James Cartlidge getting hung out to dry by Victoria Derbyshire, as he tried to bullshit his way out of the fact that the tory govt decimated our military, and that Kemi Badenoch would have had us involved in an illegal, catastrophic war #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Quite refreshing to hear a proper journalist grill a government minister in a grown-up manner, without resorting to lame attempts at childish gotchas Give Victoria Derbyshire this gig permanently please BBC #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Wes Streeting on with Victoria Derbyshire, and not looking wholly shocked that Donald Trump and JD Vance are not the expert negotiators they claimed to be Quick to chuck in the 'not our war' line too, and rightly remind everyone Nigel Farage & Kemi Badenoch backed it #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

PROPER JOURNALISM ALERT: Victoria Derbyshire is standing in for Laura Kuenssberg this morning This is not a drill #BBCLaurak is safe to watch #BBCBreakfast

Tom Skinner on #bbcqt, now Zia Yusuf on Laura Kuenssberg What is it about unelected representatives of Reform appearing on BBC shows? I wonder if John McAndrew, former head of Reform propaganda channel GB News, and Robbie Gibb appointee, might know? #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

The only minor consolation of having the awful Michael Gove on Laura Kuenssberg this morning, is that it offers a reason to revisit this classic #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

The whole purpose of Laura Kuenssberg this morning seems to be to make people panic as much as possible about war and energy Now, Kemi Badenoch, whose bootlicking of Donald Trump would have had us fully involved in this war, making everything far worse #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Laura Kuenssberg ignoring the advice from Bridget Phillipson, and trying to panic her audience into believing there are going to be fuel shortages More irresponsible scaremongering masquerading as journalism #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

Ed Miliband having a reasonable tilt at trying to get through an entire interview, without calling Donald Trump an orange shit gibbon who hasn't got a clue what he's doing in the Middle East, or anywhere for that matter #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Because The BBC are all about impartiality and balance, I've no doubt there will be a feature on Laura Kuenssberg at some point, about the story on Reform's patriotic, man of the people, Richard Tice #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Whatever your thoughts on Starmer, The UK is much more likely to handle this Iran shit show in a rational fashion with him as PM Supposed patriots like Kemi Badenoch, and Nigel Farage for that matter, would have just done whatever Trump told them to #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Kemi Badenoch: "In case you haven't noticed, this party is under new leadership now" Keir Starmer: "Well yes, a lot of them certainly have a new leader, they're sat over with their new party now" LOL #PMQS #PoliticsLive #ReformUK

Gutted I missed the combative interview between Laura Kuenssberg & Boris Johnson, where she challenged him over revelations in the Epstein Files about his collusion with Steve Bannon to undermine UK democracy I only missed it, because it never happened #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Did I go to bed and wake up in 2022? Why is Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Boris Johnson? Is the greased piglet on the grift? Has the scruffy sack of shit run out of money again? Why would we need to hear his thoughts on anything? #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

I'm quite enjoying the overwhelming contempt that Billy Bragg clearly has for Jake Berry, who seems to be struggling to remember which party he represents these days, as he repeatedly defends the woeful record of the previous govt #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

An initially interesting interview with Yvette Cooper predictably pivots to the usual BBC News agenda Why are we having to endure Laura Kuenssberg anyway? Thought it was Victoria Derbyshire today? You can't go making promises like that and then not delivering #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Kemi Badenoch hasn't thought those seat placings through Nobody is listening to a word she is saying, as most people are looking at Mark Francois, sat immediately alongside her, and wondering what the fuck he is doing there #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Still huge amounts to do, but 'members of the public aren't seeing any change', because even in the areas where progress has been made, the likes of Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason, Henry Zeffman & co simply don't report it The Robbie Gibb effect #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

Kemi Badenoch states that the appointment of Peter Mandelson harmed the 'special relationship' with The US Given that Donald Trump features in the Epstein files even more than Mandelson, and no doubt approved, if not requested his appointment, I doubt that #PMQs #PoliticsLive #EpsteinFiles

Whether you'd vote for him or not, Zack Polanski has undoubtedly added an important extra perspective to political conversation in this country, which can only be a good thing #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

As Davos is high on the agenda of Laura Kuenssberg this morning, presumably she'll be discussing the fact that Nigel Farage attended to 'stick it to the elites & globalist billionaires', only to find out he was there on behalf of a globalist billionaire #BBCLauraK #bbcbreakfast

Kemi Badenoch: "I showed strong leadership when faced with disloyalty & sacked Robert Jenrick." Keir Starmer: "She'd just read the resignation letter he'd left on the photocopier. What else was she going to do? Correct the typo's & hand it back to him?" 😄 #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Such disingenuous, cheap point scoring from Kemi Badenoch The tories & Reform might as well speed up the slow, painful merger that is currently taking place, & then all the unpatriotic, pro-Trump, bandwagon jumpers can be together #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Kay Burley says Boris Johnson reckons that outside of Parliament, no-one cares about MP defections Just a thought, but their actual constituents who voted for them & who they were elected to represent might? Tells you everything about the Westminster & media bubble #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Nigel Farage didn't get clearance from his handlers in Moscow and Washington to make an appearance this morning So it's left to Richard Tice to awkwardly row back on their unpatriotic support of Trump It's quite painful to listen to #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

