If you see a journalist clearly not up to the job yet remaining in a prominent and well paid role.
Ask yourself why.
They must be useful to someone.
For many it's BlackRock and big oil.
Badenoch, Farage in big oils pocket.

Only three things Trump works hard at.
Hiding, destroying, lying about the Epstein files.
Helping Putin.
Making as much money from being President as he can by any means.
BlackRock owns shares in ITV right? And extensive interests in big oil.
So they own you.
Kitten soft interview with big oil friendly Badenoch no doubt.
Client journalism.
No wonder you pander to Reform as well.
Even when Trump leaves, some elements of the American electorate can't be trusted not to vote someone equally bad or even worse into office at some future date.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social decent show but perhaps take account of the effect of Britain's rabid client media on Starmer himself.
Daily attacks on all fronts would inevitably lead to a bunker mentality and perhaps worse in most of us.
Ta. Read a few film star bios but had never heard this. Every day a school day.
Affectionate nickname for Keith Richards also Keefy
Watching Keef trying to smoke Badenoch would be worth surviving a nuclear holocaust for.
A detailed, symbolic painting inspired by the movie "Pulp Fiction," featuring Samuel L. Jackson's character depicted as a Jesus-like figure with a glowing halo and radiant hands, blessing a sick man lying in a hospital bed. Surrounding them are other characters from the filmโJohn Travolta and Uma Thurmanโboth praying, and a nurse and another man watching solemnly. Above, three cherubic angels with the faces of other "Pulp Fiction" characters float in the sky. The background includes iconic American symbols such as the U.S. Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, an American flag, flying bald eagles, military jets, and fireworks, blending religious imagery with patriotic and cinematic elements.
This is great! ๐
Yep. Point scoring. Not a PM in waiting but a leader clinging to the wreckage of whatever the Tory party now is.
Political compass readings depend on where you are and who you are.
Short answer for me, he's the least worst choice.
Who would you like to replace him?

Cycling is a wonderful way to travel.

Everyone talking about Mandelson...
Oh wait no they weren't.
Cost of living and making ends meet is what people are talking about.

#PMQs Badenoch this line of attack is dead.
Notice you've done a Thatcher and lowered your voice, hasn't helped has it?
You Chris Mason, Laura Kuenssberg and all your other media chums will have to think up another Starmer must go crisis next week.
Lies Industry UK - Darren Jones: An inquiry is underway into the leaking of confidential information to The Guardian. Tom Whitehead, FCDO Deputy Director of Communications, is the husband of The Guardian political editor Crerar.
Agreed. But as you know from here solidarity is as rare as hens teeth.
It's never been more important to talk truth to power.
Strong women are great at doing it.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they havenโt done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Picture of an ebike
"Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike ..you'll never go back."
The mileage is great: 625 km per $1 (390 miles).
Yawn
Lot of the Corbyn cult out tonight.

Ranted at by a dull passive aggressive birdwatching Corbyn supporter.
Thankfully he blocked me which I reciprocated at great speed.
Wouldn've paid him to after his couple of replies.
Badenoch levels of self confidence and intelligence.
Tried but couldn't get past Josh having the limelight he had.
So many more compelling characters.
