Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Brexit hasn't been betrayed.
The British people have not been betrayed.
The betrayal was Brexit.
Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Labour needs several million buckets of ice-cold water poured over their head and the nation's church bells ringing in unison as a very loud wake-up call. Hopefully, this is it.
People voted for hope and change and vision not Reform lite and the same old Tory shite.

Shut down the youth clubs.
Sell off the playing fields.
Put up "no ball games" signs.
Make public places hostile to teenagers.
Then:
"Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…

What makes photos of MARILYN MONROE on location during the troubled shoot of THE MISFITS (1961) even more tragic is that although her mental health was hanging by a thread in what would be her last (completed) Film, for me she was at her most iridescently beautiful in it.

Brexit has obliterated a large chunk of trade between Ireland and Great Britain.
And - no real surprise, surely - it has hurt the UK significantly more than it has hurt Ireland.
The greatest act of self-harm in our history just keeps on giving.

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.
Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view.
What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer).
FFS.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.
Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?
Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.
Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.
Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation
FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…
