Gotta disagree with Wen. For me, Peter Walker's article https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2026/jun/22/frozen-by-the-challenges-of-power-how-starmer-turned-triumph-into-tragedy is a weak example of the hagiography I expected from #TheGuardian. It's near zero on my #StarmerBingo https://mastodon.ie/@2legged/116789566259892526

Walker omits that #Starmer is a fraudster, led to power by a conspiracy of saboteurs. #LabourTogether isn't an "error" by Starmer; it's the entire basis of his leadership. Without #McSweeney's deceit & sabotage, Starmer would be a nobody.

But Anthony Seldon's comments are great.
