Keir Starmer is infuriating a group of people whom Lord (previously John) Spellar, a former MP and minister, likes to describe as the “MICE”: members of the Metropolitan Intellectual Cultural Elite.

Like death and taxes, speculation about an alliance between the Conservatives and Reform UK is unavoidable. Now that Suella Braverman has spoken enthusiastically about the need for a united Right-wing in Britain to emulate the electoral success – and legislative agenda – of Donald Trump, this is a topic that will dominate Conservative circles for the foreseeable future.

There will be many protests in and around Washington, DC, today, as the country’s new(ish) president is inaugurated. It remains to be seen if the various public, performative tantrums that marked Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration will be enshrined in amusing online memes in 2025. One hopes so. Because there are few things that encapsulate the entitlement and arrogance of America’s Left than its broadly unhinged response to losing an election. The protests were already in full sway yesterday.

One of the reasons conservatives have steadily lost power to the left over the past 50 years is because we have not made a proper study of the tools used against us. In an effort to help correct this situation, this is part one of a three-part series that will examine what happened and how we can effectively fight back in the climate change debate.

Step forward Sadiq Khan, the latest high-profile Labour politician to give Reform UK an undeserved publicity boost. At this rate Nigel Farage’s party won’t need even a fraction of the cash that Elon Musk once dangled in front of them as a possible donation. The latest incident that would have got Farage offering high-fives to whoever was standing near him occurred at City Hall, where the Mayor of London was taking questions from assembly members.

No one was particularly surprised that when Keir Starmer was bowled an easy under-arm ball yesterday by the press, he failed to hit a six, or even a four. Asked whether Rachel Reeves would be Chancellor until the end of this parliament, the Prime Minister had absolutely nothing to lose by replying with an unequivocal “yes”, even if, at some point in the next few years, he decided to change his mind.

It was always inevitable that Labour’s staunch opposition to a full national inquiry into the rape gangs scandal was going to weaken in time. But few predicted it would unravel quite this quickly. First of all, although Keir Starmer has himself given no quarter to those demanding such a move, his official spokesperson this week did suggest to reporters that the prime minister was “open minded” about an inquiry, which surprised some of those listening.

This Government desperately needs a win. This is a political imperative, not just because of the latest unforced error over ministers’ refusal to hold a national inquiry into the rape gang scandal, or even because of the latest depressing economic news.

Tactical voting is the closest Britain will get to a progressive alliance Credit: Godalming Ash Elections Like the turning of the seasons, demands from the Left-wing think tank Compass that Labour must embrace its political opponents in order to guarantee a progressive future is a reliable and somehow comforting event. Reliable because Compass has been banging the same drum for more than a decade now: Labour should work with the Liberal Democrats and the Greens in order to build a progressive...
