I think we are so used to media with a left or right slant that BBC/Sky/Itv news becomes quite boring when they try to please everyone.I try to watch all news from every side. Terrestrial news used to work but it just leaves everyone unhappy now.

Who would trust big corporations with this idea?They would immediately use human behavioural experts to increase profits from such a scheme.

Lord Glasman currently on Times Radio.🤔

Labour in a catch 22 situation.Progressive values work in London but boldly asserting them in many places gets you nowhere.

Would people jump from the Greens,Libdems & Tories to Rejoin EU? Some would have to vote Labour for the first time and others forgive Starmer all his failings. If it does not work what are Labour left with post defeat?

The perception is that Polanski has adopted Corbyn's anti Israel politics and antisemitic followers. The perception of Farage is he is aligned with the other parties on tackling antisemitism.

Awful post.No ifs or buts and then throws in Palestine.

The media seem to think politics is the same as football.A few bad results and you change the manager.Starmer will stay for at least another year but I dont think it will benefit Labour or the country.

These people dont go away.His new venture is Alex Jones Live. www.ms.now/news/the-lig...

Reform probably reaching saturation point on X and attacked by Restore followers. I think Farage knows he can gain more voters from TikTok with more casual followers of politics.

The deck was stacked against these new media outlets.When outlets like Vox,Buzzfeed,Huff Po etc.launched the media were alreday in trouble because of the transition from print to Internet.There is only so much news people will read.

I really do not understand why people post the Mail newspaper front page.The only people who read it or are influenced by it are 75 years and older.The battle for the next election is on YouTube,Facebook,X and Tiktok.

Starmer really does take the blame for this defeat.Blocked Burnham purely through self interest and slowly destroying the party.

Every good politician should want Josh Simons kicked out of politics for good.The Labour Together story is shocking.Hiring people to damage Labour & journalists careers is unforgivable.

The only positive is that when a Tiktoker is saying something dramatic or inaccurate about a new or interesting subject you can use Google to find out the accurate story or subject.

What is so stupid about this awful stuff is that McSweeney & Co.did not need to attackThe Canary or The Times.Starmer was always going to be Labour leader & the Tories were going to be kicked out of office.

Labour advisors & activists destroying all trust in politics.

Why does the establishment media always want every party to tack to the centre where everyone else is? Part of the attraction of the Greens is that they are anti war & against nuclear weapons.

All the poor comms stuff is making excuses for Starmer's quite obvious personal failings.He does not connect with voters,he has zero empathy,no charisma,no ideology,he is dishonest and has no positive story to tell.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Musk hates free advertising for X & Grok AI? Outrage sells.

Morning.

This lack of funding for courts reflects really badly on Starmer with his background.

I hope Keir Starmer is not expecting massive post PM earnings for speaking.

When European companies have failed to develop their own tech then its impossible to move away from US companies. There is to much regulation & Europeans lack the entrepreneurial drive that Americans have & US attracts from elsewhere.

Why people dont post about certain issues.

"We want housing to remain scarce and very expensive "

Exhibit A

To many politicians are trained at university.They think the same,dont take risks,comform to the orthodoxy and lack real life experience in running a business,being a trade unionist or other profession.This also makes it an unattractive option for successful people to enter politics. Closed shop.

Two narratives that will not harm Farage & Reform. "Farage was a prime mover behind Brexit" "Farage said racist remarks at school" They are attacks that reinforce the position of Farage & Reform as outsiders going up against the establishment parties.

This is how you dont go after Farage. Galvanises his base supporters and converts voters who are not sure about voting Reform but decide the establishment will try anything to stop Reform. Criticising Farage & Reforms policies would be more productive.

A lengthy article about politicians & their advisers getting involved in positions of power at the BBC. Like most recent articles and comments about the BBC it demonstrates the BBC is not fit for purpose as a unbiased state broadcaster.Let the BBC become independent& free from political interference

This is no innocent remark.Calculated to put pressure on Starmer for the May election results.

Labour comms are poor because the message Labour are trying to sell is so poor.Blair & Cameron both had a clear message and product to sell.

Why do Starmer & Reeves look so nervous in front of camera?They know that the magical growth is not going to happen,cuts will be required & their MPs will not vote for cuts.They know their jobs are on the line.

This would have mattered 10 years ago.Next election will be won on Youtube,podcasts,X, Tiktok,Facebook and content friends share.

The impact of AI on the Professional Managerial Class could be dramatic in the next few years.Could see more voters drifting towards Reform or the Greens if redundancies are widespread & fewer graduate jobs are required.

Not really a fun stat for any of the care workers.They know their wages are going to stay low because there is a never ending supply of workers prepared to live in an HMO on the minimum wage. Another benefit for big business carehome owners.

Crankery is much more common now thanks to the lies told by politicians and experts during the covid pandemic.Farage's comment will only be disliked by people who would never vote for him.

Private school-University-Graduate job makes it more likely you have a privileged upper middle class life. Sunak & Starmer offer complex technical solutions.Practical people look for alternatives when technical solutions do not work.

It was not long ago people were told to "learn to code" when they lost their job. Learn to be a plumber or skilled job with your hands is probably the best advice now.

McSweeney,Reeves & Kendall will all eventually go because that is the narrative that will allow Starmer to not take the blame.McSweeney is only and advisor.Starmer takes the key decisions and ultimately takes responsibility for success and failure.

Pure distraction.If the aim is to keep Reform out of power then the Labour government has to improve enough people's lives in a meaningful way.That is why Thatcher and Blair were so successful.

Starmer and Reeves look terrible in front of the camera.Nervous and unconvincing.The nation needs confidence that their plans are going to work.
