They are incredible. Unfortunately, mine appears not to have survived the winter.

Robbins' job was to place limits, procedurally established, on government desires. He failed. Mandelson's initial appointment was Starmer's judgment failure.

Has our expectations, press, media and social media made it an actually impossible job? Can any PM now serve a full term? I'm no Starmer fan and Mandy appointment idiotic, but this has been a sustained and coordinated attack.

Who leaked to the Guardian, why, and why now? Press pack appears to have a 'severe lack of curiosity' about this.

I haven't heard Crerar's relationship mentioned in any news report.

And, bothering me, is that I've never heard that mentioned in any news report. Our press is beyond scrutiny or scruple.

Mr Crerar is well-placed allegedly.

Nominally 🔥

She's as damaged and unpleasant as Braverman and Badenoch.

"We accidentally made an animated graphic for Reform and then did a party political broadcast for them by mistake."

In Perth WA they have a fly hatch forecast as part of the weather, much needed at certain times of the year. Bbc has been doing a boat crossings daily report for years.

Name them.

It’s very hard not to give up…
The media outlets that we should be able to trust to hold power to account are in the pockets of power. They undermine our democracy every day.
I despair, I really do.

And the first thing Farage would do is abolish the TV licence. GB News as the state broadcaster!

This is a party with eight MPs, only four of whom were elected as Reform candidates.

But the BBC has always supported Farage, and portrayed him as a mainstream politician despite his nasty views.

Calling Lisa Nandy. Is she still in a coma?

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.

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

You should have started saving at 7 and then added voluntary contributions at 11. Evryun no that.

It most certainly is.

Just invented a new word there😁

Orangery?

Fabilulous.

That should open up the straits.

Please repost if you agree that the BBC has been undermining democracy and enabling foreign interference in our politics by promoting and protecting Farage.

Jones' expression as he contemplates his career smouldering.

Prawn cocktail crisps are just salt and vinegar in disguise.

Shhh. There are health police everywhere, Cyn.

Mr and Mrs unnamed source?

I did not realise until 5 minutes ago that Pippa is married to ... someone high up in the Foreign Office (who used to be a Telegraph journo ) My sense of smell has always been good. #SourcesCloseTo

The first time I was Chorlied, I thought he was an end of the pier comic moonlighting as a journo. I was right.
