Another misjudgment from Keir Starmer re that Doyle fellow. He has to stop doing this. Having said that, itโ€™s a bit rich of the Lib Dems having a go at Starmer from what they think is the moral high ground.

I honestly donโ€™t think journalists understand how disappointed many people are in them.

How disappointed people are in the obvious failures to investigate Reform / Farage.

How disappointed they are in the lack of scrutiny of the other parties.

Oh dear! BBC Today using a tiny snippet from the Epstein files to promote Trump. Giving the false impression that โ€œgood guyโ€ Trump grassed up Epstein 20 years ago, telling the FBI he knew Epstein was up to no good. Itโ€™s less than 1% of what is known about their relationship & blatant distortion.

Tory MPs regularly sent letters in to their 1922 committee, hoping to get the numbers needed to remove their leader. BBC reported is as a polite & orderly process carried out in the professional manner expected from the party that was โ€œborn to leadโ€. Utter tripe of course. It was 5 years of chaos.

BBC news describes the resignation of a govt advisor almost nobody has heard of as โ€œchaosโ€. After replacing successive PMs, multiple chancellors and umpteen Home Secretaries, only with reluctance did the BBC go near such a term during the Johnson, Truss and Sunak years. Pathetic from BBC News.

Set up. If Trump gives her clemency, Ghislaine Maxwell will testify - exonerating Trump & Clinton. Itโ€™s possible that Clinton doesnโ€™t need โ€œexonerationโ€ and will explain, but Trump says he wants to โ€œhelp Billโ€. Let the Clintons speak on camera, in public and let justice take its course. #contrick

They mention Trump now, but only in a story about him reaching a โ€œdealโ€ with Iran.

He got a mention? In the bulletins Iโ€™ve heard, the name Trump is noticeably absent. All to protect his biggest fan, Farage.

The BBC are covering the latest Epstein releases in their news bulletins. Unsurprisingly they donโ€™t mention Trump at all. Why? Because protecting Trump means protecting the monster they created - Farage, whose close association with Trump is the biggest threat to his election prospects.

Labourโ€™s Gorton and Denton byelection campaign hit by fallout from โ€˜vileโ€™ WhatsApp chat Exclusive: Report on six Labour councillors comes just weeks before byelection triggered by Andrew Gwynneโ€™s retirement

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Ppl guilty of this behaviour should be kicked out of the party. Looks like the โ€œnewโ€ info has been leaked by Labour people (or former Labour people) to ensure we lose the by-election, just to make some stupid point. Thatโ€™s how disloyal some of them are.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Yes, 3m Greater Manchester residents may well have ended up with a Reform mayor at huge financial cost to the party. Itโ€™s a skint Labour Party already.

The stuff in the Epstein Files must be truly horrific if they are prepared to murder random citizens to keep them hidden.

There have been public demonstrations against violence for decades, including the violence against and murder of black people. To suggest that โ€œfolksโ€ didnโ€™t care unless victims were white is wildly inaccurate.

Some were premature in using the term fascist, along with others, including โ€œItโ€™s like 1984โ€. Both perfectly valid now as โ€œreject the evidence of your eyes and earsโ€ becomes reality.
