GB News has never made a profit because it doesn’t exist to make a profit. It exists to exert pressure to push broadcast news channels further rightwards. It is about further poisoning the information environment. That’s why it exists.

Incredible to read Orwell and miss the point entirely.

The British right all just want to be MAGA Americans. They all just want to be famous influencers. Every thing they say and do needs to be seen through that lens.

It’s a little-known fact about Kemi Badenoch that years ago she must have suffered a traumatic brain injury that has left her completely unable to recall any event after 2002. That may sound ridiculous, but once you know it, it explains an awful lot about British politics. Take, for instance, Wednesday’s Prime Minister’s Questions. The Tory leader demanded to know why Britain wasn’t joining the Americans in attacking Iran. That’s a brilliant question if, like Badenoch — and apparently her entire team — you have absolutely no knowledge of “UK Involvement With Events in the Middle East: 2003 to Present Day”. Otherwise, even the most slow-witted MP would get a pretty handy clue from the first three letters of the target country’s name.

The best explanation for the British right's enthusiasm for war with Iran: brain damage. thecritic.co.uk/the-...

A reminder: Matt Goodwin lost heavily in spite of an almost total lack of tactical voting, not because of it.

The combined Green/Labour vote was 66%, versus 28.7% for Reform.

If Labour and the Greens split the vote 50/50 – a total coordination fail – he'd have finished third, not second.

We’re not taxing the wealthiest enough.

We’re not spending enough on welfare.

Inequality is the single biggest issue facing the UK.

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.

🚨 Rachel Reeves rightly points out the damage Brexit has done to our economy:

"Brexit cut us off from our closest trading partners."

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

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

When do they start calling it a special military operation?

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." -Minnesota native F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Do you accept there is such a thing as international law? And if you were Prime Minister would you try to adhere to it?"

Farage: "And international law? Well it is whatever you want it to be isn't it really? You know what is international law?"

Reform UK would be dangerous for all of our rights.

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Every single person with Trump Derangement Syndrome was right about everything. Would that fit on a hat? Could we get one for Farage & Truss and make them wear them?

We’ve got to get the right wingers banned from the American social media apps.

I genuinely think that would save humanity.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

There doesn’t seem to be any standards or values. There’s no good practice across the industry. Information as entertainment posted as quickly as possible. Hot takes with little to back them up from all over. Everyone moving further and further right. The legacy outlets gave up.

About 15 years ago I decided to turn to sport/ football full time as opposed to stick with news coverage. It looked too depressing, and I couldn’t see how it could be any fun.

Now, every news reporter is a sports journalist. They pick a team, they’re hysterical, and it’s entertainment first.

Hard to recall a war that even those starting it couldn't really come up a pretence for. They've already blown up nuclear weapons capacity and bombing won't force the regime out.

Every time I watch the news I just keep thinking is anybody going to stop this mad man?

Tragic news. Red Dwarf is a masterwork. I’d been looking forward to the book this year too. Thanks Rob.

Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

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

If Labour doesn’t start appealing to the centre left now, they really can’t read the room. Reform voters aren’t ever going to vote Labour. They never were. Obviously.

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.
