Stupidly turned on #trevorphillips and we have another programme of Labour bashing. I don't think I have ever heard this programme tell the story of what Labour has done well in the last year and a half because there is a lot. Sky are not even trying to hide their political bias now. It is blatant.

I hope CCHQ drafted that question for Evans, in order to echo Badenoch's shallow line of attack today, at the end of the session. He looks positively - and rightly - embarrassed for having asked it.

Reform UK have accepted £9 million from foreign-based businessman Christopher Harborne.
Here's what Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice thought in 2018 about George Soros donating to UK groups:
"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

I watched Beth Rigby interview the Prime Minister on the budget and the aggression of her questions and attitude were really disturbing. The need by @skynewsrss.bsky.social political analysts to get a gotcha moment is meaning they are not reporting the news any more - just trying to catch Govt out.

All the coverage of Reeves ‘lying’ debagged in a single sentence.
I’m quite enjoying the 180 turn on a six pence from “you’ve wrecked the economy and created a black hole” to “there was no black hole and this is even worse”.

Badenoch is so incredibly unpleasant. Her response is nothing but personal attacks and describing support for kids in poverty as "hand outs". Grim.

Another 55mins of Farage carried live by BBC and Sky, in which he rambled for twice as long as briefed, and yet managed to say little of substance.
