Spot on! Mason highlights the gap between the PM's agenda and what the press actually wanted to focus on. It’s ironic when the questions are so far from what’s being pushed.

Wanting the UK to reindustrialize is like Sultana wanting to
nationalize everything: unless you've done *a ton* of careful thought, it's just a mindless whim.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?
Odd that.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

This is the problem I have with Starmer on this stuff. You can't just give a speech, box ticked, you have to go for these people. Sack Nandy put someone in post who will go 'no, actually, GB news, you don't get to broadcast this filth', for a start. Go for X, Facebook, the lot.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

Who are the 'big beasts' in Labour who you look at and think 'if Starmer goes they've done the thinking, they've got a plan'? I see lots of people who - like Starmer did - want the top job but what would they do with it when and if they got it? Can't think of anyone who fits that description.

Evidently, Britain’s journalistic hacks see no need to scrutinise ‘Dirty Farage' his insistence that he is not a racist, his associations with Nathan Gill, or the murky circumstances surrounding the purchase of his Frinton property.

Absolutely — it takes true journalistic grit to scour the nation for Britain’s most unheard-of, marginalised voices: wealthy octogenarians with multi-million-pound property portfolios and twenty-somethings already maxing out five-figure tax-advantaged savings allowances.
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Households to save £150 a year on energy bills from next April thanks to measures in the budget.
It will happen via:
1) the Energy Company Obligation no longer being added to bills
2) a 75% reduction in the Green Obligation added to bills - with the funding replaced from general taxation.

Not only did Brexit not provide any extra money for the NHS - as liar-in-chief Boris Johnson promised - but Brexit is impoverishing the UK each year by an amount of money not far off the annual NHS budget.
