Very poor performance from BBC Chair Samir Shah today. Time for him to jog on too. Zero leadership, dithering & glacially slow decision making & procrastination. No wonder Robbie Gibb is running rings around him & BBC Board. Let’s end political appointees Lisa Nandy & get rid #SavetheBBC

Very insightful & thank you for sharing. As a mixed race I watched her performance in Parliament last week in absolute horror. She was verging on gleeful in her delivery. I remain in shock that this is where Labour are going on immigration & asylum. It will not end well for them or the migrants

#strictly Fantastic opening group dance with the Strictly Allstars tonight at Blackpool. Danny Mac has still got all the right moves. Fabulous

Looks like @zackpolanski.bsky.social is on again this week. Right now his presence is the only reason to watch this or any tv political show

Best dance of the night for me is the Paso from Karen & Carlos. With no previous dance experience she was fearless & quite brilliant #strictly

I don’t enjoy the couples choice dances but Alex @ Jojo created an engaging dance tonight. They are all getting a little too personal for me each week. Let’s focus on the dancing #strictly

Girls are not underage.
They are children.
Children can't consent to sex.
It's rape.
People still seem to be battling with understanding this in 21st century

I see that legislation to stop the sale of wet wipes containing plastic will be coming into force in UK in 18 months to combat ‘fat bergs’. Having lived in France & now Italy since 2020 I am a total convert to the use of the bidet. It is so civilised! We Brits are squeamish but they work & are green

It is quite shocking to hear someone talk about their lived experience like this. Heartbreaking actually. But I strongly believe that the dehumanising immigration rhetoric being used by the Tories, Reform and regrettably Labour gives succour and confidence to racists to talk and behave this way

Yes, she was really low par today. As a full fat left wing Labour MP, I’ve seen her really go for it on previous occasions

Am watching this now & wondering why she had to be the RW representative today? It is so lazy & shortsighted by #bbcNews Rebecca Long-Bailey is on her own as the voice of the Left

So Trump is now authorising the release of the #epsteinfiles as essentially he knows he will probably lose the vote but we will all believe that this is what he wanted to do all along 😹

Alex Norris the Labour minister doing the news round today on TV and radio sounds like a total Tory. He is an automaton without an ounce of compassionate nuance in his voice or demeanour. Is this Blue Labour? I hate it

As a former Folkestone resident it was a massive achievement for Tony Vaughan to be elected as a Labour MP there. It has been rock solid Tory for decades. He cannot want to be a one term MP plus he has Filipino heritage. Can he lead a backbencher revolt on this?
