Great lines from Starmer at PMQs today, including:

“A little festive advice to those in Reform UK… If mysterious men from the east appear bearing gifts, this time, report it to the police."

And:
Keir Starmer goes after Nigel Farage at PMQs:

"Apparently the leader of Reform is in the lounge."

"I know he likes an early getaway at Christmas to get to his place in France."

I can't get Alexa to play recent episodes of #Uncanny It repeatedly played the Series 1 prequel. Today it offered me Series 1, Episode 4! #UncannyCommunity , anyone else experiencing these issues? It's driving me crazy!
#uncanny friends. Do you listen to it on Alexa? The last episode available on my BBC Sounds via Alexa is from 31 October! Is this true for you? I’ve tagged @dannyrobins.bsky.social @bafflegabble.bsky.social and emailed BBC to no avail

NOT ONE HEADLINE

Not one has a single mention of Labour’s outstanding achievements on workers rights, BBC Charter, Planning Rules, Investigation of Russian interference in our politics.

Why?

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Trump: We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

Updated child poverty forecasts reflecting latest forecast and child poverty strategy. Poverty set to fall through the Parliament - we estimate by a chunky 300k but by a less chunky 1%. That's because the number of kids in the population is also falling.
Updating our projections for the latest data and forecasts from the OBR, we project that child poverty rates will fall to 31 per cent by 2029-30, 3.5 percentage points lower than would have been the case in the absence of policy changes …

Good. Let’s not let it go away. This man wants to be Britain’s next PM. His denials and obfuscations around his long history of repulsive behaviour show that he is utterly unfit.