"I'm a bit horrified by what you've just said" Good to see, Lisa Nandy refusing to take the childish bait from Laura Kuenssberg on a number of occasions this morning Still think her best response would ultimately be to give Robbie Gibb the boot though #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Nathan Gill His own connections to Russia His unpatriotic bootlicking of Trump His house in Clacton His tax His racist past Just a few questions Nigel Farage didn't fancy answering on Laura Kuenssberg today Dubai based patriot Richard Tice standing in for him #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

"Any politician who continues to defend a tech billionaire who has enabled online abuse, forfeits the right to claim they are concerned about protecting women & children." I think they were talking about Nigel Farage, but he just seemed to think it was funny. As usual #pmqs #PoliticsLive

I might not agree with everything Ed Davey says, but I always find him one of the most knowledgeable, genuine & committed politcians when it comes to social care This is where greater cross-party working could be more beneficial, given the signifiance of the issue #PoliticsLive

Kemi Badenoch hasn't got a clue about global diplomacy Starmer has undoubtedly made mistakes, but has at least helped restore our diplomatic credibility after the damage done by a series of tory clowns She just changes her views to suit social media #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

Keir Starmer: "Christmas must feel like a long time ago for many of you already. But not for Reform, because today is the day they celebrate Christmas in Russia" 😂 Nigel Farage presumably currently fuming on Times Radio, while neglecting the day job. Again #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Jesus Christ! How quickly did the host panic when Ed Davey, whilst talking about foreign interference in UK politics, started to use Nigel Farage as an example of a politician who claims to be a patriot, while working against the interests of this country #PoliticsLive

A series of lame Christmas puns from Kemi Badenoch, although in response, Starmer simply has to make reference to the endless avalanche of tories jumping ship to Reform, which for him is the gift that keeps on giving #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Keir Starmer: "Merry Christmas to all, and a word of advice for Reform. If mysterious men from the East come bearing gifts, next time report it to the Police." Decent zinger from The PM there #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Donald Trump suing the BBC I'll be quite interested to see if it's deemed as even remotely possible to cause reputational damage to a man who thinks this is an appropriate response, by the President of America, to news of a brutal a double murder #BBCBreakfast #r4today

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results And yet here we are this morning with the vacuous liar Chris Philp on Laura Kuenssberg, yet again Enjoy your ongoing obscurity, tories #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

You'd think Laila Cunningham was a party leader or MP, the amount of air time The BBC gives her It's almost like she's one of the only members of Reform UK (Ltd) who isn't embroiled in some kind of scandal or other #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

What a childish line of questioning from Kemi Badenoch, leader of a party who trashed public services in the UK, changed their leader with alarming regularity, and whose self-serving members are jumping ship to Reform with even greater frequency #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Did I miss the in-depth feature from Chris Mason about even more comrades of Nigel Farage and Reform UK (ltd) being implicated in the Russian bribery scandal? #BBCBreakfast #r4today

"It is my job, after careful examination of the facts, to call it, on your behalf, in careful, precise language" I imagine Chris Mason, our moral guardian, will carefully and precisely be all over that allegation of Nigel Farage and electoral fraud, right? #BBCBreakfast #r4today #ReformUK

A Fall Friday Motown-esque stomper to kick-start the day The Fall - Just Step S'ways youtu.be/oFO70oGChQU?... #FallFriday #TheFall #MusicSky

OFGEM: "In order to protect you from price rises, we are investing in new infrastructure. This will involve some price rises though." The energy companies have already had this money and plenty more besides. Let the shareholders bear the cost #bbcbreakfast #r4today

"The party of child poverty" That would make quite a snappy, not to mention painfully accurate slogan for the tories #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Kemi Badenoch yet again failing to grasp that the issues which the Westminster and media bubble tend to obsess about, quite often the rest of the country don't give a fuck about #PMQs #PoliticsLive

It's all very well talking about Richard Hughes resigning, and demanding Rachel Reeves go too I doubt either of them leaked the budget though Has anyone questioned Kemi Badenoch? All I'm saying is, she's got a history of hacking websites 😆 #PoliticsLive

Chris Mason is a snide, biased weasel who rather than simply report the news, tries to create, influence and manipulate the news agenda, and when that doesn't work out, pursues his own little petty vendettas He needs to follow Robbie Gibb out the door #PoliticsLive

Darren Jones is so much better at this than the majority of his peers Made short work of some very childish questions from Sally Nugent there, and actually made sense in the process It'll never catch on #BBCBreakfast #r4today

I maybe wouldn't claim to be the biggest fan of Rachel Reeves, but to be fair, she showed admirable patience with Laura Kuenssberg as she wrecked a potentially interesting interview in the name of chasing a gotcha The Media in The UK need to grow the fuck up #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Laura Kuenssberg is an absolute fucker for asking a question, and then just talking over the guest if she starts getting an answer she doesn't want to hear This Rachel Reeves interview being a classic example of that #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

And the man who pretends he knows it all Is destined to a Mighty Fall The Fall - M5 #FallFriday #TheFall #MusicSky youtu.be/F0JzcqyVKTo?...
