Will Keir Starmer fight on? Will Wes Streeting run? After that, can Reform win the next general election? Is the Green bounce real? The politics-as-sports predictions rumble on.

Andy Burnham offers Labour a refreshing new voice to reach lost voters – but with what message? | Rafael Behr

It will take more than blokeish affability to reach across the Brexit faultline that scars British politics Andy Burnham’s stint as health secretary in the final year of Gordon Brown’s government was not especially memorable, although one observation from a senior civil servant in the department at the time has stuck in my mind.

Losing votes to Restore, Farage seizes a golden opportunity to bring racists back into the fold

Mark Nowak had asked for his son’s murder not to be used to spread division. But Nige is just not the kind of guy to miss out The email invitation arrived shortly after 7am.
