‘It hurts’: Starmer loyalist Phillipson fights on despite cabinet demotion
Exclusive: The minister for women and equalities has also been handed the role of Labour chair, in a not-so subtle bid to restore unity to Burnham’s governmentIf Bridget Phillipson is angry at losing a job – which, in the brief honeymoon period at the start of Keir Starmer’s Labour government, she called the “honour of my life” – she is doing a good job of hiding it.“It hurts to lose a job you love,” she says on Tuesday. “Being education secretary was amazing … and I’m really proud of what we ac

The UK has an adult PM again prepared to speak to voters as fellow adults
Andy Burnham wants to fix social care. If he does this and nothing else he would have achieved more than most other UK leadersIt feels like the UK has a prime minister again. Not the Maybot paralysed with indecision. Not the clown-like Boris Johnson who crumbled under the weight of his own narcissism. Not the ridiculous Liz Truss. Not the steamrollered Rishi Sunak for whom everything was impossible. Not the automaton-like Keir Starmer who was never entirely sure what he wanted to do.But a prime

‘Terminally online’: why frustrated Greens want Polanski to hand over his social media
As Labour enjoy a ‘Burnham bounce’, post by Green leader that appeared to welcome violence against Nigel Farage has left some supporters bemused It is just coincidence that a very public mishap by Zack Polanski arrived at the same time as new polls showed Labour in the lead. But it did neatly illustrate the point that while Andy Burnham is enjoying a political honeymoon, the Green leader’s now seems over.This is not to say the Green party in England and Wales is too worried about the arrival of

Suddenly the British right feels a political chill. It’s getting cold in Andy Burnham’s shadow | Rafael Behr
The Tories and Reform had it easy when Keir Starmer was self-destructing – but a new PM with ideas exposes how vacant the opposition has becomeAndy Burnham’s recollections of Britain in the 1970s must be pretty hazy. He was nine when the decade ended. Kemi Badenoch, born in 1980, can remember nothing. Lacking first-hand experience, the Conservative leader evokes the turmoil of a bygone era with cautionary zeal borrowed from an older generation. In a speech last week, she accused the new prime mi

‘Farage’s got to come clean or clear off’: what voters on Clacton beach think about their MP – and the country
Nigel Farage’s constituency takes in genteel resorts and one of England’s poorest villages. With a snap byelection approaching, what do the residents want from the Reform UK leader – or the bin who’s challenging him?‘If it’s the Tin Man, then I suppose I’ll vote for Nigel,” says a Clacton resident, a retiree on a slow stroll towards the seafront, when I ask whom she will vote for in the forthcoming byelection. “I would sooner have Farage than the Tin Man!” As political slogans go, it is as good
