This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

The Liz Truss show is a must watch (if you need a laugh)

The cringiest least self-aware thing you’ll see this year. Even her weird guests look embarrassed and she sounds a bit drunk.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

Rising racism blamed for collapse in number of foreign nurses coming to UK.

UKIP/Reform/Farage damaged the economy with Brexit, now destroying the NHS.

The UK is an ageing society, without immigration the economy can't function. Will we ever get an honest debate?

Between this, Brexit, anti-immigration hate-mongering, spouting Russian propaganda in the European Parliament, and taunting younger pupils with antisemitic insults at school, we're beginning to think Nigel Farage has always been a wrong'un.

Chris mason seems very selective about his opinions. The bbc is not fit for purpose. Where is nandy?
This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.

"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

What a profoundly nasty person

(also we seem to move ever closer to a reproduction of Orwell's description of Winston Smith's trip to the cinema, as the audience cheered images of people killed in the water "then there was a wonderful shot of a child’s arm going up up up right up into the air")
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’

The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

I was quite enjoying Today on Radio 4 in spite of Robinson failing to take Mel Stride up on his claims about inflation (they’ve both forgotten about the Lettuce it seems). Then he started hectoring Reeves and it was all back to normal and I remembered why I stopped listening to it

It a bit sad that lady on the BBC News coverage of the pope thinks it’s the Nicean Creed rather than the Nicene Creed.

It’s a pretty minor point to be fair but details are important for our national broadcaster
