HOW JOURNALISM
WORKS
First two weeks of January:
Yields on government bonds rise dramatically. Headlines include
"Reeves facing Β£6bn blow from rising gilt yields", "Reeves must cut taxes or risk driving the economy off a cliff' (both Telegraph); "Labour's borrowing costs surge 'worse than Liz Truss chaos'" (Mail); and "Reeves battles market sell-off as bond yields rise" (Times).
15 January: Gilt yields fall dramatically after better than expected economic news, erasing almost all increase of previous week.
Almost no headlines mention this in any of the above newspapers.
Glory for a moment in the fevered desperation of the Tory press to have someone do worse than their very own, very special, out-of-control firehose, Liz Truss, spraying them all forever with her mess.
No. Not this time, you silly twats. The wait for a replacement goes onβ¦

Don't forget the workers. Everyday workers are asked to perform deliveries that have been made far to big on purpose and are set up to fail. When it comes to negotiating a new wage increase. R M we have no money ! 1st class stamps going through the roof as they don't want a 1 day delivery anymre

Nick Candy says he will raise more than Β£40 million to make Nigel Farage Prime Minister.
Oh ok. Thatβs how itβs going to work now, is it? Democracy torched by spoiled brat billionaires buying power for themselves and their arsehole mates.

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights β just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says
βWe need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & thatβs what the public wantsβ
Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

I will give him a chance to sort this shit show out. I'm old enough to remember when Labour took over in 97 what state the NHS was in. 18 months down to 18 weeks . And here we are back at 18months again. I will give him a chance if you arnt happy with him you can stand against him π

We need a free press
Itβs vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled
βJust three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation..all answerable to nobody and with no concern for democracyβ
We absolutely need a free press

V sick of being force fed Tory ugliness. Even with a Labour govt, the rightwing media, culture war and prejudices still dominate our national debate, drag govt into their space, drown out liberal voices and stop us scrutinising the toxic shittery of their ideologies.
Was 14yrs of failure not enough?

The 'Two Tier' Journalism Exposed by the Farmers Protests
The glowing coverage handed to the hugely wealthy people leading the campaign against inheritance tax reforms shows who has a voice in the media and who doesn't
If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

βIt is beyond surreal that someone writes in a national newspaper that Liz Truss was a genius and Keir Starmer should walk the plank.β
@mrjamesob.bsky.social believes that Brexiteers are βstill not ready to admit their mistakeβ and so their response is to βoverthrow the Government'.
