I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Replace "GB News" with the "dumb public" and I'd agree with you. Have you joined the media's efforts to demean the government in the eyes of those who can think?

If Nigel Farage does ever become Prime Minister, do you think the media will apply the same level of constant scrutiny and hatred to him as some parts do to Keir Starmer?

The crap they're publishing isn't just aimed at the MPs or public, a lot of the poison is targeted to inflame those on the left. That alone convinces me it's not the usual anti-labour journalism, it's the owners' political aims coming to the fore.

Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .

Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.

And nowadays not in the Guardian either.

Worth a few minutes of your time to watch these videos of the PM giving the facts and the timeline of events around Mandelson.

Don't listen to cherry picked parts with added opinions from comentators.

Listen to the PM himself.

For those like me who can’t do with her whiny voice, here's a slightly cut down version of Zara Sultana being kicked out and suspended from the House of Commons. This performative nonsense gets on my wick.
She’s no better than Lee Anderson, Labour was right to get rid of both of them.

Complicated, true. Unfortunately a large proportion of the public don't do complication so explanations fall on deaf ears. Expressions of outrage and puzzlement always play well though - on both sides.

It is truly extraordinary that so many people have gone in feet first without understanding the detailed process and legal background. The attached Spectator article (I know) by an anonymous civil servant may help.
