@dr_scholler @ShippersUnbound Tbf it's delightfully soft and fertile ground for hacks who've long since run out of anything interesting to say. Who can blame him. He's only following the crowd.

@ShippersUnbound Your obsession with trans people has become pathological. You can't go a day without mentioning them.

This is a superb account of how the BBC was captured by the trans extremists and how a few brave souls risked cancellation to fight for impartiality and fair reporting
UnHerd@unherd
Inside the capture of the BBC, by Rob Burley (@RobBurl) In his 13 years as a senior BBC editor, Rob Burley saw the Corporation’s defining commitment to impartiality undermined by transgender ideology, a blind commitment to Diversity & Inclusion schemes, and a culture of intolerance. Informed by his experiences at Newsnight alongside other prestige shows, his major investigation reveals how the BBC took a side in the culture wars. He draws on extensive interviews with current and former staff — including journalists at the very top. Speaking out for the first time since leaving the Corporation, Fran Unsworth, the former director of BBC News, reveals in an explosive interview: “I would actually say it drove me out, just dealing with the progressive editorial issues and the bullying around them all. It was incredibly difficult.” Read more below ⬇️ buff.ly/7Fv4Ry8

Manchester is probably the most improved European city of the 21st century.

I never understood the infatuation with Andy Burnham. Manchester is a dump

@massiveattic Yeah it's been phenomenal. I'm exhausted and ready to go home but give me a week and I'd do it all over again.

@JamesFl He's done better songs than this. 80s style homages. Should have done one of them.

It's so funny because if this (intentional and self aware nonsense) was from one of the microstates or a Scandi country the same people cringing now would be buying the costume, getting the tattoo, and saying it's the most profound thing they've ever seen.

Andy Burnham has put his career and reputation on the line to demonstrate an ability to beat Reform in a tight marginal. This is exactly the kind of courage Labour needs if it is to win the next election.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: Sir John Curtice says Labour would have "less than 5% chance" in the Makerfield by-election "if it were anyone other than Andy Burnham" He adds it's one of the tightest Labour-Reform contests and a "much tougher" election to win than Gorton and Denton [@politico]

@danielcapitaooo @wlazlo_daniel @OSSalski "Better" "more accessible" can you even *begin* to imagine the reaction on here if a UK entry had pulled this lmao

@JamesFl @wlazlo_daniel @OSSalski Both better, more pop, more massively accessible, than this mess from the uk. Be so fucking for real.

Yeah, Bri*ish people, rightfully, suffer from discrimination

Doing this health warning now: MRP projections or UNS swings of Makerfield aren't designed for by-elections. They don't take account of specific nature of by-elections and Burnham's personal vote which from every focus group I can tell you is real. IMO Burnham starts as favourite

@CharlieChalk15 Do you have "gullible" stamped on your forehead by any chance

Bent as a nine bob note.
Can we stop taking lumps out of each other and kick this fraud around for a bit?

Nigel Farage, April 29: “This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life”. Nigel Farage, May 14: “Frankly, it was given to me as a reward for campaigning against Brexit for 27 years.” Which is it?

This decision by HMRC does not surprise me. Angela Rayner got caught in an obscure part of the legislation and the fact that no penalty was levied indicates that HMRC agrees.
It shows that people can correct their tax affairs without upset when they have done no wrong. Sometimes tax is complicated.
Pippa Crerar@PippaCrerar
EXCL: Angela Rayner has been cleared by HMRC of deliberate wrongdoing or carelessness over her tax affairs, paving the way for a potential leadership bid if Keir Starmer’s grip on power unravels. The former DPM has settled £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, but has not paid any penalty as a result of the investigation. HMRC was also satisfied there was no tax avoidance. Rayner tells me she was “bruised” by whole experience because of intrusion into her disabled son’s personal life, but also because it had appeared as though she was “in it for myself” rather than on the side of ordinary people. Rayner indicated she may run in event of a contest as she would “play my part” and that she understood why Labour MPs were so upset following last week’s election crushing. She said Starmer should “reflect on” stepping aside.

I feel a lot of people really don’t understand just how popular burnham is up north.

So... this is the seat where Burnham may run Next to Gorton and Denton The Greens will try to take him down, especially as they got twice as many votes in Manchester Rusholme in 2024
