The Online Safety Act came into effect in July and insane censorship followed shortly after. Guido pointed out that Labour had previously suggested restrictions on the use of VPNs to bypass the draconian legislation. Peter Kyle caused an almighty row by claiming that Farage was ‘one the side of Jimmy Savile’ for his opposition to the OSA…
Zarah Sultana quit Labour for good to start a new party with Jeremy Corbyn. She did this without telling Jeremy Corbyn. Some days later he came round and confirmed that plans were indeed afoot to get ‘Your Party’ (temporary name) going…
Guido blew up the Motability scandal by revealing the full list of ‘conditions’ that people were getting their free BMWs which included numerous cases of ‘generalised anxiety’ and ‘tennis elbow.’ The real scandal of course is the disability benefits system which has gone fully insane…
The ‘Iron Chancellor’ cried actual tears in the House of Commons during PMQs all while Starmer declined to back her in the role for the whole parliament. There was widespread bewilderment in the Chamber, in the press briefing afterwards, and in Downing Street itself. The commentariat decided that the episode was in fact brilliant for Rachel Reeves because the markets – via gilt yields – expressed concern that she might go and be replaced by someone more left-wing. Do you think they got the nice bubbly out over in the Treasury…
The United States revoked Bob Vylan’s visa as the Glastonbury “death to the IDF” scandal continued to cause serious trouble for the BBC. Labour ministers turned on the corporation as it struggled to justify its decision to broadcast the full performance…
Half-way through the month the government finally publicly revealed that a secret third route for Afghans to be settled in the UK had been opened following a data leak. This meant that Afghans whose normal eligibility to go to the UK was not verified were settled in the country anyway. The story was blocked from publication by a super-injunction…
Essex Police were implicated after they escorted pro-migrant protesters to a demonstration against the housing of asylum seekers in Epping’s Bell Hotel. Labour was criticised for its handling of the long-running scandal…
Badenoch executed a long-awaited Shadow Cabinet reshuffle which saw a few Tory figures turfed out and the addition of some fresh blood.
Angela Rayner studiously pursued the foundation of a new Office of the Deputy Prime Minister which involved carting MHCLG civil servants to sit in a Cabinet Office room to work on Rayner’s policy pet projects. The Office was modelled on John Prescott’s from 2002. Sadly it never launched publicly – more on that later…
Labour announced its intention to lower the voting age to 16 which it may now be regretting considering that Labour is no longer the only viable left-wing kid on the block. Trump met Starmer in Scotland and gave the PM what amounted to a dressing down. Downing Street refused to publicise the meeting in any meaningful capacity…
Guido also kicked off reporting of freebies handed out to asylum seekers with the news that the borough of Battersea was handing discounts on electric rental bikes to them. Many many more examples would emerge over the summer…
Starmer said the UK would recognise Palestine in September after imposing some requirements on Israel but not Hamas. Adam Cherry also returned to Guido. Perhaps the most significant political news of the year…
