In 2018 the Government ran a voter ID trial in Bromley. Firearms certificates were valid forms of ID, but student cards weren't. Mortgage certificates were; rent books weren't. Over-60s bus passes were, but not young person's railcards. This is how voter suppression works.

It's 38 years ago today that Sir Geoffery Howe wrote his infamous memo about the managed decline of Liverpool. The Tories went on to implement this. Liverpool's fortunes were transformed by two things: EU Objective One funding in 1994 and the Labour government in 1997.

Starmer’s leadership one year in.
Two take always:
- Starmer inherited a Labour Party more than 20 points behind the Tories. He’s closed that gap to 6 points.
- Starmer is well outpolling Corbyn one year in - and performing better than Miliband was after a year.
