This article in the Guardian may provide a hint that could explain some recent Starmer sound bites relating to both the civil service and planning . Essentially the articles lesson is that Trump was elected because he promised change ,was seen as a disruptor and that Starmer needs to come...
Just been starting to read about this governments planning reforms.
Comes across as out of the Tory playbook.
Its the imo right wing view that the planning system and right to object/ comment on planning objections that's holding up development
The free market rag City AM is loving this...
Hard agree about Starmer's legacy. I also agree the attacks on the poor, disabled, and migrants are a huge betrayal (if it's possible to be betrayed by someone you distrust absolutely), but I'm all in favour of the war with farmers and want to see it pursued vigorously and extended to the...
Good post. The above is spot on.
The bind is twofold. Most significantly, the existential problem is that elite liberalism doesn’t actually have a vision, a project, a plan for what it wants to do beyond capturing power and some managerial tinkering at the margins. It’s an empty shell of policy...
Elite liberalism sounds the first alarm of panic. As usual the issue is perception/communication/social media/the revolting plebs/Starmer’s personality free zone.

"Sir Kier" - can we do without all this forelock-tugging first name shite. Call him Starmer or Kier Starmer FFS. It's like people saying 'Boris' or 'Rishi' just fuck off.
...The Telegraph understands the decision was taken after media reports revealed she had not told the full story over the conviction to Sir KeirStarmer. The exact nature of the new information is not known.
However, The Times was told there had been more than one incident involving a missing...
A conditional discharge would be filtered after 11 years from DBS checks, whereas a suspended sentence would never be filtered. Dunno if this was a factor... Maybe if a conviction was highly likely.
Someone making a mistake and thinking something had been stolen in, say, a mugging or burglary or whatever, and reporting an item stolen in the confusion/immediate aftermath, which subsequently turns out not to have been stolen, is fairly understandable, surely.
That would be a low level...
It’s more a statement of fact than a dig. She was a dead woman walking the minute she (rightly) highlighted the scandalous employment practices of P&O.
She’d also, I read, written to Starmer about Reeves cuts to non-protected departments.
Amazingly, weeks later an ancient event regarding two...
...no other choice given the situation that we’re in.
So those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden.

Appropriately enough (to Pickman's model point above) this Substack entry today from Peter Geoghegan neatly draws the line of New Labour corruption straight into the Starmer fold:
