In Liverpool, the Labour Party hopes for hope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1983 general election, Labour presented itself to the voters with a bold slogan: “The New Hope for Britain”. It was a hope, however, that involved disarming the country and breaking our economic ties with Europe, and the voters of Britain naturally viewed such policies as a madness they would never inflict upon themselves. Labour lost three million votes and remained out of power for another 14 years. And so, when picking a new slogan for the Labour Party, you definitely want to avoid com
Has Andy Burnham actually broken the triple lock? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham has announced that he would “adjust” the triple lock policy on the state pension, and explained that this would be done in order to free up money for a national care service. This makes sense politically, because the triple lock is seen as something that protects the incomes of older people, and older people are also the most likely age group to need long-term social care. Does this actually amount to “breaking” the triple lock? Will it actually happen? And will it pay for a revolut
Everyone is blaming John Healey for the stink in the room (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Healey is in the uncomfortable position of a man who has just stepped into a lift in which someone else has recently farted. It wasn’t him, but everyone else who gets in is going to think it was him.

Read excerpt
“The Prime Minister still seems fairly well liked”, said the SNP’s leader in Westminster, Dave Doogan, during a question on the cost of living “and I’ll let you into a wee secret. I quite like the new Prime Minister”. Burnham smiled: “can I thank him for his faint praise, and say: it will get him, er, everywhere.” Doogan was not the only one who seemed prepared to give Burnham another relatively easy PMQs. There was more agreement from Ed Davey, who seems keen to engage with the Burnham doctrine
Why the triple lock is here to stay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like a dispute with a neighbour, the triple lock on the state pension was a perfectly reasonable situation to get into, but after 15 years it’s become a bitter, expensive nightmare. It was so easy, 15 years ago, to tell Martin from next door that his new fence was a bit big. And now you’re accusing Martin of poisoning your cat, and he’s demanding you pay his legal fees, and you’ll probably both have to move. Similarly the triple lock (which guarantees that the state pension will rise by inflatio
