Labour overturned a 4,500 SNP majority in Hamilton and the BBC spun this as somehow a victory for Reform. The BBC News department is not fit for public service.

“That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists—and that they both individually wield such massive power—is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.” Robert Reich

Most Brits think we should stay in the ECHR and protect our British-European values… Makes perfect sense. And also- 1) It protects us from Trump-like behaviour with his own citizens 2) It underpins our criminal data-sharing with Europe. Leave ECHR and we’d become a haven for criminals.

Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

A manifesto for ‘adults’ who believe in the tooth fairy. And hate what they don’t understand -which is a lot. Tax cuts paid for by scrapping Net Zero, the EU deal and DEI and deporting asylum seekers to god knows where at no apparent cost. This is ‘tip your country into the bin’ stuff. (The i Paper)

Johnson’s “great deal” signed away full control of UK waters for a thin trade deal & good press. New agreement doesn’t increase access; it’s at the existing level, in return: smoother exports, fewer border checks, reduced friction 4 British farmers and food businesses. It’s a net gain not surrender

I’m yelling at my radio again. WHY is Nick Robinson asking whether the small gains forecasted for the new EU agreement was “worth stirring up the hornets nest” of Brexit ? Are we all supposed to cower in the corner, afraid of Farage and his gullible followers for ever?

Thames Water: a water firm spending £200 million on lawyers to stop the government putting it into administration. Our bills are funding this – all so they can keep ripping us off. It's long past time for the government to step in and put Thames Water out of its misery.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Today's deal is a positive first step in rebuilding our relationship with Europe. The government must now face down the naysayers and dinosaurs in Reform and the Conservative Party and be more ambitious to go further and secure the best deal for our country.

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.

Gary Lineker was forced out of the BBC because he opposed Israel’s genocide. Not because anyone actually believes he’s antisemitic in the slightest. I know it, you know it, and what’s more - the people who drove him out know it. New blog 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/gary-linek...
