Agreed. And while we're at it, Tories moaning about £500 to get a criminal migrant on a plane when they paid over £4K per head to get 3 people on a plane to Rawanda. And goodness knows what other "strange financial stuff" is yet to be uncovered!

That is worrying insightful and seems to, sadly, be about on the money.
Personally (and I think this is backed by data) I largely blame the rather thick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 electorate!🫣😱

“The UK has a system in which a TV channel can pay a political leader almost half a million pounds a year and give him an hour an evening to react to his rivals without breaking a single rule.”

You might think controlling GB News gives you huge influence over UK politics – especially on the right. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, as we reveal in this week's issue of @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

A very early, rarely shown and barely heard of film called Lamb , about an Irish Priest in an inner city. As I recall, he got decent reviews on that one.

Agreed. I know you're too polite to add names, but Peston, Rigby, Mason, Kunesberg, Coates, Farage, etc. all in MSM are covert enablers of the far right. Presumably, the VAT on school fees was too much for them. Such is the anti Labour rhetoric and bile. Call it out.

Yes agreed but in truth his biggest problem is right wing, billionaire owned media having a concerted, ourly pile on since day 1. Made even worse as they ignored everything the prior 14 years. Imagine if they'd gone after Johnson on Lebdev, loans, Covid fraud, etc with the same gusto!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social listening to you right now. Bang on about Badenoch and Daily Mail column / access. PS - ard you aware, your employer has just given her a "monthly phone in" platform with failed Tory candidate Ian Dale? Seems fair and balanced. I assume the PM will get the same offer?

A very disturbing thing I missed in researching this week's column.

Indeed and the UK press / nedia are the most culpable of all. He's rearely if ever questioned forensically or fact checked.
