@vicderbyshire.bsky.social Hi Victoria. I don't remember you dragging Farage into the studio to explain himself over this. Is there a reason why you chose to specifically target Zack Polanski over an admitted mistake that was far less inflammatory? I thought better of you.

After grilling Zach Polanski, Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social now interrupting the follow-up discussion every 30 secs to read out texts from Farage, Jenrick et al verbatim & without scrutiny, like some kind of Reform stenography service. I think I just witnessed the death of British journalism.

Watching the absolutely ludicrous Newsnight interview by Victoria Derbyshire with Zack Polanski. Does anyone at the BBC really think that Zack intended [s44(1)(b)] to encourage anyone to murder Farage? Could that get proven in a court beyond reasonable doubt? Unambiguously no.

I feel the biggest mistake Starmer made was treating Labour as a "pro-work" party instead of a "pro-worker" party. And Burnham is set to make the exact same mistakes. Work for the sake of work, the 9-5 is a virtue that all must aspire to, and we'll cut your benefits to make it happen.

20.1% of British people eligible to vote voted Labour in 2024. Many of those did so not because they wanted Labour, but because they wanted Tories out. Thousands have since sworn that they'll never vote Labour again. The people never voted for Burnham to be PM: a few hundred Labour MPs did.

Burnham marches into Starmer performative cruelty territory. This really isn't going very well. And it's only Week One!
David OslandLabour has announced a crackdown on benefit fraud. Just like the Tories in 1992. And Labour in 1997. And the coalition in 2013. And the Tories in 2023. And Labour in 2024. And I've probably missed some, right?
