Live scenes of Kemi Badenoch at the tory party conference

Seemingly scrapping every unpopular tax and duty going, yet still somehow making 47 billion of savings

Impressive

Kemi Badenoch at The Conservative Party conference just now, bemoaning the state of the NHS, and public services in this country

I'm not even joking

Arsonists complaining about the decimated state of the house they set fire to, comes to mind

Incredible stuff

Kemi Badenoch just said to Laura Kuenssberg that the tory govt's Rwanda plan was working

Come on man, if you're gonna make stuff up, at least make it vaguely believable

Penny Mordaunt seemingly suggesting to Laura Kuenssberg, that Trade Unions opposing the genocidal actions of the Israeli govt is antisemitic

I thought we'd moved on beyond that tired argument

With such an immense back catalogue as The Fall, I sometimes forget about his occasional forays into the world of collaborations

This is a bit of a stomper though

Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf and Reform complaining about incitement

The same party who made Lucy Connolly, a person convicted for very specific incitement to violence, a guest of honour at their party conference

If Chris Mason could manage to take a little break from wiping away the tears of Zia Yusuf & Nigel Farage at some point, maybe he could take the time to also ask them about:

- Tax returns
- Clacton House
- Russian bribery

The speech by Kier Starmer was very well received, and disappointingly, we couldn't actually find any delegates with anything negative to say about it, so now let's go over to Henry Zeffman, who will make up some negative comments from some imaginary delegates instead

Vicki Young:

'We are waiting for a response from Nigel Farage to Kier Starmer's speech'

You might be, but we're not. Enough of this childish, divisive, shit-stirring narrative. It's pathetic

Time our media grew up

Henry Zeffman and Vicki Young, both keen to talk about the challenges that Reform present for Kier Starmer

A bit more reluctant when it comes to covering the issue of their associations with Russian collusion and, let's face it, treason

A peace plan for Gaza, involving Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump and Tony Blair?

Sounds great. None of those guys have a track record of putting their own interests ahead of those of humanity

Nathan Gill, close political ally of Nigel Farage, proven to have colluded with Russia

That's pretty seismic for British politics

Given Farage's admitted admiration for Putin, I'm sure Laura Kuenssberg is going to be all over this

Right, Laura?

Can't help feeling that this interview with Kier Starmer would have been more insightful and informative, if it had been conducted by a professional journalist like Victoria Derbyshire, rather than a sensationalist shill like Laura Kuenssberg

I'll try and think of an appropriate day and see if it sparks any interest or momentum

Adrian Gosling @digitalsunshine.bsky.social · 13d

Just be honest, Vicki Young

You've deliberately tried to dumb down #PoliticsLive, because you've been given a mandate by The BBC to try and appeal to more Reform voters, and you quietly suspect a lot of them are quite thick

All terrorism charges against Mo Chara from Kneecap have been dropped

So the only thing the authorities achieved was giving the band the kind of publicity and exposure most could only dream of

Keep up the good work, lads 😂

Anyone else reckon we should have a Half Man Half Biscuit version of Fall Friday on here?

Feels like something that should exist

Anyway, I digress...

Seriously enjoying the debut LP by Swedish Hip Hop duo, Deki Alem

Shades of 90's old skool, but fused with all kinds of eclectic musical backdrops, which makes them sound both fresh & hard to pigeonhole

Helps that that the tubes all bang

The new look Politics Live has the appearance of a programme that should be being presented by Richard Madeley

Don't worry though, nothing else has changed, they're already talking about Nigel Farage

If you're being criticised by Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Tommy Robinson and Israel themselves, that's probably a sign that you're doing the right thing

If recognising the existence of Palestine is our 'moral duty', you'd think it may also be our moral duty not to provide weapons or military support to the country which is trying to bomb and starve them out of existence
