I guess we could try to pretend that people protesting genocide cause more violence, but it's far more likely that it's the genocide rather than the people who are appalled by it that is the problem.

He carries on alienating the natural Labour voting base he’ll lose the next election anyway. But sure, carry on lurching right and being mean to other people Starmer if that’s who you are. Enjoy the power while you have it.

Exactly. The pandering to the far right racists of the Red Wall and Reform UK voters, coupled with Rachel from Accounts’ Austerity is a betrayal of all things that were the Labour Party
Absolutely hate that they are running with this ‘stop the boats’ 💩. It’s appalling and we have WAAAY bigger problems than refugees seeking refuge…

Is the Brexit fantasy falling apart after less than a decade? Dissent is growing rapidly - and closer EU alignment has its financial benefits.

That is a magnificent review Matthew. You’ve captured and articulated beautifully how I felt too. When I returned from the cinema, I did exactly the same, that is watch the real 65 Newport and I enthused to my 13 years old son ‘you must now watch Don’t Look Back and see what I’m talking about’
On letterboxd I gave it 3.5 stars and when asked on the radio to rate it out of ten over the weekend I gave it a seven, but now, in much more depth, here's my full A Complete Unknown review (and some links to further reading at the end, as well)

I wonder what the security around Musk is like.
The BBC has rightly been criticised for false equivalence in its reporting of Musk’s malevolent smears and the Government’s rebuttal. Below is an example of BBC journalism at its best. If only it did this consistently, across all platforms... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Labour can no longer hide from the cost of Brexit. Its catastrophic impact on trade is in the OBR report they keep quoting from - but it never gets mentioned..
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
