The Latest Breaking News from Starmer

OPINION - Keir Starmer parties like it's [House of Lords Act] 1999

Perhaps it was because I watched it during the first week of lockdown, but I have a particular attachment to this BBC documentary on House of Lords reform, first aired in February 2000. It is a Michael Cockerell production, so you know it will be good, but it is even better than that.

OPINION - These nasty UK riots have revealed some worrying blind spots

To watch the UK in its present state from the vantage point of a holiday is a matter of shame: the images of crowds rampaging and threatening are on TV screens across the continent. The British state looks slow-footed, the police at the edge of control.

OPINION - Will Starmer's interventionist King's Speech actually boost economic growth?
