Oh come ON

Appalling. Whose clever idea has it been to have a cull of left wingers?

What's so incredible about Starmer's faction is that they are in total control of the party, have already vaporised the Labour left, are poised to win a huge majority, but still can't resist an opportunity to break the legs of anyone who briefly had some hope between 2015 & 2019

No surprise that a desperate Rishi Sunak is coming after universities, though as usual it's hugely depressing to see the value of higher education crudely linked to 'earnings potential'

Wes Streeting saying just now that voters are more interested in the fate of the NHS than Labour's treatment of Diane Abbott; but the two issues are inseparable, because a party capable of showing such cruelty & unfairness to one of its own is not to be trusted on *any* issue

The lunacy of where we are as Black and Brown journalists in our media landscape. Having to apologise for calling out racism by a well-documented racist platformed by our national broadcaster. The bile meets their editorial standards but her pushing back doesn’t. Disgusting.

'Silence is not an option in the face of such inhumanity.'

Our statement on the attacks on West Rafah.

So depressing to see the shadow health secretary using attack lines against the NHS that were honed by the Mail, the Telegraph and hard-right Tories -- in the Murdoch-owned Times, of course

Shame on Farage. Shame on Phillips for skirting around calling him a racist, Shame on Sky News for using a clip as clickbait. Shame on us all. This is utterly horrendous and these few minutes will have a huge negative impact on us all.

Richard Madeley explaining the plot of his new crime novel on Radio 2 just now is two minutes of pure joy, and the most Accidental Partridge thing I have ever heard
