This is a horror story. The world service is the only good thing left with the BBCs news content. If they want to save money get rid of the Laura K show, just like an expensive GB News.

Anas Sarwar made the best argument ever for Scottish independence on Monday. He admitted that Westminster has let Scotland down for the last 16 years.

control yourself Henry. Murdoch man gets over excited at trouble for Labour. Poor quality journalists prefer melodrama over analysis.

To use a footballing analogy. Alex Ferguson's fan rating was very low in his first year at United and the management nearly succumbed to the clamour to sack him. They kept him, the rest is history.

Anas Sarwar knows he will be trounced by the SNP in the coming elections. His call for Starmer to resign is a desperate move to save Scottish Labour.

#bbclaurak
is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

The Sunday Show had a good debate about protecting children from the harmful effects of social media. I think as an alternative to an Australian type solution the social media platforms should be taxed out existence.

Rightly, journalists are asking about Starmer but their feeding frenzy is diverting from the real story. Mandelson divulged government info to Epstein. As bad or worse than Profumo. Mandelson should be in front of a judge this month.

It’s only “crisis as usual” because the media (and over excited MPs) make it that way… it’s lazy journalism that stopped Pride in Place being covered yesterday. Look at yourselves as well as the politicians.

Rather than bringing Starmer down with the Mandelson/Epstein stuff, perhaps we should accentuate the Bannon/Epstein (and more) stuff which talks about supporting the European far right and breaking the world system. Via Brexit, Reform UK and the new model Badenoch party tagging along.

We don't need a public inquiry, we have the law. It will be a failure of law if Mandelson is not in front of a judge this month.

The country was lucky to have Brown and Darling leading us through the financial crash. Not so lucky to have Johnson and Hancock during Covid.

England's water companies have 1,200 criminal convictions. They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced. None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected Whatever happened to democracy, rule of law?
