About average for a new PM, probably a lot less than Johnson.
How much time has Keir Starmer been out of the country? Since Sept 1 Keir Starmer has been in: Ireland 1 day Italy 2 days Washington 2 days Berlin - 1 day Brussels - 1 day UNGA - 3 days Samoa - 5 days Budapest - 1 day France / COP - 2 days Next week G7 - 4 days  22 days on overseas trips since start of Sept to next Wednesday in that 77 day period.  In that same period the Commons sat 34 days This isn’t judgement about whether this is right or wrong (and we discuss pros and cons in the podcast)

Musk menace beautiful exposed @ByDonkeys
Holy shit this is INCREDIBLE work from @ByDonkeys. And bonus points for projecting the entire thing on @Tesla headquarters, effectively turning @elonmusk’s building’s most visible exterior side into a cinema screen to broadcast the tale of his corruption and political malfeasance

The Blairite aspiration to send half of all young people to university has backfired spectacularly. Spending three years detached from the real world spending someone else’s money is not always the best start to adult life. Academic learning & common sense are not the same thing.
