@leninology I'm guessing he'll try and ham it up as an end of the Pier show. Being in a battle with Count Binface probably hurts him less than other politicians. If everything gets reduced to the level of farce it might work in his favour somehow. But, yes, still looks like desperate gamble.
“Burnham has Scottish and Welsh MPs who don’t want to give Holyrood and the Senedd more powers, and want him to work directly with local authorities instead. That’s actually an anti-devolution move in the context of those countries" -Prof Richard Wyn Jones theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

A monstrous ride 🤯 Zoe Bäckstedt wins the Women’s British National Road Championship in sensational style, launching a huge solo chase of Josie Knight before riding clear to add the road title to her time trial victory earlier in the week 💪
I knew Lara as a child in the Angus glens. Her cousin was one of my best friends growing up. Many Scots find our accents blend and shift depending on context.
The new Scottish nationalist MP for Arbroath is an English woman who puts on a fake Scottish accent
into hard authoritarian positions that neither could have imagined ten years ago. More importantly, the UK is being driven by this cultural dynamic, which most of the established media and political establishment don't understand and can't control. There will be more like Starmer
Politicians don't shape the culture wars (even if they sometimes inflame and profit from them). Rather, the dynamic of the schism forces them into positions. In their different ways both Matt Goodwin and Keir Starmer show how people can be swept almost against their volition 2/
10 years on from the referendum, the pre-existing divide between social 'conservatives' and 'liberals' that it revealed and heightened is governing British political and social life. The career & resignation of Starmer is just the latest manifestation of that cultural dynamic. 1/
Ch 4, ‘The Brexit Divide’, shows how the rise of English nationalism drove the vote to leave EU and has created a permanent schism between socially conservative authoritarian nationalism and socially liberal cultural progressives, which has collapsed the old 2-party politics. 5/
'I inherited a Labour party that was politically, financially and morally bankrupt' said Keir Starmer. It shows he has hated not just the Left, but the whole party. Far from saving it, he has led it to its worst results for more than one hundred years.
@SionJobbins Not Lab either but he had already alienated Lab left. The high expectations of a Lab govt were immediately undermined by bad decisions. Starmer deliberately went for authoritarian sound bites and positions. Mandelson affair was a disaster because they knew when they appointed him
@richardmarcj @politicshome I think it will be impossible for Labour to pursue the old-style politics of 'class, solidarity, community, nation, social obligation' without being dragged into increasingly authoritarian positions as under Starmer. The value split is now fundamental to Britain.
Recent riots targeting Muslims and immigrants have often centered on Britain’s poorest areas. Their hatred is directed not against deprivation but against minorities accused of being unjustly favored. jacobin.com/2026/06/uk-bel…

#OtD 7 Jun 1968 women workers at Ford's Dagenham plant in England walked out on strike for equal pay with men. The strike led to the Equal Pay Act of 1970, although pay equality at Ford was only achieved after a later strike in 1984 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10719/…

'The latest British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey found Reform voters were most distinguished by their cultural attitudes, suggesting support for the party was more than a “protest” vote.' It's not economic. It's a culture war.

#OtD 30 May 1381 tax collector John Bampton attempted to collect Poll Tax in Brentwood, Essex (UK) and ended up sparking the Peasants' Revolt. The mass uprising took until November for the government to suppress stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10313/…
