#PoliticsLive The Guardian
Classic #LizTruss
From her book - a problem with her mini-budget was:

'a distinct shortage of expert voices supporting our agenda. Broadcasters and press alike struggled to find economists and commentators who could explain what we were trying to do.'

#PoliticsLive
#LizTruss backers are absolutely shameless. #MarkLittlewood ex-director of opaquely funded rightwing IEA thinktank that groomed Truss & #Kwarteng demands other 'institutions' take the blame for the Truss fiasco but is silent on his/IEA's part in the debacle.

#bbcnews #Newsnight
#LizTruss is beyond crazed. She refuses to accept the calamitous economic damage of her 49 days stint as PM. All the fault of city lefties, bankers & the deep state

Yet #Tory right headbanger & #TuftonStreet ideologues support a rerun of her mad policies,

Do critics of UK membership of #ECHR look at the stats? In 2023 Ct of Human Rts made just one judgement that UK had broken Convention rights. In entire history of Court, we account for only 1.45% judgements where a breach was found. h/t UK in a Changing Europe ukandeu.ac.uk/explainers/the…).

MPs vote by 354 to 7 that Boris Johnson is an intentional and serial liar. No former prime minister has ever suffered quite such an indignity

Liz Truss's 'why me?' reaction to the Queen's death is quite the thing, but what she then goes on to reveal is equally eyebrow raising.

“In some states, the law allows a baby to be born from its mother’s womb in the ninth month. This has to change.” - Donald Trump

It’s almost as if he didn’t understand what he was voting for …..

Celia Richardson 'are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the National Trust?'

Women are going to punish Trump.

#RoevemberIsComing

So, govt is paying £500+million to send maybe nobody to Rwanda, in planes they can’t charter, to live in houses that have been sold off, which will deter no one from trying to come to the UK. And Sunak is threatening to leave the ECHR if they can’t do this.
Totally fucking nuts.

Oh that’s weird because it did the opposite of killing me.
40 people worked around the clock to save my life when I was in a coma and expected to die.
At the end of it, no bill.
They would barely let me thank them.

#PostOffice Inquiry #BBCNews

#AlanBates gives his damning verdict on the culture of the #PostOffice

It's positive that benefits rise today in line with inflation, but...
1. This is just benefits catching up with price rises people have faced for months.
2. Essential costs have actually risen by much more than 6.7%.
3. More than 1/2 people on Universal Credit can't...1/4

UK media, including the BBC, could improve things by:

1) Not continually platforming think tanks unless it says who funds them.
2) Not putting up someone with a 0.1% view against someone with a 99.9% view as “balance”.
3) Not parroting what government says without fact checking.

No, this is not AI, Fox News. This is the presumptive Republican nominee for president:

Trump: Democrats said please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals

So here's how we should look at all this temperature stuff. The fundamental thing to understand is that there is a cut off point where the human body dies in 6 hours (Wet Bulb Effect)- around 35C to 50C, depending on the humidity. As I keep reminding people, when people die they…

Now clear that Post Office and its boss Paula Vennells knew subpostoffice computers could be remotely altered by Fujitsu staff bit.ly/3PMxzoU so why did she prosecute subpostmasters? Why did Fujitsu staff alter computer records? Why did Fjtu allow prosecutions to happen.

#C4News #Gaza
The mask slips
#Israeli gov spokesperson cracks under tough but fair questioning from Krishnan Guru-Murthy & demands reports:

'at some point you've got to take our (Israel) side'

But is reminded
' we don't take anyone's side we are journalists we are asking questions'.

“I’ll expect you to feed me, bathe me, brush my hair, hold my hand, recognise me when I have ceased to recognise myself and be the last human touch I may feel before I die.

But I do not think, at the same time, that you deserve a family life.”
