"Obsessed with access, deferential to power, and prioritising personality over substance, British political journalism much more closely resembles the internal machinations of a medieval court, than it does the independent arm of a modern democracy." @adambienkov.bsky.social spot-on in #BylineTimes

So many of us who thought we would be life-long Labour voters can't recognise what the party has become. (I'm pretty sure Keir Hardie wouldn't recognise his beloved party either 😪)

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

One family of 6 from Gaza make it through the tortuous UK system designed to prevent entry alongside the boastful filming and promotion of hounding folk onto planes - I expect the Tories to play to xenophobia but Labour? Shameful ditching of values many, many fought for and died for.

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is what pisses me off the most about Labour's backtracking on non-dom status. Reeves said: "We have been listening to the concerns that have been raised by the non-dom community." But not listening to pensioners, Waspi women, the poor or the disabled. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong...with such a people, you can do whatever you want. Hannah Arendt
