Can this possibly be true? Starmer has, of late, read the (red wall) room well. This is not only tone deaf but would shockingly betray cause of women's rights, and not convinced it's driven by any genuine concern for social justice. I hope @LabWomenDec can clarify

Why Britain may never rejoin the EU
Bregret is widespread, much analysis assuming that public opinion is significant. But Britain is locked out of the EU and public opinion will change, potentially favouring the new status quo. 1/4

A pleasure to have @JohnCroninRUK in for a cuppa and a chat at @UKHouseofLords today. We talked all things politics, from #ULEZ stealth tax & anti-local #LTNs to the exorbitant cost of social care. As usual, John full of common sense.

Sadly, this tale of daft bureaucratic rules and jobsworths keen to enact them to the letter, is one we can all relate to. So frustrating and unnecessary. Flies in the face of common sense, let alone a bit of human decency. New year's resolution? Never be like that driver.
