As usual Mark’s one post hit the nail squarely on the head.
My one #politics post of the day.
Starmer's refusal to clear out Tory appointments to the BBC Board and other public bodies from day one was at best deeply naive.
Again we come back to the mystery of what Labour were doing pre-2024 election as it definitely wasn't preparing for power.

Banksy to be the new BBC DG. No one knows what next week schedule is going to be until the highlights are sprayed on a garage wall in Bristol.

Reform UK’s Kent council chaos shows why it cannot govern
Reform UK’s Kent council is collapsing with suspensions, chaos and no financial plan. If it cannot run a county, why trust it to run the UK?

Excl: The driver of the train who made the emergency stop in Huntingdon, Andrew Johnson, told ITV News tonight that he was “just doing my job”.
But he surely saved lives.

Another fantastic news story.
It really feels that across medicine we are on the verge of a huge series of breakthroughs in terms of treating loads of really bad illnesses.
So I've loving this announcement from the MHRA!
We just need to keep the anti-science Reform and 'had enough of experts' Tories out of power!

This usually happens after the Kueesenburg programme. Odd that.
Sounds like the Sunday morning media programmes were just as bad as always, judging by people's posts.
Anti-Labour, holding Labour to a higher level of standard than any other government, blaming them for past government's problems, giving Reform an easier time, unchallenged & under no scrutiny.

And more importantly where did the money come from?
"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."

There is also a massive reality of the stupidity of Brexit and the wish to rejoin. The LP needs to wake up and realise it’s a vote winner.
There is a massive hunger for honest statements of pro-Europeanism and European values, as evidenced in the Nlands and perhaps in UK
And just as we have to praise British politics and LP for finally acknowledging the problem of Brexit, we have to acknowledge the voters for looking at the menu*

In the UK we would still be charged for electricity at the far more expensive gas price. #robbed
The Dutch always did well with harnessing wind.
🇳🇱 Yesterday wind power accounted for ~95% of Netherlands electrical power generation (168GWh). Solar power was ~% (GWh).
