This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Daily Mail headline: IRAN WAR: DAY FOUR U.S. lambasts 'hand-wringing, pearl-clutching' Starmer as Kemi says he's 'scared' of his own voters
The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez
Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."
So why do it?
"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."
Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Remember when parties who lost elections used to be like "This is a strong message from the electorate and we will listen and learn and change" rather than "Fuck everyone who didn't vote for us, you're all extremists trying to destroy Britain"

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.
It's got to hurt
I'm more interested in a just for fun map that scales up the results rather than the swing.

Summary:
The electorate is restless.
Labour is rudderless.
Greens are hope.
Tories are hopeless.
And Reform’s silent majority has once again turned out to be a noisy minority.
Why it is Nigel Farage and Reform, rather than the Green Party, who are actually trying to fan the politics of sectarian hate in this country

Worth noting the combined Green/Labour vote was more than double Reform. Didn't even need tactical voting to beat them in the end.
Maybe if they hadn't picked such a useless candidate they would have done better.
In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out.
Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton

Reform's call to "restore Britain's Christian heritage" captures the contradictory essence of modern populist politics. It's a scramble to weaponise a religious identity that the British public themselves have left behind. 🧵

This is stenography, not news reporting. The BBC ought to provide some context, such as putting the scale of the changes which Reform claim are possible into context. This omits the major policy of revoking ILR and deporting legal migrants at unprecedented scale.

Labour lost three by-elections yesterday - all to different parties mobilising disaffected voters on their liberal left flank: Greens (see below), Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru.
Starmer/McSweeney strategy of marginalizing the left flank to go after socially con Reform curious continues to backfire
The messages between the far-right former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein reveal how Bannon worked with Boris Johnson and Farage to “overthrow” Theresa May at the height of the 2018 Brexit crisis in the UK

He says he can’t be bought.
£13.2 million says otherwise.
A shamefully valid exercise.
Henry Riley takes @mrjamesob.bsky.social through five poorly covered stories concerning Nigel Farage's Reform which the media would already have highlighted if it applied the same level of scrutiny to Farage’s party as it does to Labour.

This is the man whose company Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm represents.
Keir Starmer visited its HQ last year, at the request of Mandelson, shortly before it was handed a £240m Government contract
"The Mandelson scandal is bad. Very bad indeed. And that therefore makes it comparable to an average Tuesday under the Johnson administration."

PLEASE DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM
Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.
Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed
Noooooooo!!!!

“A poster-style political graphic with the large word ‘CONFORM’ at the top. Beneath it, bold text reads ‘Farage is getting the failed band back together’. Nigel Farage is shown prominently in the centre, with several other former Conservative and Reform-linked politicians arranged around him in a collage style. The background is beige and textured, giving a worn, poster-like feel. The Green Party logo appears at the bottom, along with small-print promotional text.”
Same Tory MPs, same austerity-led ideology, same failure.

Graphic featuring Green Party leader Zack Polanski, with his portrait at the top on a green background. A large quote reads: “As days pass and Labour seemingly find new ways to disappoint people, I remain focused on growing the Green Party. At the upcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton, it’s become clear that the Greens are the only progressive party capable of beating Reform.” Green Party logo and branding appear at the bottom.
We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.
