@CelticFCWomen I’ve been trying to buy tickets for this game for two days, but there’s nowhere on the linked site that is offering tickets. Can you turn up tomorrow and pay?
Been reflecting on Starmer’s speech.
I can’t remember a Labour leader not even mentioning their Tory opponent in their set-piece speech of the year.
I asked AI to search all digital records, and it appears to never have happened before.
Labour’s strategy appears clear on this.
@heraldscotland@_RebeccaMcCurdy I’ve volunteered at this shelter for three years. It’s not an asylum seekers shelter. It’s a shelter for anyone who is hungry or homeless, some from Glasgow, others from further afield. Why have you published such a misleading story?
The best reshuffles have a theme and go on to act as a launch for a refreshed government. Keir Starmer’s first big reshuffle may be such a moment.
I've set out my thoughts on how this moment could define the next phase of government on LinkedIn

I served as Minister for Europe at the UK FCDO, responsible for relations with Russia, and as Shadow Secretary of State for Defence for four years.
As Exec. Chair of @ArdenStrategies I work closely with the Chair of our Defence Practice, former DG of RUSI, Dr @Karin von Hippel
The Strategic Defence Review has taken longer than many anticipated. Now it must inject pace into the entire UK defence establishment.
After all, Russia is producing roughly one battle tank and 2,000 shells every working hour, and many are being placed into a strategic reserve.
The Dems failed because they went into the election without any economic message where the economy was the No1 concern and when real wages had fallen far below inflation.
Joe Biden stood down too late and too early.
Too late for the Dems to pick a candidate they genuinely believed in at a Convention.
Too soon ‘cos the initial feel-good vibes couldn’t survive the 95 days of scrutiny she was put under. 1/2
