Briefcase Michael

I block transphobes on sight just as I block racists and homophobes so don't waste your time with your bile, bigotry, nonsense and verbal abuse.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@DanielB26463646 @GlennHo97250326 @socialistp40357 My mother, a southerner, was a keen Everton supporter. Admittedly she married a boy from Bootle. 😆

@GlennHo97250326 @BriefcaseMike @socialistp40357 Not as bad as Carragher, or the lad from the Accrington Stanley advert fame, granted but it's there to the discerning ear. Plus, he supports Everton, who, apart from a scouser, would support them?

In brief: Burnham is Starmer with a Scouse accent. Streeting is an anti-trans, private healthcare-supporting protégé of Mandelson. Rayner is an unprincipled careerist.

@gildy61 Trump's comments were on BBC News. The presenter could have stated what I have just done but of course she didn't.

@BriefcaseMike Or...it is known but for those who want a more right wing political scenario it fuels their propaganda. Who is financing it? We have to look at outlets of mainstream media and who fronts them. Who is invited to appear. Today...this story has broken. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Trump obviously unaware of the dramatic fall in net migration to the UK, down by nearly 70% in most recent figures. But most of the public and seemingly most of the media are similarly unaware. #Trump #BBCNews

@paultraynor67 If Burnham wins the by-election that's true but if not then Simons will go down with Burnham.

@BriefcaseMike Josh Simons will hold the ultimate political Card. Whether that translates into a swift elevation to the House of Lords, a powerful Chief of Staff role, or a guaranteed safe seat at the next general election, he would be set up for life as the chief architect of the new regime.

It's always fun to hear James O'Brien say "onveronns". 😄 You'd think he'd learn how to say a word that he loves so much. #LBC

@crhealy72 Hadn't noticed that one but his "Secetary" irritates me.

@BriefcaseMike Like Starmer's "Responsibullity"

I've rattled the cages of some transphobes. Block, block and move on. Unfortunately those are the people this Starmer Government are pandering to. The same Starmer by the way who pre-election walked down a street waving a trans placard.

And wishing happy birthday to "Hugh Janus". Mind you, that was probably £80 well spent.

@EmilyThornberry @jamesmurray_ldn Will James Murray restore vital healthcare to young people who are trans that was blocked by Wes Streeting, an abuse of power that the BMA has condemned?

.@jamesmurray_ldn will make a fantastic Health Secretary, I am so pleased to see his appointment. And as his first boss in politics, I'm very proud to see his success. Good luck James! ✊🏼

Corbyn was an MP for 32 years until he was elected Labour leader in 2015. Number of accusations in the media of antisemitism from 1983-2015 = 0 Number of accusations in the media of antisemitism from 2015-19 = 11,251 Media Lens on how the establishment is revisiting its smear campaign, this time against the Greens, to stop a leftwinger from reaching power: medialens.substack.com/p/starmageddon…

@GlennHo97250326 @socialistp40357 It has faded over time but it's there. I'm surprised someone with Liverpool connections, which I have myself, can't spot it.

@BriefcaseMike @socialistp40357 Burnham hasn't got a Scouse accent

BBC refer obliquely to "controversy around" Josh Simons' time at Labour Together but don't specify the nature of it, a courtesy they wouldn't extend to someone on the Left. #BBCNews #r4today

@martinjhamer They don't do that so much now but it was a favourite trick of James Naughtie. I remember tweeting about it in the past.

@BriefcaseMike When reading out the headlines the bloke reminded listeners that The Mirror is a Labour-supporting paper. Never heard #R4today suggest the Telegraph is Tory- supporting.

Luke Akehurst, Richard Tice, David Baddiel. #r4today is really spoiling us this morning. 🤦‍♂️ And I don't think they realised Akehurst isn't on the sub-committee that decides if Burnham can stand (not "run").

@martinjhamer Considering the ridiculous number of people employed by BBC News and Politics you'd think they could keep up-to-date with developments in a story like the Polanski Council Tax one. Couldn't be deliberate of course. It's "our BBC", always fighting for the truth.

@BriefcaseMike Not her anything about Polanski being exonerated too. Some sort of admin error?

The BBC in reporting Rayner settling her tax issue keep omitting the key fact that HMRC found there was no deliberate wrongdoing and no penalty has been imposed. #r4today #BBCNews

Evri bloody time with Evri. Parcel not only a day late but they dumped someone else's parcels outside my back gate which I then had to re-deliver. If they want me to help with their deliveries they should put me on the payroll.

@debski2222 @virginmedia Seems to have been nationwide. Mine is supposed to be back around 7pm.

@BriefcaseMike @virginmedia Same here, I'm in Birmingham and it's been off for hours Back on now though

@virginmedia Many hours now with no TV on any channel. Unacceptable when your service is so expensive.

@will789gb I don't know. I don't watch morning TV. I think it was on the BBC News website in the Papers section.

@BriefcaseMike Has #bbc put front page of Mirror on screen? I no longer watch much but you may have noticed.
