Stop spinning it like some scandal BBC. It’s dishonest Reform UK bias. Most of these councils won’t even exist in a year because of reorganisation. So these votes are basically a pointless waste of time and money. Councils asked for delays - most of them under Tories. The Government just agreed.

For goodness sake give it a rest. I understand that MPs were very happy indeed to hear what the PM said this evening . Can we hear more about that rather than this unforgivable gossip.

Lets call it as it is..
MSM worked tirelessly to undermine Labour & Starmer since the Election ❌
They’ve been promoting Farage & Reform daily, Reform has just 6 MPs but BBC had them on multiple times over LibDems with 72 MPs❌
Tories scandal after scandal & got kid gloves❌

Feels politics in Britain is going mad. BBC headline “PM is not resigning” about a good man who won a landslide 18 months ago, because of an American sleazeball he’s never met & a liar who persuaded people *across the political spectrum* he was the right man for Washington ambassador. 🤷🏽♂️

Not a fan of this either. The vote shift towards the Lib Dems in the last election was about hope and positivity. This negative campaigning undermines that selling point.

So please don't sulk? If you take a choice that has consequences that you might well have expected, maybe need to live with the outcome without guilt tripping.

The 🇬🇧 DID select Mark Carney to a very senior & powerful leadership position…Governor of the Bank of England where he surely did influence and make speeches.
And, no doubt, learnt from the sheer folly of our political masters on Brexit.

Those people praising that Carney speech & wishing a UK PM could do similar should ask why they don't. It's not because nobody in the UK is as smart as Carney. It's because our system selects against the sort of people who could deliver such a speech.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

A U-turn isn’t changing a draft or scrapping a proposal.
It’s when a policy is agreed, finalised, implemented — then abandoned.
By that definition, “Starmer U-turns” simply aren’t U-turns at all

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

And this takes time. Knee jerk reactions on social media as we've seen over the past two days create a load of political tinnitus stopping people hearing and responding with any clarity. Feels like people prefer the angst and outrage to a balanced "Ok in the real world what needs to happen".

People who never react to posts until they've something to criticise are a good reminder of what we all might be guilty of: We tend to not mention or praise things done well. We mostly take them for granted. We're quietly pleased. We forget no-one can look inside our heads. We need to say it (more).
