Greta is being held by Israel (following an act of piracy) and is probably being tortured Today R4 manage to not include this in the 7am news or at all? The bbc no longer do journalism.

So the government plan to give the police more powers to stop or move protests. Another step into authoritarianism. Powers being handed to the Met whose corrupt culture has recently been exposed.

Perhaps we should take a moment this weekend to mark the true heroism of the American forces senior staff who had to sit through the presentation by Captain Bone Spurs and Peter the warriors warrior. Greater love hath no man ….

CP on Today on leaving the ECHR again. It all about sovereignty (it’s not its state freedom to abuse citizens). The last time it was about sovereignty we got Brexit and that’s bollocks.

Ok I didn’t get all of it but LBC JO’B worked hard at having a balanced discussion on should the protest matches go ahead post synagogue attack.

I’m now aware on three occasions on the media where the attack on the synagogue is linked to KS recognising the Palestinian state. There may be more. The danger is that if this is said often enough it becomes accepted.

Lots of coverage of the awful behaviour of Met police. More bad apples stuff. With due respect to good police staff when will we get to acceptance that the Met (and I’m sure other forces) are institutionally corrupted?

More news today on Labour racist (and stupid) policies on immigration. So LBC JO’B yesterday doing hours on how unfair media coverage of KS was (a lot of it was) looks like soft marketing.

Listened to Today covering Labour plans re mental health and supporting people into work. I do not trust this. They lied about PIP. This sounds like more workhouse thinking there to drive people into the gig economy. Work sets you free.

NF and reform going bananas about being called racist. Keep doing it. It’s accurate.

Ok KS called out NF at conference. 👏👏👏. At the same conference we were told immigration rules would be tightened. No evidence that this is needed. It reinforced the idea that immigrants are a or the problem. KS and NF have more in common than is immediately apparent.

I continued to listen in case JO’B would actually do some analysis of the Overton window being dragged further right. He’s not. It’s all put down to NF (who is awful) but not all of the cause.

Now JO’B is considering racism being mainstreamed in politics as if Labour haven’t been part of this. They have. See KS referencing the rivers of blood speech and participating in scapegoating.

Interesting line from LBC JO’B defending KS from right wing press coverage (justifiably). Will he cover the bits of conference that clearly took labour policy to the right with bits of racism?

Lots of media coverage on ECHR and deportations. It’s a smokescreen. 30% of English children grow up in poverty. There were 16k+ needless A&E deaths last year. Predicted food inflation of 6%. Fuel costs up. Could we focus on important things please?

Today doing shock that KS as an x human rights lawyer is challenging the interpretation of the law on asylum seekers. What Labour can do is racism with more sophisticated language.

Can anyone explain to me why the Scottish Government will pay me winter fuel payment (I think £200) then take it back through tax? It can’t be efficient government. It looks stupid.

I found LBCs SF enthusiasm for the proposed peace deal in Gaza creepy. Real undercurrent of if Hamas don’t take the deal and Gaza is exterminated it’s on them. It may have been constructed around this outcome in mind.

DA on radio Scotland presenting Labour as the solution to the Reform problem. Argues it takes time to turn around the country. No mention of mass poverty creation attempted by Labour. Utterly condescending utterly out of touch other than with the wants of Labour funders.

I didn’t listen to all of the Home Sec at conference. The bits I got sounded like the tories from a few years ago. Was it all like that?

RR at conference doing a good line on how awful the Tories were. It’s true. And there’s around 10k more children in poverty since Labour took power.

RR on Today saying she’s turned things round. What ? Obviously she’s not asked to justify this. She gets to say that benefit cuts will help people into work. Now the plan is to sanction young people into taking a work placement. NR accuses her of being too soft. Filibuster. Trust me.

Is this Labour conference going to be senior Labour figures trying to outdo each other on shifting policies ever further right? It’s all rather Thatcherite with added bigotry.

NEET to have benefits cut if they don’t take a work placement. The HS says she’ll make it more difficult to get settled status. ID cards. Benefit cuts pending. More arrests for supporting Palestinian Action. This is Labour Britain.

Today doing a lighthearted piece of nonsense on how to tax the rich and how difficult it is. It’s ridiculing the very reasonable idea of a progressive tax system. There’s no analysis. It’s certainly not journalism.

Then they get a guy on from Israel to state it’s not genocide.

LBC doing a thing on should Israel be at Eurovision? Eurovision is at best a bit of fun. Genocide isn’t. Of course they should be banned.

Digital ID? Employers are legally required to check eligibility to work many do not it’s rarely endorsed. Current law under utilised so it’s not that we need a new one or cards. What are Labour really doing here? Handing the next hard right government ever greater control?

Around 30% of children are growing up in poverty and the PM needs to spend £ms on ID cards. The man is evil.

Have I got this right the SG will pay me a renamed winter fuel allowance (I think £100) then take it back in tax as I’m over the income threshold? That looks really stupid.

The asylum seekers taxi story is odd. It’s been presented as them being pampered but reading between the lines it reads as evidence of how badly they are treated.

Reasonable yardstick anyone not saying DT is talking bollocks about paracetamol and is defending the London mayor has no place in uk public life.

But GMS failed to get a SG person on to be held to account.

Ok GMS caught up.

More than 800 needless deaths in Scotlands NHS A&Es last year. It’s a failure of the Scottish Government. GMS gave prominence to seagulls. Media collusion in failure.

Let’s not get too look media suppression in the states! We have home grown media issues. The BBC promotion of Nigel and very pro Zionist coverage as 2 examples.

LBC JO’B giving it large on media suppression in Trumpland. Will he turn his attention to what happened to Sangita?

State visit, Trump strutted about loving the attention. After the Putin meeting he looked like a whipped puppy. That says a lot about power.

There’s some radio chat about KS doing the hard talk things with Trump today in private. Will it happen? They collude on Gaza and the Epstein files. Both want to make the rich richer. Both are authoritarian.

Today throwing about big money numbers on American investment re the state visit. Very little detail or analysis. How many jobs will be created? What infrastructure demands (AI centres)? It’s very poor journalism.

Is we look at the state visit just in terms of money, what did it cost ? And what’s the gain point when it becomes productive for the average Brit? (Not I stress the millionaires)

Pro Trump callers to LBC, sound deluded. There are daily human rights violations on American streets. That’s not great!

Ok big state visit. CIII did his bit. What’s the shelf life on Trump gratitude? A week?

LBC JO’B doing a commentary on the Trump and Charlie show is the most bizarre radio eve.

Caller to 5 live wants ICE on the streets and mass deportations. He’s big on replacement theory. There’s a process of gross radicalisation going on and mass conversion to fascism.

Radio Scotland doing the state pension/triple lock isn’t sustainable? It’s never under taxing the super rich is unsustainable. It’s never look ….. just put £bns offshore. It’s never we have one of the lowest state pension in Europe.

Radio Scotland on reduced provision of Covid jabs in Scotland. Apparently it’s a cost benefit analysis thing. Yet no data given on cost saving against predicted hospitalisations and deaths. Poor journalism.

I keep hearing that KS would not have appointed PM if he’d known….. and yet an utterly spineless media fail to ask why did the vetting process fail? Or how could you not have known the world knew? We need truth to power the MSM do lips to arse.

Lucy Powell presents like she wants to be a bridge between KS and traditional Labour. At last an acknowledgement that KS isn’t Labour. Is this who she is or is this another KS ploy?

UN confirm there’s a genocide going on in Gaza. Today continue to report the situation in terms of Israel targeting Hamas.
