    Democrats have a narrow window to get a lot done. They face a unified GOP opposition. They have the slimmest of majorities. They can’t afford the luxury of recriminations. In 2022, they need to act for working people, the climate & voting rights. My column

    So perhaps the best way to view current polls is for what they say about Johnson’s future rather than the next election. I’d want to see Starmer’s ratings / Labour ‘ready for govt’ stronger before I buy 100+ seat gains. We’re in a new political environment though - no doubt 3/3

    Advent postcard 22, parties whether Christmas or summer are in the political news so here’s four times premier William Gladstone throwing a bash…or was it a work meeting?! Was wine and cheese a thing in the 1890s? This gathering was probably at Hawarden, not Downing Street.

    It is not and has never been true that Boris Johnson is somehow outside normal politics. He is unusually charismatic and has high name recognition but he's still a politician and seen as one. He's deeply unpopular now but he has never been a popular PM.

    This is the challenge for Labour - the Conservative brand, and Johnson in particular taking a battering but Labour's hasn't recovered.

    All this painful dragged out saga springs from a failure of character; the fantasy that real compromise is always unnecessary, that you can have your cake and eat it too + breaking your word doesn’t matter. Lack of character killed any hope of a more moderate and workable deal

    And that they won't face up to the fact that we can walk away from the Northern Ireland Protocol or we can have a zero tariff deal with the EU + good relations with the Biden administration but we can't have both 3/4
