Born in the 40’s I trusted @BBCNews all my life until the @BorisJohnson placements took the reins. Since then it’s got worse. I find the BBC’s promotion of a racist & fascist fringe party impossible to swallow. If I could I would stop paying the home news element of the fee.

Absolutely repulsive. It finally rains and @SouthernWater fill the oceans with shit.
It rained for an hour or so overnight, the first rain we've seen in quite some time.
Yet it was enough for @SouthernWater to release sewage in Hythe, thus rendering their beach unsafe to swim today.

Yes. Millions of us would like to know why the predominantly right-wing main stream media are waging a war of attrition against Starmer when he is doing such a good job repairing the terrible damage of 14 years of Tory government?
I think I might have answered my own question.
Ha!
I have a genuine question for @BethRigby @SkyNews @Peston basically anyone else in the UK media ... WHY ARE YOU SO DESPERATE to bring down the PM.. please tell

Labour loses my vote if they don’t stop pfaffing with the leadership nonsense. There’s work to do and right now @Keir_Starmer seems to be the only one who gets that.

Murdochs cesspit the Times published a story Starmer had fallen out with Milliband and cancelled meetings with him, the story was repeated by hacks across the British media.
The truth
1 meeting was rescheduled because Millibrands mother had died.
Blatant isn't it.

If the press and telly ignore this one as much as they have tried to ignore so many of his other scandals we will know for sure we live in a two tier media country
EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.
Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.
But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.
Cracking tale from @tomburgis

Be aware. The UK media isn't creating such a big promotion around Andy Burnham because they like him. They're desperate to remove Starmer specifically BECAUSE he's doing a great job. They see Burnham as an easy mark, with Starmer out of the way. Farage next. You have been warned.

Just to remind some folk that is nothing ‘timid’ about a Labour government lifting half a million kids out of poverty, the biggest uplift of workers rights in a generation, giving millions of people a pay rise, transforming the NHS, nationalising the steel industry & our railways
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The government has not yet nationalised the steel industry or fully nationalised the railways, Employment Rights changes are phased through 2027, and the child poverty figure is a projected reduction in relative poverty rather than an achieved outcome. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief… commonslibrary.parliament.uk/when-will-my-l… gov.uk/government/pub… ifs.org.uk/articles/two-c…

Isn't there one good,brave journalist who will investigate what has happened to most of the media since Labour had got in.This is a massive story.Most of the British media are trying to bring down an elected gov.

THE MANDATE MUST MATTER
We waited fourteen years for the opportunity to rebuild this country.
Keir Starmer didn't inherit a thriving economy, functioning public services and political stability. He inherited the consequences of fourteen years of failure.
The real question is not who wants the job.
The real question is who is prepared to do the job when the choices are difficult, the headlines are hostile and the easy applause has disappeared.
Labour members chose a leader. The British people chose a Prime Minister.
That democratic mandate deserves respect.
#KeirStarmer #LabourGovernment #LabourParty
We suffered, oh God how we suffered for fourteen long years
And then it happened 2 years ago, a substantial Labour victory thanks to Keir Starmer and I’ll be FUCKED if I’m going to allow Burnham, Streeting and the Left take it away from us
STOP THE FUCKING COUP

If the UK ditches Keir Starmer via the Burnham avatar it will have succumbed to foreign interference both online and in our compromised media.
It will be the second major event of this kind in 10 years. The first was Brexit.
