No. 10 staff tell PM that "it wasn't us, Prime Minister."
Presumably, Starmer is so thick/stupid/naive that he expected one/some of them to own up.

Proof (were it needed) that almost all the reporting staff of the Daily Fail are ignorant.
They must be if their “Chief Reporter” says (wrongly) in his first para, that Deborah Turness was “fired” and then says in his next para that she "quit" (resigned).

@jessicaelgot.bsky.social Hi: You should take more care when writing for your paper. This paragraph is nonsense.
But you say "a rise (ANY RISE) in income tax, which could raise £7bn." Wrong. Because a 20p rise in income tax would raise very much more than a 1p rise.

Breaking: Starmer and Reeves promise to create millions of jobs for mileage counters. They will stand at the roadside and clock each time a car passes, allowing HMRC to work out how much to charge each driver! #r4today

Luke Edwards, making it up as he goes along. Burn didn't run off, arms raised. He ran off thumping the Newcastle badge on his chest and then did a knee slide. #NUFC

At last: Starmer can tick off one of his promises. He stopped the boats.

Some "journalists" seem to WANT to make sentences complicated and almost undecipherable. Take this gem.
All they had to do was move a few words and BINGO.
"Russian commanders are executing, torturing and sending soldiers who refuse to fight in Ukraine to their deaths, ..."

I think the Royal Family stretches the language when it comes to Frogmore "COTTAGE".
It is a mansion, certainly not "a small house, typically one in the country" (OED.
I wonder if they mean some sub definition, such as "(in the context of casual homosexual encounters) a public toilet."

Strange complaint from the 'orrible little oik considering my former employer (in the article he LINKS to) makes it clear that he then returned the £900 desk and replaced it with three Ikea desks.
Methinks he doth protest too much.

Must have got out of bed on the wrong side (impossible, there's no room).
Now I read that "Prince" Andrew is saying he'll leave his free house if he gets TWO free houses in return.
Fuck off. Go to the local council and declare yourself homeless, you useless piece of "entitled" shit.

I am getting pissed off with so-called journalists saying "Mr X said:" and then cutting and pasting huge sentences from a press release sent in by Mr X. No. He so obviously WROTE IT. Or his PR did.

If ever the first 3 paras of a newspaper story condemned what the elite has been doing to the general population for decades, it is THIS.
Millions in the red, spending more on essentials than they get coming in.
