Well expressed by @OliverKamm  re Starmer's choice of Ruth Smeeth to introduce his "conference speech"

How can this government criticise Labour’s “illegal wars” when it’s breaking international law itself? @indypremium 

Some of Sunak’s subtext was serious and not v coded

Our World In Data has excess mortality figures (I think these are new)

What Rishi Sunak said yesterday – and what he meant

Some governments respect international law, and others don’t. Me for @indypremium 

Care home manager on @GloriaDePiero  on @TimesRadio : staff now being tested weekly, but it’s pointless because results take a week

Fine profile of Graham Brady, Tory backbenchers’ rep, by @AndrewGimson 

The government is playing politics with our armed forces – and looking to embarrass Labour@indypremium
