Welcome to the new Reform roadshow. Same as the last but more desperate | John Crace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nige is not rattled that the UK likes its new PM. Or that Reform is second in the polls. Oh no. Because Nige believes in Nige Nearly 10 years ago, Nigel Farage told LBC he would leave the country if Brexit were not a stunning success. For reasons that no one can quite fathom, he is still here. Could it be that he is a man who can’t be trusted to keep his word? Surely not. Nige wants you to know he’s very much still around. He might have been a bit quiet over the past few weeks, as Reform had to
Do parents make the politician? Find out on the Today programmeâs psychotherapy couch | John Crace (opens the original)

Dadâs the word for Andy Burnham, so maybe all party leaders should be seen afresh through a Freudian lens Is this the sketch my father would have wanted? Not something I have previously given much thought to. He died 15 years before I even started this job. But my guess is that it is. He was the loveliest of men who only ever wanted for me what I wanted for me. He was stupidly proud of even my most forgettable successes. I still see him in my dreams, cheering me on.

Nothing was off the table, no coded hints, and by the end no one could be in any doubt about what Burnham believed You’ve got to hand it to Andy Burnham. He left nothing out on the pitch. It would have been so easy to play it safe. To deliver a traditional leader’s speech to a home crowd. One we’ve been seeing from leaders of all parties for more than 15 years. Something warm, a feelgood vibes word salad with the odd minor spending announcement thrown in. Hell, the Labour conference would have p
Reality pays a visit to the Labour party conference, but itâs the âHope Againâ that kills you (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most MPs are clinging to this yearâs Beckettian slogan, but the chancellor brought his own brand of despair It could be just me, but Iâm beginning to find that all this âhopeâ stuff is getting me down. Everywhere you go at the Labour party conference, you are being urged to âHope Againâ. Itâs on the screens in the main hall and on banners in the exhibition area. Itâs on T-shirts, balloons and coffee mugs. Itâs all just a bit much. Overkill. You now bump into Labour MPs who are
Burnham refreshes the parts others canât reach on the Andy and Laura show | John Crace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The PM oozes confidence and easy-going charm as he tells Laura Kuenssberg the hill heâll die on is fixing social care In recent weeks there has been much speculation in some parts of the media that Andy Burnham would call an early general election. Speculation that existed largely in the heads of those writing the stories, as even the most favourable polls suggest Labour would lose its huge majority and become the largest party in a coalition government. But to stop the chatter dominating his
