform: Exactly how Nigel Farage is taking the catfight that's torn apart his party and the very nasty briefings, revealed by ANDREW PIERCE | Daily Mail Online

Arriving in style by helicopter for the Cheltenham Gold Cup yesterday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was full of his trademark swagger and bluster. Behind the scenes, however, he has been less self-assured over recent days, having endured one of the most torrid periods of his political life. The suspension from Reform of Rupert Lowe, one of the most effective of the party’s five MPs, has not just hit membership and fundraising. It has also damaged Farage’s personal standing.
ANDREW PIERCE: Keir Starmer plays his Trump card ... Piers Morgan!

Crusty old diplomats in the Foreign Office, surely, or serpentine Lord Mandelson, our new ambassador to Washington. How about Piers Morgan? The PM was overheard inviting the rumbustious broadcaster to No 10 to share a few tips on ‘dealing with the Donald’, after the pair were both on Laura Kuenssberg’s BBC1 Sunday show earlier this month. Piers and the President go back some way. Morgan was crowned Trump’s ‘Best Business Brain’ in the opening series of The Celebrity Apprentice in 2008.
