Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I followed the obvious signs but an enforcement officer had to point out a notice on the back of the entrance sign and it cost me £140

I also write about how little the floods have been covered in national newspapers, and how appalled I am that the Prime Minister has said nothing to the people of Monmouthshire directly. Please read and share. www.thenerve.news/p/storm-clau...
Storm Claudia puts Wales under water – why did these record-breaking floods barely make the news?
On the frontline of a deluge on the Welsh borders, Jude Rogers heard local stories of devastation and heroism – but incredibly the disaster was hardly referred to in Westminster and the national press

For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal.

None of today’s podcasts can be arsed covering this. Not the Spectator, New Statesman, News Agents or even The Guardian. For left and right, the Johnson government being a disgraceful mess is not even information any more.

Richard Hawley calls his music “a league away from most things in any genre". Rufus Wainwright says he was “so lucky” to work with him at an impressionable age. One of Billy Bragg's most famous covers came about because of him. But have you heard of Dick Gaughan?
