## Resource

Ian Collins unpacks the latest as Tony Blair warned Starmer lacks a coherent plan, urging radical centrism on welfare, growth, migration, energy and defence. He said replacing Starmer alone would be irrelevant, as Labour’s leftward drift risks Britain’s global relegation. Meanwhile, Reform’s Zia Yusuf rebuked Robert Jenrick, exposing internal splits over deportations before the Makerfield by-election.
