Today is one of those days where the media seriously need to wind their necks in!
There are some very good & important news stories they should focus on.
If not that, then some extremely serious stories that must be explored.
We don't need more drama & speculation over the Labour leadership.

Attacking and calling for Jess Phillips to resign feels like a new low in politics.
She has been working with vulnerable and exploited women years before she was even an MP. She has carried on that great work since.
She’s one of the good ones.

Watched Question Time tonight and really proud of the people of Shrewsbury for pushing back on some of the more rancid aspects of discourse around immigration in media and politics.

Who would go in to politics when the bar for losing your job is so low?
To quote the Independent Ethics Advisor "Angela Rayner has acted with integrity & with a dedicated & exemplary commitment to public service".
Yet that still is not enough.
So another northern woman is hounded out!

Now Farage is dangerously predicting the collapse of this government within 2 years.
The media salivating on every word.
We have never been in so much danger as we are today.

Reform isn’t a political party. It’s a corporate lobbying firm.
The business model is simple. Wealthy elites pay Farage to push policies that could make them millions.

And he continues to lie (and without retribution) 😡
Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children"
Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Cutting-edge cancer treatments made within days rather than weeks or months.
Personalised gene therapies to be made while patients wait (with only minutes of shelf life).
Both will now be possible thanks to the world-first regulations coming into force today, thanks to the Labour government.

So predictable.
Day after the spending review, the media now moved on to the budget and start speculating about it and making headlines saying 'the Chancellor won't rule out tax rises' when what she said was that she (rightly) won't be drawn on details of the budget 5 months out from it.
