Starmer’s handling of the vetting story has somehow become a bigger problem for Starmer than the vetting story. Extraordinary.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

I went and watched the segment on iPlayer. This is absolutely wild. It’s basically doing a free micro political broadcast for Reform during BBC Breakfast.

My prediction:Labour MPs will feel awkward today and tomorrow but will get over it.Labour will do badly in the local elections (which the media are only bothered about at election

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!
