"It's all the RW media's fault".
No. All the right wing media have done is gorge themselves silly on the endless feast of failure Labour laid out for them.
You're right that the RW media would have found fault regardless, but in this case they had just cause to do so a thousand times over.

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

Frying planet. Wars, including in Gaza and Ukraine to name a few. Trump. Billionaire takeover. Meanwhile, Reform UK is fretting over....Christmas dinner. I presume they want a "turkey consumption police force"? Yet they moan about the nanny state.

So there isn’t enough money for SNAP benefits to help feed people and there isn’t enough money to make healthcare more affordable, but there is money for the orange felon’s $250M ballroom, $230M to pay himself with and $40B to give to Argentina’s dictator. I hate fascists.

Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.
But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.

Its not just the usual British hate-filled bigots who are rushing to accuse immigrants of the Huntingdon stabbings, Czech news sites are full of racists jumping to such conclusions to fit their malevolent agendas. And no doubt JD Joshua Vance will be along soon to fan the flames.
