It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

Compare the description of Faiza Shaheen and Matthew Goodwin…it’s not deliberate bias but yet another example of how -in parts of the BBC -the brainwashers have brainwashed themselves:
No more blatant example of Question Time’s bias than this.
Goodwin is a Reform activist and GB News presenter - you’d have to be intentionally blind to think he’s an academic

Just prepped this slide on party membership numbers for a class. Shout if you think/know I've got it wrong as plenty of time to change it. PS I suspect the Tory figure is below 100,000 now but can't prove it, of course. PPS If anyone has an official/updated figure for Plaid, I'd love to know it!

One reason Tories lost in 2024 was the awful state of the NHS. They badly need to fess up & say how they plan not to f*ck it up next time.
All we got yesterday:
"In the NHS, industrial action has kept waiting lists high for far too long. Enough is enough. We will ban doctors from going on strike."
