I read Keir Starmer’s recent article claiming Labour is the true party of English patriotism with rising disbelief, both at his lack of vision for our country, and also his apparent reluctance to even name it. My piece in

Happy St George's Day! This should be a day everyone in England can celebrate together, whatever our backgrounds & whether born here or not. All too often Englishness is hijacked by the Right. My new book,

, is my attempt - however small - to try to take it back🏴

So it looks like battle over
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23RwandaBill
might be over - govt rejected Lords amendment on safety of Rwanda by 312 to 237, while Labour has accepted a “compromise” on Afghan interpreters which will do precisely *nothing* for those still waiting to get out of Afghanistan

Starmer’s claim that Labour is the true party of English patriotism would be more persuasive if he didn’t muddle English & British throughout whole article. They’re not the same & I explore implications for English identity in my new book

After all the corruption we've seen from the Tory party and everything they've done to bring our NHS to its knees, Sunak dares to suggest it's the sick who can't work who are the problem? The very people he and his party have let down so badly? The sheer nerve of it.
