The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget.
Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

Go and listen to Jeremy Vine on radio 2 today. Nothing impartial at all about his segment on this today. He sounded like he is a Daily Mail employee

If you want to give your blood pressure a good run, listen to today’s Jeremy Vine. He spends 10 minutes shrieking hysterically about Rachel Reeves lying.
The BBC should admit he is massively biased, and show him the door.

In my lifetime I have never seen this level of aggressive journalism to try to unseat a Chancellor from press + media. Just had to turn off Jeremy Vine who was shouting at a minister. The only difference with this chancellor is that she is a woman. Misogyny unconscious or conscious. #Ukpolitics

Why on earth should Reeves resign because Kemi Badenoch is "not satisfied"?
That ridiculous woman defaults to demanding resignation every time. Reeves, Starmer, Tim Davie...
There's one obvious candidate for resigning whose name she never mentions... 🤣

Chancellor says she can be trusted with the UK's finances despite claims she misled the public
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says she's not satisfied with the chancellor's denial of lying and called on her to resign.

lovely songs such as ‘Sailing,’
‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Margaret May.’
Now he’s become all radicalised, wallpapering his rooms in animal skin and sending back his gongs.

But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?
He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I don't think it's all of it by any measure but I do absolutely believe that the political media's raging anti-intellectual streak has got worse with time and has ended up influencing the way MPs talk, and what they choose to talk/think about
I don’t think this is a “politicians have got dumber” issue for the most part. If you look at the *actual CVs* of previous cohorts of MPs, their background is not radically different when you account for, you know, the fact the economy is different! It is primarily a media and ecosystem issue.
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:
