I wonder if Netflix’ heart-breaking and enraging new documentary #GrenfellUncovered will mobilise public opinion in the same way as #MrBatesVsThePostOffice. The gross negligence of so many and the lack of justice for the victims is hard to stomach.

Oh Little Marco. How much further must you demean yourself? It can’t be worth it. If you want to complain about anti-democratic actions then focus closer to home. Your boss is out of control.

Just listening to it now and very much enjoying the conversation: particularly the Trump-Johnson compare and contrast section.

The 44% tariff levied on post-earthquake Myanmar was a particularly Trumpian touch.

Describing the 10% Trump tariff rate that the UK will face as a ‘Brexit dividend’ is like the man who shot his own foot off getting a great bargain at a shoe sale five years later. #politicslive 👞

That’s a very vague (vag-way) answer.

JD Vance didn’t need to do anything more to become the most hated man in Europe, but he did anyway. This is exactly what Putin might say about Ukraine. #JDVance #Denmark #NATO

I appreciate that as a government minister Luke Pollard has his lines to take on #bbcqt. However to the average voter it just comes across as evasiveness and further reduces trust in politicians and the political process. Please speak to us like adults who have brains🙏🏼

I’m embarrassed to admit we’d never seen @anncleeves.bsky.social’s brilliant #Shetland until last month. It’s been such a pleasure making our way as far as season 6 so far. Excited to meet Ashley Jensen’s character in due course, but Douglas Henshall as DI Jimmy Perez has been just fantastic👏🏼

I was struck by your observation that Starmer and Reeves both still embody a civil service mindset. Reeves in particular seems unwilling to challenge the advice of her officials. And it’s not as if this approach has avoided any mistakes. A bit of boldness really couldn’t hurt.

Hard to describe this as anything other than an act of cowardice.

“Sensible Brexiteer.” Hannan putting the moron into oxymoron there.

Looks like I’ll be celebrating my birthday with @maitlis.bsky.social and @jonsopel1.bsky.social. Surely you must have a book coming out too @lewisgoodall.com so I can manage @thenewsagents.com trifecta?😊

Anna Madeley is simply wonderful in All Creatures Great and Small. She delivers one of her strongest and most moving performances in tonight’s Christmas special. #ACGAS

We’re more likely to find out the lies and exaggerations which Johnson concocted to pass the minimal hurdles imposed by the committee.

Really enjoyed your conversation with @lewisgoodall.com. He does a very canny Geordie accent and I love how his mum keeps his feet on the ground😊

I wish @andyburnham.bsky.social would have a word with Keir Starmer about “exposing the big lie of Brexit.” Not only has it changed the nature of migration, but continues to depress economic growth. #BBCLauraK

Yvette Cooper absolutely on top of her brief. ‘Interviewer of the Year’ Kuennsberg not landing a glove on her. #BBCLauraK

Don’t forget his promised tax cuts for the biggest corporations, because they’re sure to use them to cut prices for consumers. Right? Right?😟
