BBC politics Iive has yet again platformed unelected Zia Yousef to spout his toxic nonsense. Why are they so biased?

FFS! Is Robbie Gibb still at the BBC? WTF is Gibb doing that provides anyone with confidence that he’s acting with impartiality and in our national interest? I’ll wait…

Yep. Refereed for 3 years. Some of the guys were horrendous. Teams played with fear

Theres so few betting shops left. Ours closed three years ago. All online. I remember the Betfair CEO Getting a shitload in Ireland. Obviously no shelter of UK profits

If this is a reaction to Reform yesterday. If so. Utter nonsense. Concentrate on own policies. Need to look forward using compassionate policies. Tax wealth. Sort out those who shelter offshore. Improve services. Increase minimum wages so that work pays and large companies are not subsidised.

Hopefully this is only the start. A spotlight has been shown on the ‘ firm’ which needs greater scrutiny. Appalling levels of wealth and entitlement. One house and no hangers on.

A waste of a good education, clearly.

And now we have Steer Calmer wading in. Doesn’t he have more important things to worry about. Cost of living. Poverty. Economy.
Better be involved in a football match??

Why or why are Labour politicians getting involved. It makes them look like they support the Israeli action in Palestine. Forgetting public safety for peaceful Villa fans. Take a different view. Look at the Maccabi fans behaviour in Europe. Public safety is paramount.

Good to see Gary getting under the skin of the far right. Showing them up and their toxic views.

Andy. Sadly United have consistently made seemingly good players worse. They then improve when they leave. It’s possibly the pressure or the coaching, the systems or the off field workload. The loss in transfer fees is a huge drain on funds. It has to be solved. Over go back to youth and take time.

Booked. Looking forward to it. Not been to the Leeds playhouse before. Poor form

What about the architects of the VIP lane? That was where a great deal of public money was wasted

I agree what is said about Reform, but he needs to starve them of the oxygen they crave. Start improving communication on Labour and achievements. Promote Labour

I think that’s the problem. It’s not the ID card, which is a good idea, its the implementation and management. Who can we trust? It can’t be the private sector

Things are not really that bad: balancing the government’s books This government has become identified with a few bad mistakes. But the real balance of achievements points to a rather different picture

Labour made 76 key pledges. 15 delivered, 16 on track, 20 in progress. Only 9 “not kept.”

That’s not nothing. But media storms about a few issues dominate attention.

They seem to be steeped in fear. Fear of the wealthy, fear of coming out against the Israelis, fear of Trump, fear of theBrexiteers , fear of the populists. Whilst letting down their traditional base. They definitely need a reset without Starmer and Reeves.

Labour, imo, need to get back on the front foot. Promote the hell out of what they are doing, rather than trying to outreform Reform. Really improve communication.

If you are a Snake Oil salesman. Your objective is to get your product in front of as many potential customers as possible. The media is giving him that opportunity, whist rubbishing the other products in the market. When you are a good salesman, you can sell anything, even if it’s a box of lies

We want well paid workers with a stake in their businesses. The best working conditions for the 21st century. Not going back to the exploitation of the past

I see the police are investigating this. Haven’t they got better things to do. Where was the time spent on Tory Covid fraud and significant tax evasion. Just saying.

I really enjoyed General Studies. I recall learning about the history of the Arab Israeli conflict and occasionally watching good historic films. Got an E at A level though as I was rubbish at languages

I just bought a 4 pack of Boddingtons. Thought it tasted a lot different from my early days of drinking in Manchester. Noticed it’s owned by Budweiser. Lesson learned. Read the label !!!

Avoid Amazon. Partly as they are American and I understand their European Head office is in Dublin. Can’t think why!
