Labour's Pat McFadden rinsed Kuenssberg over the fact that when Mandelson was appointed, the media didn't mention Epstein's connection and opposition welcomed it. #UKPolitics

The BBC is funded by licence fee payers and claims strict impartiality, yet too often its reporting feels shaped by narrative rather than evidence. When a publicly funded broadcaster loses the trust of the public it serves, the problem is no longer editorial judgment - it is institutional failure.

This morning I am still seeing people post to say they are joining Labour to support the PM.

The media's attempts to oust our PM have failed.

He is gaining support and comes out of this episode stronger than before.

Keep the momentum going! Keep posting support.

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.

Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

UK tourist Becky Burke was arrested by ICE in the USA and kept in handcuffs and chains for 19 days before being deported back to Wales.

Her 'crime', doing unpaid work in return for accomodation (which isn't illegal).

This is the evil of Donald Trump's USA, DON'T GO.

Trump (and right wingers in Britain & EU) often claim that the USA economy outperforms β€œsclerotic” Europe.
A more comprehensive comparison gives a different perspective about the quality of life in each:

My goodness. Two consecutive days with positive stories on the opinion pages of The Guardian:

While the headlines point to a bleak midwinter for the UK economy, if you apply enough festive cheer, it is just about possible to imagine a better 2026.

Interest rate cut to 3.75%

We despair that the rightwing keep shifting the Overton Window further right. They never suggest that leaving the ECHR is impossible or not the right time. They just demand it. And we end up discussing it.
It’s time the left pushed back.
Not put up β€˜can’t do’ barriers to our own hopes and aims.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

It’s deafening.
