Being told by an idiot conspiracy theorist who knows nothing about where I live, but gases on anyway. Priceless. Go back to X.

I was born here, grew up here, and I live here. I promise you, these people were bigots before Putin was in the KGB. Contribute to the conversation by all means. But don't talk utter bollocks.

I'm sorry to say that I am considering my subscription to the @newstatesman.com. I'm disappointed that the voice they choose to comment on this is a well-known contrarian whose knowledge of NI is pretty slender.

I'm not sure how much this particular writer knows about Ballymena either.
The "long hot summer" tone is disturbing - it reeks of a longing for racist disturbance so that she could turn up the faux outrage about how racists squealing "Ireland is full" are not being listened to.

To be fair, she's just being honest: most political interviews are treated as an excuse to crowbar in talking points, while avoiding the question that has been put. But there is something obtuse about how Badenoch has somehow managed to think that the questions aren't actually a part of the process.

Is it AT ALL possible - bear with me - that England are actually a very average football team, with one or two very good players but no more than that? And what was called unadventurous under Southgate was actually a good manager using what was at his disposal to maximum effect?

Says more about Phillips that he thinks this is the sort of question that has a place in a serious political interview, than it does about Starmer or Kyle. Phillips makes Kuenssberg look like a giant of broadcasting.

Why should she even have to know? SCOTUS will nod compliantly and agree that the threshold has been reached because someone waving a Mexican flag constitutes an "invasion." She's not there because she's a legal genius, after all.

I don't know why they're even asking him. I'd say "it;s like asking..."someone ridiculous, but I can't think of anything that really does justice to the pig-headed stupidity.

Absolutely brilliant. And a reminder that the BBC is more than just a few news presenters. A lot more.

Good lord. It's not often you can say that male pattern baldness actually did someone a favour...

This is life being lived at an unreal level of invited, social status, tweets and playground politics. No sense of real physical, tangible effects, just a reduction of everything to slogans and personal benefits. And those at a quite banal level.

Is English your first language? You don't express yourself coherently in it.

Who are you to accuse someone of not arguing? You're just an abusive waste of the internet. Fuck off back to X.

And while we\re here - leave aside the disproportionate bombing of a population out of their homes. They have cold-bloodedly murdered medics, aid workers and journalists. I have ho doubt that were it not for Greta T's profile, they would have attacked the flotilla. Now, fuck off back to X.

How can it be a lie? It's an opinion. You don't seem to be able to construct an argument beyond insulting people, or saying anything you don't like is a lie. I'cd block you, but not would only add to your sense of victimhood.

I don't like blocking people, though I normally would for obscene name calling. but I'm intrigued by the fact this one posts seems to hate Trump, who is the greatest enabler of the Israeli regime.

He’ll make sure he doesn’t have to see them. That’s the thing about rejecting science. You have to shield yourself from the consequences.

If Greta Thunberg hadn't been on board, I suspect the murderous IDF would have blown the flotilla out of the water, and claimed it has a Hammas leader on board.

I recommend Myles na gCopaleen's excellent "Buchhandlung" series of articles for the irish Times in (I think) the 1940s.

This appears to be a regular problem with the Mairie. Are there elections? I feel something needs to be done…
comment in response to

Yes, I have been enjoying the extensive coverage the BBC has afforded this. Oh no, wait…I don’t believe they’ve mentioned it at all. Still, hard to fit it in between all the Reform Party Political broadcasts….

Just think: if RFK had been in charge during the pandemic. Millions more would have died. I wonder if most Americans ever think about that?

I’d have stopped at “we listened to you.” The trouble is that the absence of an overall vision has made them paint themselves into a corner of “14 years of Tory govt.”

I was thinking more in terms of “here’s a better idea.”

Yes. Climate change, and widespread war zones are making mass migration a permanent feature of our world. It is no longer as "issue". We have to adjust. We may not be able to make it as welcoming as we'd like, but we have to move past "deterrence" and punishment.

Absolutely. When I say it's too valuable, I don't mean that in a good way!

Finally, don't give Farage the chance to pat you on the head - jettison the idea that making Labour more appealing to Reform voters, and make a contrast with what he would do to - say - health. Don't let him pretend to be the pensioners' friend.

The bigger lesson here is that from start to finish there are lessons to be learned in news management, and in messaging. In the first place, don't give the media the chance to lead with what can look like an attack on the vulnerable. When you put it right, get the O'Briens of this world onside. MTF

A better communicator than Starmer would have been able to reset the conversation, countering misinformation and emphasising the benefits. Leadership is about persuasion, not blindly doing what you think your followers want. There are times when I think that it's too valuable an issue to solve.

I've always seen her as petulant, without any real substance. She's sort of liberal, own she used to be, but when people disagree with her publicly she throws her toys out of the pram and goes to write on vicious misinformation sources like UnHerd.

Worth remembering too that if it hadn't been someone with her profile, the murderous IDF might well have just attacked the ship.
