This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

I’m calling on the UK Government to seriously review its presence on X (formerly Twitter) and then leave. It’s not just a communication channel anymore. Read more: www.politicshome.com/news/article... 1/10

Hang them in The Louvre #ScoDen

Put my dodgy shoulder out again when KT’s goal went in. That was very emotional Scotland. Well done boys #ScoDen

Love this! Our government are, for the first time in 15 years, human. They are like you and me. They know how to talk to everyday people, including children. And it's for all of us they are working to improve the country. www.instagram.com/p/DRCFzttFvoY/

So this is interesting from Robert Peston. The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong. As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

And tonight also with The Guardian and the smirking cretin Peston on ITV news.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

The BBC when there is a real scandal: takes years to do anything, drags its feet, is very defensive The BBC when the right wing goes for it: has a panic attack then throws itself on its sword immediately

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded. And we need to pay attention. The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

Imagine having such a twisted little mind that this seems an acceptable thing to say. People like Pauline are the danger to society.

Nigel Farage's hypocrisy exposed during PMQs. 🚨 Farage has earned more than £1.1 million through second jobs since the General Election, but he calls for cuts to the minimum wage for young people. Unbelievable.

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone. Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Tom Bradby, Joel Hills and Robert Peston sat there on ITV News like 3 nasty little school bullies on Rachel Reeves tonight. Peston actually saying at some point ‘people hate her’. Is he 12 years old? These misogynistic clowns are pathetic.

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

This from @lewisgoodall.com

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

I've created a 78 account starter pack for anyone wanting to find out what the Labour Government in the UK are ACTUALLY doing! - official government department / bodies accounts - personal accounts of secretaries of state and minsiters - official Labour party accounts - Labour Mayor accounts 1/2

You can spend all your money on fancy toys, but Atticus thinks these little cheap plastic multi coloured things are just the best.

Incredible work from James here.

@keesjekat.bsky.social How is baby Neelix today? Did he have a good night?

So finally the BBC apologises: they reached the logical end of their approach to the current government and went for an actual lie (on HIGNFY). The fact that nobody picked up on this at all before the programme aired shows how endemic the problem at the BBC is.

@lbc.co.uk from @mrjamesob.bsky.social calm and measured coverage of the appalling incident in Manchester, to Sheila Fogarty, who has without drawing breath, attempted to ignite the flames of division and hate, with regard to this tragic event. Not a good look…

🎯

Excellent to see @imogenwalker.bsky.social today at #LabourConference and talk about palliative and end of life care. We believe that everyone deserves to have the right care, at the right time, at the right place at the end of life. 💛

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

"He's a charlatan." Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar blasted Nigel Farage during an interview in the #POLITICOPub today during the party's annual conference in Liverpool. Watch the interview: www.youtube.com/live/d5pFuro... Read the story: www.politico.eu/article/scot...

Come on Europe 🇪🇺 ⛳️

So very pleased a big deal is being made about the Hillsborough law at the Labour conference in Liverpool. It's shocking it's taken 36 years for something like this. But Sir Keir Starmer and Labour promised this at the general election and they are delivering on that promise (as with many others)

This👇🏼is fab news for our young, giving them chance to live & work in EU which would Give them valuable language skills✅ Gain exposure to great training programs, learn different working practices to bring back ✅ Make them more employable in UK✅ So of course the Tories & Reform are against it❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

The UK Foreign Secretary explaining what she did at the United Nationals General Assembly this week and why these events need to happen. And a very important clip at the start.

Another journalist assuming what Labour members think. What I do think is I won’t be renewing my Guardian subscription next year, as I’m sick and tired of their negativity.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

Today the @liverpoolecho.co.uk hosted the Prime Minister and lots of school pupils from high schools across our region The questions were really good and elicited some strong responses from the PM www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

it was a joke but here we are

He’s done two shows though. In other one he defects to Reform

Watch this and be angry all over again at the corruption, greed and incompetence of the Tory government during Covid. The details are so extraordinary I couldn’t stop saying WTF. Appreciation for some proper investigative journalism👏👏

The special DNA of the British media. Let’s find the downside! £150bn investment in UK 5m extra NHS appointments Hillsborough Law Workers Rights London crime rate way down Greater protection for bees These things are important.

Love this! The Energy Secretary just having a phone call with a civil engineer apprentice, teaching us about apprenticeships and the importance of the energy sector!

✅ Day One rights ✅ Strengthening sick pay ✅ Banning Fire & Rehire and exploitative zero-hours contracts The biggest upgrade to workers’ rights for a generation will make a difference to my constituents in Hamilton and Clyde Valley, and people across our country. Labour will make work pay.

“Well done to Melania, the winner of tonight’s Bingo top prize of £20. Drinks are on you, eh, love! Next up is the Meat Raffle. But first, the owner of the silver Fiesta parked by the bins, you've left your lights on."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you have found your calling. Perfectly apt commentary for the occasion.

This was the emotional moment that Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed families of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster to 10 Downing Street on the day a law in their name will be introduced to Parliament

The Biggest Far Right March in British History. Worried? Here's how we stop them .... The Biggest Far Right March in British History paulmasonnews.medium.com/the-biggest-...

Foreign billionaires don’t get to incite violence against Britain. We cannot stay silent. 1/5 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.
