Chris Mason on BBC news this evening explaining he can’t reveal his Starmer/Streeting source and then stating more “gossip” will likely follow.
Well we can all do that, about anyone.
That’s not journalism.
He knows who told him, but notice he didn’t’ contradict that it didn’t come from within No 10.

I don't understand the hounding & hatred toward Starmer.
He may be far from perfect, but seems a decent chap, trying & working very hard.
He's not a toff like Cameron, doesn't have an evil streak like May, certainly not a fool like Johnson, not out of touch like Sunak & a different species to Truss.

Yep and if the Government are not permitted to do that, then we and they, should put pressure on those that can, to do it.
Clear out the trash at the BBC and it will all be fine.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The BBC has made big mistakes, but that came from individuals, not "The BBC".
We must defend our BBC.
If Trump & his Nazis come for the BBC, then we should ban X-Twitter, Facebook and all the other American medias spewing out hate and garbage in to our easily swayed masses (stupid people).

Re the Andrew previously known as Prince...
I've no sympathy for him at all, only the victims, but it's so hard to accept many Americans calling for more, when they've their own version of Andrew installed as President.
Sure, he should face justice, but so should that orange turd in the White House.

The relentless attacks on Starmer from the BBC (in particular Mason & Kuenssberg) & the other media goes on.
Yet we get Trump thrown down our necks every evening, without any correction or scrutiny.
Even Putin gets an easier time.
Despite all this, Starmer just gets on with the job.
I admire him.

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice…
Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss.
He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

Listening to a German politician talking on BBC news & couldn’t agree more.
Time for Europe including the UK, to step up & act against Putin in defence of Ukraine. Also time to deal with Putin sympathiser/ ally Hungary.
Trump is not with us at all but Europe is still very powerful & rich… together.

If Europe and Ukraine didn’t have the support of the USA, what would we do?
Well whatever the answer to that is, that is what should be done, because there is no support, only negative support.
A Trump (Putin) USA is of no use whatsoever to Ukraine, Europe, or the US itself.

So pleased for the hostages & for the small reprieve for the people of Gaza (so far), but what utter bollocks Trump, world leaders & most of the media are spouting out from the middle east today.
Israel has stopped bombing Gaza for now and the remaining living hostages have been freed- That's it.

This lot are totally barmy and their close cousins at Reform HQ are even worse.
Labour might be getting some things wrong, while doing some things right, but please, please see that they and the other "normal" political parties, are a so much better option than these Tory/Reform crazies.

Jenrick delivers one of the most asinine speeches I have ever heard. He even brought along a prop, to explain how a judge becomes impartial setting aside personal views, then went on to attack judges for having views. His solution? Abolish tribunals. And who will adjudicate cases? Pfft. Details. ~AA

So "barmy" Badenoch speaks and the BBC seek out conference attendees that "just happen" to support her views, just like they did with "fruitcake" Farage.
When "sane" Starmer spoke though, they sought out only those critical of him.
Of course the BBC has no political bias though, do they?

Badenoch condemning Starmer for showing no success at turning around our battered country, just 15 months into Government and at the same time stating that her plans to turn around the dead Tory party will need more time to show results.
She's useless for the Tory Party but a gift to all the others.

'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.
“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

Keir Starmer is not charismatic, he’s not flamboyant, or even a clown, but he did turn a dead Labour Party in to a governing party and then said he’d do the job without winning popularity contests, but it would take time to turn around those 14 years of hell.

Andy Burnham, the man who couldn't win two previous Labour leadership contests.
Actually losing to men who between them couldn't win a single GE, with 3 attempts between them.
Stick with Starmer Labour- he will come through again.
