@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.

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

@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.

Not saying I'm ready to come home but I just heard a glass smash on the streets of Palermo and not a single soul went "wheyyyyyyy" and that made me really sad and gave me a strange sense of longing.

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]

@wan26259 The "look at me I'm silly with a song you'd never listen to again" genre landed a strong third just last year, though. I actually wish the audience would tire of it. They haven't yet.

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
