Sorry @mrjamesob.bsky.social . For the first time I have had to switch off. The delight in recovering the hostages is lost in the propaganda and I hope the Palestinians have the same opportunity to broadcast their views. @lbc.co.uk

What a waste of C4 airtime.

Reform spokesperson Mason clearly did not like being corrected by Keir Starmer over ‘nuance'. Laughable that the #BBCNews think Mason is remotely credible.
Such a fragile little ego.

Er sorry James but can you give me one good reason to rate Mason and by what metric? He's no @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Mason is a snivelling pompous weasel. BBC please do better. Ed Davey did well holding his temper.

Your updates are very helpful in countering the spurious expectations not required by the Reform party via Mason and the BBC.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · Sep 18

So fed up of people being so bloody negative about anything.

Anything the Labour government does has people being negative about it without providing any evidence beyond a 'feeling' or because what past governments might have done, or because the plan doesn't fit completely with their own ideas.

@ottoenglish.bsky.social filling in some of the inconvenient gaps in popular historical narratives makes a very entertaining and informative read. An interesting overlap with @davidmcwecon.bsky.social book Money in the fascinating and compelling story of Roger Casement. #booksky #greatreads

Book covers. Notorious by Otto English and Money by David McWilliams.

#bbcnews Mason referred to graffiti sprayed on Angela Rayner’s home as commentary, not vandalism. Followed by Moritz finding 3 Vox pops to slag her off. Independent BBC? Mason mentions Farage with his 4 mp’s as a threat to Labour several times, followed by an article on the reform conference. WTF

Chris Mason reform spokesperson back on #BBC1. No actual news from him just opines on the threat posed by the 4 reform MPs. Sun level reporting. FFS.

Here’s some hard facts for a right wing media desperately trying to create a false narrative - Ecotricity has never had subsidies (fact one). The various industry schemes that get cited as subsidies - are not subsidies, they involve no public money (fact two).

A very interesting read about something most of us know little about, but which is an indicator of confidence in the direction the UK is taking and a sign that more interest rate cuts could be coming (personally something I want to see a lot off more over the next 2 years to save me from Liz Truss).

According to an expert on Andrew Marr there was a Gilts Option being auctioned today. The £5bn was oversubscribed to £17bn. That implies confidence in UK plc

2 million breakfasts have so far been served at the government's free breakfast clubs in pilot schools across England.

The plan is for every primary school in England to offer them.

4.2 million additional appointments in the NHS since July last year

That’s double our target & 100,000 more appointments a week than what the Tories were doing!
