1. Authoritarian Babyism
2. A See Ya to Keir
3. Labour after Makerfield
4. On Cowardice
5. Right Riot
Coming out on top is the government's plans to curb social media use for teenagers. Typical authoritarianism from the most authoritarian and, as it turns out, brittle Prime Minister ever. Speaking of which, in at two is Keir Starmer's resignation timetable. I suspect most readers will not be sorry to see him go. Coming in at three is a post superseded by events, a what now? after Andy Burnham's by-election victory. At four and five respectively are interlinked posts. The first is on Labour's pathetic response to the far right and loyalist riots/pogroms in Southampton and Belfast and the second on the extremist efforts, which include that nice Mr Farage, in stirring something up.
Who gets the second chance this time? It's some friendly advice for Andy Burnham.
In July we can look forward to a new Prime Minister, so there will be politics aplenty that might motivate me to write a bit more than of late. Perhaps some science fiction novels might get a look in or, even rarer, some ramblings on matters other than politics.
