This is very good from Patrick Maguire. thetimes.co.uk/article/f8b2be…

The test for Keir Starmer's missions will not come today or in 18 months' time.

It’s in 2029 and whether he can stand on the steps of Downing Street and convince people they are better off under Labour.

As the weather grows colder there's still plenty of nature to enjoy on your doorstep – find out more in my blog on wild cities in winter for RSPB here: community.rspb.org.uk/nature-on-your…

This is a really important piece from Florence Wilkinson.

Less than twelve hours after my son was born I was told to leave the hospital because COVID restrictions were still in place.

We do not talk enough about the impact that has is still having on women and their partners.

My son was six months old yesterday. He has already had two prime ministers and now apparently about to have his fourth chancellor.

I was six years old before I had lived through the same.

Wild.

I wrote about my love for the ‘ordinary’ creatures of our wild cities and what makes them extraordinary for London Wildlife Trust - read here ➡️ ow.ly/aXmK50KY9Bo 🐦🐿🐀

Labour must go after the Conservatives as the party that wrecked the economy, akin to Cameron and Osborne’s on Brown’s government. While Truss presides over economic decline, Starmer must promise growth.

Sorry to read this. Conor is one of the best. I miss working with him and Labour will miss him too. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Next week Britain will have a new prime minister and Labour will have a new opponent. The economy, competence and a message of change will be the dividing lines that matter most.

Me in The Guardian over the weekend.
