A superb and brilliantly reasoned piece from the indefatigable Elizabeth Atherton ..👍🏻

She looks fantastic. Cue far right abuse and misogyny.

Starmer says the world thinks Britain is a great nation. Everywhere I've been (east, south, west & Europe this year: a lot of travelling) thinks Britain made a huge, sad, terrible mistake with Brexit, & that we are severely diminished. That's the truth.

Nick Robinson on R4 Today has just referred to pensioners as ‘the wartime generation’, despite the fact that most of them weren’t even born until the 1950s

I am sick of bloody algorithms picking up the fact that I had prostate cancer, now over a year ago.

Christopher Morley I also like Gedda in the old RFdeBurgos Elijah, even if the English is a tad fruity!

Liz Truss racked up £1.8 million bill for travel on private government jets last year. Ms Truss was responsible for some 51% of government spending on foreign flights, accommodation and meals during 2022 Value for money ?? Wow mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

I think we need a new generation of reporters, decent reporters. The old bunch seems to have been brainwashed and taken over by the Tories. Unless we get unbiased reporting, the people will never know truth from lies and this country will never move forwards. #ToryShills

So Starmer gets freebies which doesn't affect the public, nor rob the public of services or funds. Tories dish out multi million pound contracts to family and friends which starves many public services. Hypocrisy? Yes yes and yes.

I don't know about you but I'm getting seriously pissed off with Labour members, some unions and of course the RW broadcasters, including BBC News (UK) criticising a government that has been in power for barely 12 weeks that is having to deal with the economic shit-show left after 14

Can we just put a sack over the cage of strident, hysterical trade union harpies who seem to think they have a voice in the running of the country?

What kind of complete and total c*nts have a problem with a dad working mad hours with a million people around him in one of the most demanding elections of his lifetime having his son staying over at his friend’s place so that he can actually study for his GCSEs?

Remember when Sky’s Beth Rigby interviewed Boris Johnson and grilled him on free holidays, free food for a year courtesy of Bamford’s, flat refurb paid for by donor, or his £230,000 wedding paid for by JCB? No. Me neither.

Beyond nasty - this wasn’t headlined when Johnson moved his family into Lord Bamfords 20 million home in Mayfair - not headlined or asked on air- why ??? Stop Attacking Starmer !

After 2 days of headlines about a flat,let's hope starmer doesn't have an affair with someone then give them public money. That would be a sacking offence right?

Purely hypothetical of course, but is it worse for a would-be/has-been Prime Minister to install one of their kids in a friend's spare room temporarily or in the House of Lords permanently?

It is with a heavy heart that I have today informed my whip and decided for now to no longer take the Conservatives whip. This is a sad day for me. I am a Conservative and remain so but sadly the current Party are far removed from the Party I joined and served in Cabinet. My

Sayeeda Warsi Conservatives You finally did the right thing. The Conservatives are toast.

Sakari Oramo quite rightly puts the scherzo second, in this, his first performance of the greatest C20 symphony. The argument I had with his great predecessor at the CBSO stopped a dinner party in Frankfurt -- all very amicable!

Don't bother complaining to @Amazon. Their messaging system is rubbish, and all in incomprehensible American Says it all.
