R4 interview with Starmer today: he actually answers the questions. Quite unusual after ten years of Tories. Weird new standard the media invented just for Labour: *all* gifts are now unacceptable, even if declared. Missed that one when Johnson was floating on a sea of donor money.
The media showing its whole damn ass by dropping candidate age and mental acuity completely from coverage. Biggest issue ever to total non-issue. Kinda like classified information handling. Huh.
The BBC along with NYT seemingly had no clue how to cover the rise of Kamala Harris. Fumbling around with something she misspoke in 2020 and charts suggesting complex convention processes.... To recognising massive grassroots and leadership support and the nomination lock-in.
/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.
Abigail is Matilda 2. This is my headcanon.
This BBC headline seems like fuel for right wing sites looking to stoke immigration hate. Buried six paras in: gun deaths halved in London. Gun attacks way down. I guess those figures aren't headline-worthy. "Gangs fuelling vicious cycle of gun violence" - Met www.bbc.com/news/article...
Cdr Paul Brogden tells the BBC over half of shootings in the capital involve gangs or organised crime.
Conservatives now promising every citizen a free box of gold coated in chocolate sprinkles. They've definitely secured my vote with these reliable promises.
Radio 4 giving Farage full scope to blame immigration for huge areas of towns and cities in Britain filled with Muslims who [he said this, explicitly] support jihad, don't speak any English, don't support British values. Overt racism is on the ballot in the UK.
