What we are seeing in the UK now, is the same as FDR had in the 1930's. Big money, through their ownership of the media, trying to bring down the Prime Minister. FDR took them on and won, serving 3 terms as President and guiding the US through the events of the Great Depression and WW2.

The BBC hacks gorging themselves over Mandelson & going after the PM. Whilst doing that, they haven't forgotten their love affair with Reform. They've given them a nice advert to raise their profile, with a 1 hour documentary, by Kneussberg. Having so many right-wingers in the BBC is paying off.

You are right. All the media, with a few small exceptions want a Reform Govt, or settle for a Tory one. They want what has happened in the US. with Farage as the wannabe Trump. The media owners will then hold the power and Reform will let get even more wealthy. It'll be a spivs/crooks paradise.

Those very same media owners want Starmer/Labout out, so they can get a tame Reform Govt in and run the UK like the US, where they become even more wealthy and retain power over the Govt.

I dumped Private Eye, when some Eye hack wrote an article mocking Captain Robert Nairac, after he had been murdered by the IRA. It was ghastly and in very bad taste.

Why is this right-wing mouthpiece, from failed 'Talk Tv', now with a grand title, spouting nonsense on Jeremy Kyle's breakfast show?. Anti-Govt propaganda rammed down gullible throats, first thing in the morning. She lives in the Dubai, not the UK!. The right-wing media is a threat to democracy.

To be clear. When you hear or read there is 'growing pressure' on a politician, this is just a media narrative. They live by chaos & clicks & want to keep every pot boiling for all they are worth. Be aware of this simple truth when you see it in the media. BBC too recently, sadly. Especially the BBC

BBC news/politics is down and out, compared to what I remember it to be. It has been taken over by the Conservatives, during their 14 year term. Their coverage is so tabloid newspaper thses days.

Farage is named in the Epstein files, Starmer isn't, but somehow the media seem determined to force Starmer out. I wonder why?

The UK has the most right-wing press in Europe. Dominated by a handful of wealthy owner, who don't even live in the country. Private power, interfering in democracy.

Faint hearts. As if replacing Starmer is the magic that will guarantee Labour will win a general election. Blair went & Brown came in & lost. The left under Corbyn got their chance & lost, twice. Starmer has been PM for 18 months. He has another 3+ years to go. Cutting & running now is madness.

There have always been hypocritical types in Labour. They ride on the back of the party & under its banner to get elected, yet are willing to be disloyal when it suits them & they can't have their own way. The ideological left have been the bain of Labour for many decades. They're losers & spiteful.

Erron Gordon, Head of BBC News, Studios & Ops. No mention in his, 'X' account frontpiece, that he use to be employed by GB News 2023/24, as Executive Creative Director & Head of Studio Output. The question is, why has he censored this piece of information on his 'X' CV?. I can guess why.

Tory media trying to entangle the PM with Mandelson. Hindsight is a wonderful thing & I'm sure the PM is not omnisicient. He is pressing on, openly. This will fade away soon. There was less fuss, when Boris Johnson was socialising with an exKGB officer, without any officials or protection officers.
