Reform has hired loony-right ex-academic Matthew Goodwin as head of its new student organisation.
I take it the BBC and others will no longer be describing him as merely a "commentator" or (wrongly) an "academic"?...

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic
We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
DEFEND THEM!

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Channel 4's analysis (July 2025) reported:
The government has delivered or is “on track” to keep 22 of the 36 pledges. Ten more are “inconclusive”, meaning we can’t say whether they have met, or are likely to meet, the promise. And four promises are either not delivered or “off track”.

Tories were in power for 170 months. Labour now for 15 months.
In my humble opinion Labour voters need to get behind the Starmer government.
Tories left the country destitute & on its knees. It's convenient for the right wing to forget what was inherited. Just as they do with their tax returns.
