pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/r... £ Sad. My personal roots are in Bermondsey and the SLP is embedded in my folk mythology along with Tommy Steele and The Blue. On a macro note, it's worrying there are increasingly fewer 'legitimate' local news sources available to rebut lies spread on social media.

BBC1 Bank Holiday afternoon offer: Money for Nothing, Bidding Room, Escape to the Country, Garden Rescue, Finish Line, Pointless. Meanwhile more quizzes on BBC2: The Edge. Lightning, Unbeatable. Why must I pay for this nonsense? The licence fee is pointless money for nothing. (See what I did there?)

Why does 'the country' (ie bulk of UK media) want the Government to u-turn and hand millionaires £300 every year for heating, and let farmers with £3million estates not have to organise inheritance planning like the rest of us? Bonkers.

Fantasy political thinking is rife among UK chatterati on left and right. To be clear: if Labour had not ruled out tax rises on workers ahead of general election IT WOULD NOT HAVE WON. How hard is it to get that???

Even Nick Ferrari on @lbc this morning seems to be being positive about the UK-US economic deal. And I think I just heard him criticise Kemi Badenoch! I haven't felt able to listen to him for a while, but thought I'd see what he had to say this morning.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Press disses 10 months of Labour wins however good. NHS lists down, immigration down, strikes down, inflation down, interest rates down, wages up, homebuilds up, pension credit take-up up, 2 trade deals, school breakfasts, rail nationalised, steel saved. What more do they want

Aussies got it right. Cost of living, housing, healthcare, Trump were key. Starmer must hold firm. NHS lists, inflation, strikes are down, wages, housebuilding up. Farage is Trump lite. Rich losing heating bung & farmers having to plan tax-free £2m inheritance are distractions. Keir must tell story.

We're a quarter way into the 21st century. Smartphones & social media have been used for the best part of 20 years. People born in the years the iPhone and Facebook launched are now at university. This stuff is not new. Yet UK public serices such as NHS still behave as though it is. Disappointing.

@jasonaw.bsky.social FYI Just deleted my Blair reporting rant you liked. Turns out he wrote the foreward to the paper. So the skewed UK reportage is par for the course I guess 🙄

Such poor #journalism by reporters reductively summarising UK Supreme Court trans ruling. It explicitly states that a trans woman is STILL legally a woman in every regard exept in matters relating to the Equality Act which has ALWAYS carefully allowed organisations to exclude 'non biological' women.

Sound analysis. IMO this 'clarification' compounds a moral panic about an infinitesimally small proportion of the population. By extension, the ruling appears to suggest that a bearded trans man should be allowed into a women's single sex area and, indeed, a women's prison. Bonkers.

Listening to Trump bleat you'd think manufacturing was whisked away from US to countries with lower-paid workforces by some mysterious deus ex machina - and not by greedy American corporations and union bashers like him. They're to blame not bloody tariffs. Stunned elements of US labor stand by him

Much nonsense being spoken and written about 'Brexit bonus' of lesser tariff imposed by Trump on UK. If UK were still in EU we wouldn't even need US trade because we'd be part of the biggest, richest internal trading bloc in the world with more than enough trading opportunities to go round.

Why was the #trump tariff announcement so amateurishly presented? POTUS holding a graphics board like a schoolchild explaing 'what I did in my holidays' Weather and wind could have been mitigated by good tech.

Why is #Trump enabling the killings of Ukrainian citizens? Why has he excused Putin's bombings of a sovereign country?

submitted 82 days ago • 0 comments

You have to wonder if the Kremlin has something on #Trump. He has not uttered a syllable against Putin who invaded a sovereign country. Trump spent 45 minutes talking to the former KGB boss on the phone. Then he spent 20 minutes dissing a war leader trying to save his country from that tyrant. Evil.

Labour’s giving kids free breakfasts so they can start the day ready to learn. But the nasty party Tories? They couldn’t even be bothered to show up and debate it, no surprise from a party that let child poverty soar while lining their donors’ pockets. #ukpolitics

No tax-dodging landed gentry, no worries about food, no struggling families, and no children going hungry - just a fair system where everyone pays their share instead of the rich hoarding wealth. #ukpolitics

Great defence speech by UK PM. Proper, moral, intelligent, grown-up stance in a world of shallow self-interest and muddled, irrational, rambling 'rhetoric'. Labour showing, yet again, it is the natural party to take its country forward #ukpolitics
