Can I just complain further - switched on radio 4 to hear rasping shite from Robinson, but ... far worse to come when scrote weasel Chris Mason appeared! WTF did I do to deserve those a-holes first thing on Monday. Assume Kuenssberg returned to her coffin to avoid daylight! Small blessings!

Nick Robinson is a complete disgrace. Starmer has erred, apologised, but his performance & character far outweigh this. Where is the ferocious/forensic investigation into all the misdemeanours of tory/reform. Time we cleaned up the BBC of appalling journalism, only point to manipulate the public!

The media have never forgiven Keir Starmer for leading the Phone Hacking Scandal.
They’re the people who hacked Millie Dowler’s phone making her parents have hope she was still alive.
It’s the Media, stupid.

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."
Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

I must say, even as a Tory, that Reform can never be accused of hypocrisy.
For instance Nigel Farage saying Mr Starmer’s association with Mr Mandelson was a “Grave error of judgement” & he should resign.
Mr Farage’s ‘associations’ could NEVER be called grave errors of judgement.🤔

If Starmer/Labour is forced out you can kiss goodbye to:
Improved NHS
Better pay
Reducing mortgages
Protected rents
Improved towns
More funding for Police, hospitals and schools
Better Start Centres
Rejoining the EU
Don’t tell me in a couple of years you didn’t realise.

I rejoined Labour DELIBERATELY to ensure I could vote him in as Leader. Thought he & Rayner were a dynamite duo. He hasn't disappointed me; he's done so many amazing things. My only criticism is he needs to ramp up the comms ... to publicise his successes ... & to counter the lies!

It appears to be a wet Friday dance today, so do bring your dancing shoes, but perhaps also a raincoat and a well-mannered umbrella. ☔️

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
