Remember how the right lost their actual minds because SOME found a sense of twisted justice in the murder of Charlie Kirk?
This is how the actual President responds to the murder of someone who merely didn't like him.
America is lost.

anyone else feel like there's been a whole lot of negative 'noise' that comes to nothing, around the government recently.
Like, there was something to gain from certain sections in undermining the government as they approach a major budget...🤔👀

So this is interesting from Robert Peston.
The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong.
As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist!

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

“Nobody thought a Labour government would have to raise taxes by more than £70bn,” claims one insider in this excellent piece. Shows the problem of the climate of fear in meetings created by some of Starmer’s aides, in that plenty of Labour insiders, did, in fact, think this!
