It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

From Robert Jenrick's video - in which he did not see a single other white face on a brief trip to Birmingham, despite his video showing that he did.

"He must have been walking around Handsworth with his eyes closed" writes Dan Cave

EXCLUSIVE: Not only have the Tories depleted #Hillingdon Council's reserves to the lowest in London... 7 months into the new financial year and they are the ONLY borough NOT to have published their draft accounts... 💷📉🧐
Read in @mylondonnews

Council misses deadline and is only borough to fail to publish accounts
The London Assembly member for the area criticised the council and said families 'will be paying the price of this mismanagement for decades to come'

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom"

Farage has his arse handed to him on a plate.

Terrific piece by @joxley.jmoxley.co.uk, and exactly right, I think:
They are just like the Tories
Different policies, same sense of misjudgement

Dire stuff from the Sunday Times. It would be funny, if the paper didn't have the influence it does. Via Private Eye
"SUNDAY TIMES TABLES": "LABOUR set to build fewer houses than the Tories," warned a Sunday Times headline on 17 November. To evidence this claim, the article explained: "The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is projecting that 1.3 million homes will be built across the UK over the course of the current parliament - fewer than the 1.6 million built since 2010 under the Conservatives." Or, in other words, according to the figures cited by the Sunday Times - one of which relates to just five years while the other to 14 years - Labour are projected to build 145,714 more homes a year than the Tories did!

A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

Could be a good indication of the effect Musk will have at the Department of Government Efficiency.
With obviously far more devastating implications. Pleasing oligarchs and fascists. Making life hell for everyone else.
