Late to this, but if the Sunday Times is correct that Morgan McSweeney spent one and a half hours last week with Lord Glasman then he isn't fit to fill any senior position in government.

I did a podcast episode seemingly. About the North South divide and its interaction with transport. With @freewheeling.info. So what better way for me to listen to it for the first time than on a slow train back to Leeds from Rotherham. Which is what I'll do right now.

John Le Carre was right about the British establishment and how the alumni of the best schools will sell out their own country for status and money and in particular a desperate desire for American attention

I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

BBC News all over Reform, reporting on what Farage had for breakfast, until something like this happens
Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as…

Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.

What little fixes'd you want?

Labourites seem to have gone from "ha ha hypnotits" to "oh fuck Polanski will make Farage PM, is that what you want???" very quickly.

But lads, if you want people's votes, win them. You're the government ffs.

Possibly the worst scam text I’ve received, or is because I’m sad and saw the wrong financial year before I saw the crap email address.

Plus are they aware of the current Labour Party policies

Get done by this one and you deserve it

Labour overturned a 4,500 SNP majority in Hamilton and the BBC spun this as somehow a victory for Reform.

The BBC News department is not fit for public service.

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters.

I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.
Keir Starmer's net favourability rating has dropped 12pts in a month to -46, his lowest level ever, including a 34pt drop among Labour voters

All Britons: -46 net rating (down 12 from 13-14 Apr)

By 2024 vote
Labour: -5 (down 34)
Lib Dem: -13 (down 12)
Conservative: -76 (up 1)
Reform: -94 (down 5)

If only some cunt with a massive news podcast and an LBC show had a platform to hold Reform up for scrutiny, instead of tromboning its leaders and giggling along from their cosy studio, eh?
