Just checked and you're a troll with no posts so I'm blocking you. Yuck.

Fine, they're rubbish, doesn't matter what they do or don't do. It's easier just to take a simplistic approach instead of noting what is good, bad or indifferent. Political discourse & debate have gotten progressively worse, especially since the also simplistic yes/no brexit debate. It's grim.

Of course it isn't over, you'll be trying every attempt possible to keep this story alive & kicking in order to further attack & undermine the government, even when it gets things right. True, they're crap at times but your relentless attacks are way out of proportion & they're pissing off readers

Nasty little bigot blocked so I don't have to see their hateful nonsense. Fixed it for you.

Another new low in the Guardian today. It's so depressing to read page after page bashing & undermining the government. I don't support everything Labour do in office, far from it, but the levels of abuse aimed at them is off the scale. It's like they taking their cues from Steve Bannon. Grim.

It's making search engines like Google increasingly stupid, autocorrect too. As for all the 'helpful' copilot type crap, everyone in our office just turns them off as they are a pointless irritation.....

Just checked 'Portia' profile and the words that jumped out are 'trump supporter'. Needless to say, I have just blocked them. Zero tolerance for anyone supporting that piece of corrupt shit.

The latest what exactly. Everything to do with this budget from the weeks of frenzied speculation to the horror it wasn't a catastrophic but successful budget, all followed by more frenzy about Reeves supposedly misleading the press by making them make up stories has been quite the spectacle.

Here we go again, the Home Office proving its worth by being as needlessly cruel as possible to asylum seekers, this time children. It is one ministry, the DWP being the other, that does its job badly, expensively, cruelly & which needs to be broken up & reformed from top to bottom.

Too busy turning a dull, sensible budget into a catastrophic, government toppling event in search of clicks & engagement for the journalists to take note of anything like the escalating climate emergency & attempts to discuss what the threats are & how we tackle them.

If you don't keep the bond markets on side then it becomes a very expensive learning curve as Truss & the UK economy found to her & the economies cost. Fast. Budgets are always a balancing act & they can actually be destabilised by things like a hyperbolic press crying wolf, funnily enough.

My God, yet another article attacking Reeves's 'misleading' budget. It's a feeding frenzy & the press cannot let the story die. Refuse to. The budget itself was a solid, bit boring, over cautious one that had some really good things in it, not that you would know by reading the hyperbolic press.

It is absurd. That's not to say the Labour government don't deserve to be criticised at times but the nonsense & hyperbole surrounding this budget, 'mansion tax' too, has been extraordinary. It really does feel like a concerted effort to bring down the government starting with Reeves.

Yet they are still going for the governments throat. The attacks this weekend, continuing today, have been absurd when compared to the reality of the budget. I guess they are determined to undermine the government.

They are desperate to keep this story alive. This & the associated 'mansion tax' story where a lot of wealthy people get front pages to cry wolf because they will have to pay a whopping £200 or so per month because their house or houses are worth more than £2,000,000. Result, widespread mockery.

The Tories were attacked when Truss's budget crashed, though not when it was announced as there was widespread praise for Truss & Kwarteng, at last a true Tory budget! The opposite to what happened with Reeves, though in her case the headlines are pretending her budget was as bad as Truss's.

This story plus the associated one about the 'mansion tax' where people are pretending their pension plans have been ruined by paying an extra £200 a month because they own a £2,000,000+ house, or houses, are now generating mockery more than anything else. The headlines are way off the reality.

That's the sort of silly line that is chucked out on a regular basis that's so infuriating. Untrue too. Most of the manifesto is on track, the latest budget did not do a Truss on the Markets & was actually pretty sensible & there's a lot of repair work being done behind the scenes, not that you care

Misogyny is off the scale too as it is mainly senior Labour women that are relentlessly attacked. The only one that has escaped so far is Mahmood as the right wing press like the way she behaves just like all her tory predecessors when it comes to making life hell for immigrants.

The manifesto is largely on track, but you're right about some gaffes & also the stupid Reform Lite strategy that has really upset many Labour voters who don't support demonising immigrants, benefit claimants or the trans community. So, some own goals but the press & media attacks are off the scale.

I doubt very many people know what a PV2 policy is, let alone feel betrayed. I realise that you must support brexit & therefore seek to belittle or mock people that now wish to rejoin the EU, which is most people, but don't underestimate how many Labour voters felt genuinely betrayed in 2016.

A substantial chunk of 'boomers' have behaved appallingly but too many live in poverty, the state pension is abysmal & it's true that attacks on pensioners, some of them appalling, are ramping up whilst attacks on tax avoiding & evading individuals & companies is sidelined. No accident.

I honestly believe that the slew of stories promoted in the press & media highlighting the woes of people owning property, sometimes multiple properties, worth £2 Million+ are having the opposite effect to the one the press intended. All they are generating are mockery & disbelief.
