Huge parts of the UK press have so corrupted themselves by becoming clients of failure that come the election they will have to go themselves.

We just did. Now fuck off.

Surprise, surprise. BBC showcasing Tory losers not the winners from Labour/Greens/LibDems.
Yet during Brexit, they only ever showcased the 'winners'.
With Tories having appointed so many donors/supporters to the Beeb, is it any wonder that all we hear is government propaganda?

The brute truth is that successive Tory attempts to run economy and society around reducing the state, cutting public investment and hollowing out public services has caused economic decline and acute social distress. Now deservedly they reap the whirlwind.

In the Brexit referendum, Commonwealth citizens were given a vote denied to EU27 citizens.

Had EU27 citizens in the UK been given a vote on an issue that profoundly affected them, Remain would have won.

Leave won because the electorate was rigged to please the Tory Brexiters.…

Ken Broughton They used the older voters to win power and then their policies have seen their voter base die off quicker. Sadopopulism.

So now the Tories are reduced to telling older Brexit voters not to die off to save Brexit, despite the fact the NHS is unable to save so many lives these days thanks to Tory rule and Brexit.

The points Macron makes in this interview came up in several conversations I’ve had over the last few months - when the same points are made by different knowledgable people, I listen. The consensus appears to be that the chance of NATO being drawn into conflict in Europe with…

Three politicians from the Conservative party, which lost almost 500 councillors and multiple mayoral contests in these local elections, featured on the Laura Kuenssberg programme this morning.

None from the Greens or Lib Dems, who both made significant gains across the country.

I never understand this approach to political interviews. He pretends not to have any appreciation of the scale of the Tories’ predicament. Off screen, of course, he knows. So why say things on screen he, the interviewer, and viewers know is nonsense.

Girlyswot Spider 🌻 💙 🌎 🌱🕷🇪🇺 Sunak is a banker at heart.
He thinks only about money.

His only possible train of thought is to make big promises of tax cuts that we can't afford.

But he'll be trying to make them affordable by hiding a lot of tax hikes in the details - just like he did last time.

Girlyswot Spider 🌻 💙 🌎 🌱🕷🇪🇺 The final part of the plan will be a tax give away in. This doubles nicely for them as a way of reducing government funding so Labour can’t fix anything OR force Labour to increase taxes again which the Tories will campaign on for the next 5 years. Politics by trap, not care.

Good morning everyone 🌸🌞🌸
I'm deeply concerned about Sunak's ability to be our PM
He made a statement last night to say we have turned a corner and that The Tories are delivering for the UK.
How can someone be so out of touch with reality and still expect to be taken

Laura Kuenssberg can tweet whatever wishful thinking nonsense she wants far as I’m concerned, but why is nonentity Braverman on her show?

She represents a small fringe minority of deranged sadists.

Our media’s fascination with the far-right must be put to bed now.

Sunak,
The economy may improve v slightly. You may get one of your nasty flights off to Rwanda. You may cut immigration by starving our care homes of staff. You may offer a tax cut…
but NOTHING now will save you.
The country is tired, broken and sick of you. Call the election.

Anyone want to explain to the Tory snowflakes that what they do or who heads them up doesn’t matter: decent people just won’t forgive performative cruelty, spite, dishonesty, cronyism, corruption and dancing on the graves of the dead whilst an underfunded health service crumples.

I remember being at the count for @Sadiqkhan’s 1st election victory in 2016 & it was shocking to see the Britain First candidate turn his back on him. That was a fringe party. 8 years on & we now seen that hatred & racial division at the heart of mainstream politics. It must stop

Swim anyone?

I can see Kuenssberg is trending right now.
Good moment to remind ourselves few of her completely neutral and perfectly impartial interventions:
