OMG! Is this post a first?
I don’t know why, but this feels qualitatively different. New. Urgent.
Just read it:
“I want every young person to have the opportunity to realise their full potential.
From training to apprenticeships, my government is building Britain’s future by investing in the next generation.
Our Plan for Change in action.“

Case as stated, I don't see that Khan has a problem. His term finishes in May 2028. He doesn't stand again, and applauds (or not, depends who wins) his successor and takes a short holiday. SKS must go to the country before July 2029, so announces, sometime in Spring 2029 that a) the election will be in May and b) that he's not going to stand. Khan is welcomed into his seat and off we go.
There was that other bloke who went from Mayor of London to PM fairly quickly, and he was a disaster, in part because being Mayor is a rubbish preparation for being PM.
The framing looks like the Telegraph stirring, because that's about all they do these days.
What does it do? How is it in action? If it’s in action surely it’s no longer a plan?
I sometimes wonder if Starmer’s young social media team is trolling their insufferably pompous boss, by putting out these quietly ridiculous tweets, which ape his inane, vacuous style, but tip them into self-satire
Although we appreciate people showing their patriotism, we cannot condone painting highways assets in this way," councillor Peter Mason, cabinet member for highways, said.
"This presents a safety and insurance issue and will have to be removed at the expense of the taxpayer."
He encouraged residents to "show their love for their country" in other ways such as flying a flag "in a safe way".
The Reform UK-led authority confirmed it was looking to remove the painting on the crossing as soon as possible.

But nobody notices or cares because there is no vision.
"I want every young person to realise their full potential" - why? What goals are we chasing?
I have No Clue what this government wants for Britain.
At least Jenrick and Farage have a clear vision, namely to fly flags on every lamp post in the land and whiten the nation for the racists.
And Susannah Geckeloids.
Now, remember, that this is going to apply for every other contentious political discourse on Twitter.
And the Mail, Sun, Express and even the Times have gone bananas over it. Uppity woman. Doesn't she know her place. Telegraph - "Angela Rayner adds to property empire."

Perhaps you could critique my use of tense. "Send" would be more appropriate than "sent". I claim a typo. But my point nonetheless stands, these children on Halfords dinghies are not coming onto my beaches. If they travelled from France they can go back to France.
I was tempted to play the man again there but I desisted.
“The Child Winter Heating Payment is:
- Provided all the way up to 19 (inc. those on *Adult* Disability Payment)
- Given per PERSON, not per household
- Available for those in the EEA & Switzerland with "sufficient link" to Scotland
- Given automatically with no application needed”
A welfare payment for enduring Scottish winters given to every child, even if you no longer live in Scotland. Or indeed the UK. And even if you’re not a child
If this is true, it becomes less mystifying as to why we’re bankrupt

Which of these tabloids have made a front page story of that?
She’s lamenting a shortage of housing, while in charge of it. She’s a hypocrite.

Our Plan for Change is about putting working people first.
The £3 bus fare cap has already cut costs for families.
We’re extending it — making travel simpler, cheaper and better for everyone.
Note, with link to government source:
The bus fare cap rose from £2 to £3 in January 2025, under Keir Starmer's government.
Therefore bus fare costs have actually risen for families.

It's not a 'plan for change in action'. That would be gobbledegook.
It's our Plan for Change ... in action. Some tangible results from our Plan for Change. The caps are key here. Note the caps.
£5.95 inc VAT
30 days
Top tip: With cheap advances on Northern, the train can be cheaper than the bus.
It's not really means-tested benefits like this that are causing us issues though in Scotland, and it's likely the best "bang for your buck" you could go for in terms of reducing child poverty and helping vulnerable kids.
It costs about £10 million a year. Meanwhile the WFP costs about £2000 million per year.
Or a Change for Action Planning Plan?
Or a Plan For Plans In Action Change Investment?
In fact what’s wrong with actually doing something? Actually doing a total Action Change for Plans Investment Government Plans In Action Change in Plan for Young People Tomorrow Planned Action Change Investment?
Why the fuck can’t they just do that?
A Labour MP rents out flats with black mould and ant infestations, the BBC has discovered.
Jas Athwal, the newly-elected MP for Ilford South, owns 15 rental flats, making him the biggest landlord in the House of Commons.
In one block of seven flats owned by Mr Athwal nearly half the tenants said they had to regularly clean their bathroom ceilings to remove mould.
Mr Athwal has now also admitted his flats do not have the correct property licences required under a scheme he introduced as Redbridge Council leader.

"Whence" sounds a little more erudite
"From whence" sounds like an ignorant attempt at erudition
Just a handy hint for you

Watching the Faragists parade outside hotels is as close to an all time low as it gets. Moreso when you see what demonising 'the other' looks like on our TVs every night.
How careful was I, when I took my way,
Each trifle under truest bars to thrust,
That to my use it might unused stay
From hands of falsehood, in sure wards of trust!
But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are,
Most worthy comfort, now my greatest grief,
Thou, best of dearest and mine only care,
Art left the prey of every vulgar thief.
Thee have I not lock’d up in any chest,
Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art,
Within the gentle closure of my breast,
From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part;
And even thence thou wilt be stol’n, I fear,
For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear.
"I've already dragged fifty youngsters back into the Bristol Channel and sent them whither they came."
Secondly that, either way round, Farage v Rayner at PMQs would have us queueing round the block. Proper box office. Better even than the underused and underrated Angela Eagle in her prime, or Hague.

(Edit: I see I am second to that one)
These are important questions.
It’s a payment to help disabled children and young people and their families with increased heating costs over winter.
Children and young people in Scotland can get the assistance if they're under 19 years old and get one of the following 'qualifying benefits':
the highest rate of the care component of Child Disability Payment
the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance for children
the enhanced daily living component of Personal Independence Payment
the enhanced rate of the daily living component of Adult Disability Payment
Never let fact get in the way of a rabble-rousing argument, but it’s what I would expect from a fiction writer.
It might have something to do with Rip Torn
"return them whence they came" has about 150 Google Books search results (granted, some repeats from different editions of the same book)
"return them whither they came" has zero
Running what there is already brilliantly well would be a very popular move; people distrust 'change' as a concept when aired by people who don't do the current job all that well.
To be honest I can see that if a parent of child eligible for such a benefit takes a job somewhere else in Europe then there's a case for the benefit being paid, although if the parent has moved the family somewhere like Spain then the likelihood of increased heating costs in winter seems lower.
