if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

Prime Minister finds his voice in the fight against Farage Campaigners have welcomed Keir Starmer's speech at the Labour Party conference and urged the Prime Minister to "deliver on those words".

@pimlicat.bsky.social: “There was a confidence and authenticity in how Starmer delivered his speech, clearly more at ease speaking against racism, division and Brexit than echoing anti-immigrant sentiment.

“The challenge now is to deliver on these words."

I’m sure this will get the same attention it would from the right wing press if any other leader was on holiday during a Parliamentary session…

Remember the uproar when Starmer said he tried to have a family meal on Fridays?

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

So let down by something that was in their manifesto, right.

Fully agree with doing whatever we can to ditch Brexit. All abit naive this morning though I thought.

Thanks mate. Honestly, it’s the only memory I have for town Stuff. Forget all sorts but always had a wierd thing about squad numbers! 😂

(I even messaged someone this week to see if they knew Geza and Burns’s numbers yet!)

Badenoch must resist calls to leave ECHR Campaigners have called on the leader of the Opposition to show leadership after Tory MP Steve Barclay urged Kemi Badenoch to pledge to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

Leaving the ECHR won’t do anything to stop small boats.

But it *will* compromise the Good Friday Agreement, lead to the suspension of essential parts of the Brexit Deal and put us alongside Belarus & Russia as the only European nations outside the treaty.

Tate announcing he wants to be British PM at the same time as growing anger towards grooming gangs is an interesting strategy...

Telling that Starmer's response focused on the tweets about Jess Phillips rather than himself. Systems and policies matter, but never underestimate the importance of having a genuinely decent human being in charge.

Not interested in an echo chamber, never have been and I’m sure this place won’t be like that. I got plenty of opposing views on the other place before Musk, which I’m always keen to hear, thing is they were reasoned and sensible. It’s become toxic over there and Musk pushes that with his algorithm.
