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.

This is stenography, not news reporting. The BBC ought to provide some context, such as putting the scale of the changes which Reform claim are possible into context. This omits the major policy of revoking ILR and deporting legal migrants at unprecedented scale.

Measles spreads easily. Ensuring you and your loved ones are up to date with your MMR or MMRV jabs is the best protection. Contact your GP to get vaccinated.

Green Party by-election bar chart claim is misleading – Full Fact An image shared by the party and its leader Zack Polanski claims figures from a projection show ā€œonly the Greens can stop Reformā€ in Gorton and Denton, even though the model suggests Labour will win.

The Green Party has claimed figures from a projection show ā€œonly the Greens can stop Reformā€ in Gorton and Denton.

This is misleading. The model cited suggests Reform and the Greens will increase vote share the most, but currently projects a Labour win.

New YouGov poll gives Reform its lowest lead since last April.

RFM: 25% (+1)
LAB: 21% (+2)
CON: 17% (-1)
GRN: 16% (-1)
LDM: 14% (=)

Looks like hoovering up a series of deeply unpopular, disgraced former Conservative ministers isn't quite the massive vote winning strategy that was predicted

Full Speech From My Debate On High Street Gambling Reform Why councils must be given the power to protect their communities.

We need safer streets and a planning system that puts communities before gambling profits.

Ending Aim to Permit is vital if councils are to protect people from gambling harm.

Any tech people know how to help the brilliant Beatles Bible appeal against the FB ban? An incredible long term resource, removed for ridiculous (and incorrect) reasons. If there’s a way where the Beatles community can get together to appeal please help!

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ā€˜Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on Ā£2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.
