OPINION - Rachel Reeves' Hammersmith Bridge vow shows Labour's conundrum
The shadow chancellor appeared on the radio this morning and, when asked about a crumbling corner of the public realm, agreed it was bad and said a Labour government would fix it. Now, Reeves was referring to Hammersmith Bridge, which for £250m might be able to transport cars across the Thames in five years' time. It's just that there is a fundamental tension between its central critique of the Conservatives (Liz Truss plus they have overseen a collapse in the public realm) and the core Tory attack (that Labour governments cannot be trusted to run the economy).

Upside-down flag at Justice Alito's home another blow for Supreme Court under fire
The revelation this week about the flag flying at Alito’s home was the latest blow to a Supreme Court that was already under fire as it considers unprecedented cases against Trump and some of those charged with rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Alito has said the flag was briefly flown by his wife amid a dispute with neighbors and he had no part in it. The high court is now facing questions about whether the spouses of two of its members question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, and if those justices should be hearing cases related to the Jan. 6 riot and Trump’s role in it.
