A fascinating essay by Adrian Wooldridge about the failure of elites that somehow manages to compare Profiles in Cowardice to Tacitus @opinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

“Journalists need to take some responsibility and have a good look at themselves about the way they behaved in the last few weeks.”
The UK media has contributed to the country’s “addiction” to “booting out” unpopular PMs that is making “stable long term government” impossible, says Keir Starmer’s biographer Tom Baldwin.

Wise Prince was a taking winner on his debut at @NottsRacecourse today to the delight of co-owner Rachel Hood, not that her husband, John Gosden, filled her with great confidence on the journey to the track. @nickluck 👇

I had such a treat tonight, watching “The Importance of Being Earnest” at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, starring you-know-who. Joyful. Proper night out

I’ve written this essay for The Observer on Keir Starmer’s first year as PM, the very private side to him that you don’t often see in public, and how he has learnt from the mistakes he has made. observer.co.uk/news/politics…

Good read from @tombaldwin66 on @Keir_Starmer first year. Tom has struck up a genuine relationship with KS over the years. Don’t think it would harm him if he could be this open with the country. And I am glad he admits “island of strangers” was a mistake. It felt wrong because it is and also because it is not him. I think people will understand why he made the mistake given the full context that day and good too that he is blaming nobody but himself. One of the lessons I hope all of them take from recent events re welfare is that the blame game helps nobody.
