Huge intervention by Tony Blair. Highly critical of Starmer & Reeves (& Burnham & Streeting). But Blair thinks it mad to change PM without Labour deciding what it wants to do, what the goal is. Most important manifesto by a Labour figure in decades. institute.global/insights/polit…
Nicola Sturgeon says she was “deceived” and “let down” by her “former husband” Peter Murrell which has caused her “acute pain”, in a statement. She reiterates in her statement she had “no knowledge or suspicion” that he was using SNP funds for personal purposes.
Actually, I suspect you at GB News have decided the less air-time that Reform candidate Robert Kenyon gets then the better his chances.
@tomhfh Tosh. We once interviewed 13 candidates in one by-election in one day & edited it. Due weight is the story, not giving everyone the same length or proportions. Things don't have to be meticulously legalled & measured. You're being so defeatist. Get your lawyers to ring me.
Are any TV journalists involved in making proper, regular films about this by-election? Every TV news outlet should be there full time. I've often criticised fellow journalists for exaggerating the importance of an election, but it's hard to think of a bigger by-election ever
If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.
