I follow politics, but not too closely. This budget OBR stuff is utter bollox. It’s tittle tattle mince, it’s some sort of gotcha without any substance or an actual gotcha. The BBC political analysis has dropped lower than a snakes belly button.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

So the 8.10 slot on the Today programme had no guest but was just Emma Barnett, Chris Mason and co slagging the government off. No opinion from the government at all. How is that balanced coverage? 🤷‍♂️

DRS should have a timer and if a decision isn’t made or conclusive at the end of the timer then the on field decision should stand. #ashes

It wasn't until John Major became PM in 1990 that being a football fan was remotely socially acceptable for Tories.
Thatcher hated the game and regarded supporters as scum.

Why have BBC news got appalled quoted? As if to suggest it’s not genuine?!

Labour wins power from the centre. Labour doesn’t like choices involved in governing. Labour moves to the left. Labour governs to the left with no mandate. Labour loses power. Labour moves further to left and loses. Labour moves to the centre to win power. Repeat repeat repeat. Infuriating.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Cool cool. So perhaps you'd like to stand in front of a moving vehicle. Or is that kind of science magically settled somehow?
Farage asked on @lbc.co.uk whether he agreed with on the unproven link between paracetamol and autism

“I have no idea... We were told thalidomide was a v safe drug and it isn’t. who knows. I don’t know, you don’t know…when it comes to science I don’t side with anybody. It’s never settled.”

We can either fight amongst ourselves about not being perfect or we can deliver change that only a Labour government would.
'It's difficult to overstate what a landmark moment this is'

Liam Thorp, political editor of the Liverpool Echo, speaks to #BBCBreakfast about the introduction of the 'Hillsborough Law' bill will force public officials to tell the truth during investigations into major disasters

Had to turn off @newsagents.bsky.social this morning for their inability to consider why the government’s language at the weekend was cautious. When they called out the far right and Musk before they got accused of saying opposing immigration is far right. Or its racist to care about grooming gangs

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

I’m really tired of smug know it all journalists that do nothing but criticise. Whatever the government do, it’s wrong and they know better. We’re going to end up with Farage in number 10 because not everything Labour do in office is perfect.
September 11, 2025 at 2:16 PM
I don’t know Charlie Kirk is or why he was killed. I’m very sorry he was. But can somebody explain why this is leading the news on the Today Programme?

Large parts of the English press and radicalised X users are increasingly out of touch with public opinion.
Polling on Lucy Connolly tweet following her release finds that 35% think her sentence too harsh, but the majority of Brits: 52% say it was about right or too lenient. Most 2024 Reform voters say too harsh, Tory voters split harsh or lenient/about right. Most Labour/LD/Green the latter

Seems all you need to do to get a sympathetic front page these days is plead guilty to inciting racial hatred by calling for people to be burned alive inside hotels

She pleaded guilty and was sentenced by a judge. Starmer had f all to do with it. She knows that; the Telegraph knows that.
