I listen to LBC (@lbc.co.uk) a lot and post in annoyance about some (some) of its presenters' attempts to mislead the public.

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

All news outlets reporting the budget as "the second worst since Truss's".
We're all slaves to the media narrative, and no-one wants to do anything about it, or probably even agrees (even though I am 100% correct).

“The Labour Chancellor has taken from the rich to give to the poor”?
Meaning funding public services and taking the poorest kids out of poverty?
The United Kingdom has lost its soul.

LBC been doing the same on all shows except James's.
The BBC budget "analysis" consists mostly of voxpops by people complaining bitterly about Labour taxing too much and roughly an equal amount of people complaining bitterly about Labour spending too little.

How long have we got to wait for all of these illegal moves/autocratic behaviours etc etc to bear fruit?
The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

I half agree, but that welfare bill is going to bankrupt the country, surely?
Unless someone can explain to me how it won't, or how it's sustainable.

The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.

We have got to make politics intellectual again. It is the only way that societies thrive is when politicians have the capability to actually think and reflect deeply:
![I confess that I always had difficulty with interpreting the Biblical precept to love our neighbours “as ourselves” until I read some of the words of C.S. Lewis. He pointed out that we don't exactly love ourselves when we fall below the standards and beliefs we have accepted. Indeed we might even hate ourselves for some unworthy deed.
None of this, of course, tells us exactly what kind of political and social institutions we should have. On this point, Christians will very often genuinely disagree, though it is a mark of Christian manners that they will do so with courtesy and mutual respect. [Applause] What is certain, however, is that any set of social and economic arrangements which is not founded on the acceptance of individual responsibility will do nothing but harm.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xbnsfdtxoothg654ujxe3p25/bafkreicrdgbtvm54qnmttwe6crhxwt4be5v3izjmqtnvlxmaljwg5wolai@jpeg)

A quick note on how far behind the curve legacy media is:
Simon Squibb (effectively a "how to get rich yesterday" huckster) is treated as a serious contributor on @lbc.co.uk.
Tom Swarbrick's show earlier this year.
Shelagh's show now.

The Labour Party is really missing the likes of Harriet Harman right now.
The irony is that one of the reasons Harriet Harman decided not to pursue Badenoch for hacking her website was a belief that more black women in politics was a good thing. So, in a small but salient way, Badenoch owes her position to the very solidarity she now mocks.

The welfare system definitely needs reform.
It's too complicated, not good enough at working with health and employers in getting people back to meaningful work.
In a proper holistic, unbroken society, it would do this well.

It was estimated that the PIP cuts KS wanted would have pushed around 50k children into poverty. I expect him to come back to these cuts.
