Plant trees. Love language. Use numbers. Take photographs. Despise populists. Capable of fact-based rational thought. Still alive.
These bastards can't even lie efficiently.

Let's see Trump try to sleep through a 'reveal' of that lot.

It looks a lot deeper than the talent pool inside the building.

Very typical of Dan Hodges to post something with a major 'typo' in it.
He obviously meant to say:

"Chris Mason is widely viewed, across the political divide, as one of the most objectionable journalists at Westminster."

Great Yarmouth First?
Smells a bit fishy.
Well, it used to, before Brexit.

Farage's position is understandable.
He prefers to work with people who have been dishonest liars for at least 20 years.

Vietnam War hero, Donald Trump, still suffering the effects of severe PTSD.

Not even for KFC poisoning?

Looks like it's time for Chris Mason to double-check whether Starmer's dad was a toolmaker.

I am waiting for Chris Mason to adjudicate this one, obviously.

But they've got wells.

The ironic and next career move for Chris Mason should be as a guest on "Have I Got News for You?", because he rarely does.

Trump looking to the future, again.
The man is a visionary.

They were just trialling the bot-farm that will be replacing Trump on social media, when his incapacities are so serious that he will be secretly retired.

She makes Badenoch look like a genius.

He will think about it, "on your behalf", and then tell you what to think.

Perhaps this post just reports a gender difference, as the sample sizes for the subject analyses were very different.

Cut him some slack.
Nick is suffering from a chronic disease that afflicts (ex) BBC Political Correspondents.
You've summarised the main symptoms.
Laura has been partially disabled by it for several years.
Chris Mason is suffering from an extremely early onset of this bitterly debilitating illness.

Chris Mason is on the case, apparently.
