@politixintheuk First Class presentation.

Full-length Darren Jones speech on Badenoch’s stunt. In my humble opinion, Darren’s contribution to Labour has been significant.

@sales_belinda @mattfrei #C4News joins #SkyNews and #BBCNews as cheap RW biased rubbish TV. Take a look at France 24 or Aljazeera News to see what balanced, quality newscasting looks like.

Disgusted with #c4news Saw some passionate & sincere MPs making the case for rejecting the Tory motion to refer the PM to the Privilege Committee. They weren't as a result of the whip. But @mattfrei presents it as "MPs holding their nose" & the vote only "just" went in his favour

@bottomley50 Backing the wrong horse.

Ed Davey knows there is nothing there,how foolish of you.You should,could have been the opposition but you have messed that up by attacking the gov all the time as you are doing now.It's a terrible look.Shame on you.

@Ameer_Kotecha Brilliant.

Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

@likesretirement Since the Guardian joined the pile-on of Sir Keir Starmer I have considered ending my subscription. The 'New World' journal is a great read, and proves there is still balanced journalism to be found amongst all the RW rubbish.

So after some wrestling, because there are a couple of journalists who I do greatly admire writing for it still, including John Crace, I have cancelled it because I can't justify £18 a month to get angry. And I can still read articles, just with adverts #TheGuardian loss

@PippaCrerar Now sink your teeth into Reform and in particular Farage's house purchase of £880k and his Epstein/Bannon/Brexit links, Tice's £120k tax dodging and Jenrick's £40k donation. You certainly won't need to make stuff up where these are concerned...

@KlintSugi @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel Good point.

@Mike_Bostock @TheNewsAgents @jonsopel It's nice

"No one votes the wrong way because they've had a pint of bitter or a glass of wine," says @jonsopel "They're told by the whips if they are voting for, or voting against." Alcohol for MPs in the House of Commons – yes or no? thenewsagents.co.uk/article/should…

@lindathomas_uk @franceshinde @Peston @UKLabour He's on the switch-off list.

Peston grasping at straws on News at Ten. Absolute gibberish! All in his own head. Journalists all trying desperately to outdo each other & all going to have egg on their faces! @Peston like many others now can’t watch him.Cringeworthy! @UKLabour

@LBC @lewis_goodall A study in how to handle stooges masquerading as journalists.

“What’s the basis for that?” Chief Secretary Darren Jones tells @lewis_goodall that accusations against Starmer aren't serious enough to warrant a Privileges Committee investigation.

@GordonFielden Not journalism.

This may well be the most effective dismantling of a journalist by a politician that I have seen in recent times. I say that with full consideration of the context. On LBC, Lewis Goodall appears to steer the discussion towards a predetermined conclusion, presenting assertions that do not align with the available facts and constructing a narrative that does not withstand scrutiny. In doing so, he goes as far as to suggest, almost to press for, the establishment of a Privileges Committee to investigate Keir Starmer. Yet the substance of that demand does not appear to be grounded in evidence, but rather in the continuation of a narrative that he himself is attempting to shape. There is a consistent pattern in his approach. Wherever he appears, there is a tendency to impose a storyline that extends beyond what the facts can reasonably support. If one were to look for an example of the more troubling aspects of modern political journalism, this would be difficult to overlook.

@dailybritainonx A bit too weird. He can start by speaking more slowly.

He's the most popular opposition leader in the country with a -8 approval rating. He's 44, working class, Jewish, vegan, a former actor turned politician who has tripled the Green Party's membership to 220,000. He calls genocide a genocide when other leaders reach for diplomatic language. He beat Reform in Gorton. He's polling joint first nationally. Is he ready for Number 10?

@ObserverUK @ThatTimWalker Rubbish.

@markofagenius Do Reform-voting pensioners know what's coming?

So I accept that Labour will probably get battered on May7th in local elections. I hope people are ready for the battering they will get from Reform run councils

@JohnRentoul @DavidPBMaddox He is a good public servant doing a good job in our interest.

Ed Miliband is trying to “position himself for a coronation” to replace Keir Starmer after the local elections – reports @DavidPBMaddox independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@ianrileyENG @NerineHalton @afneil It needs a health warning on each copy like on cigarette packets. "Reading this will cause your brain to turn into mush and for you to vote Reform".

@afneil I don’t think the nation appreciates the good fortune we enjoy in having the likes of A. Neil, D. Hodges, B. Johnson, Nadine Dorris & many other such giants from the political commentariat. Only they have the incisive minds to assess problems. And such a revered organ too. 🤦‍♂️

@LakotaMan1 @bodman_mike He likes a show where he can win against the baddies.

Trump’s poll numbers are in the gutter. The MAGA base is falling apart. The Epstein files aren’t going away. Trump HAD to stage another shooting. Deceiving the public for his own nefarious purposes has always been his modus operandi.

Tonight’s alleged “shooting” at the White House Correspondents Dinner was as fake and phony and STAGED as his Butler, PA “assassination attempt.”

@Richard66173180 @oaksandlions Yes, but let's start with chalk streams as it is particularly unforgivable.

@Mike_Bostock @oaksandlions There should be massive fines for discharging sewage in ANY stream or river.

England is home to one of the rarest habitats on Earth. Chalk streams are crystal-clear rivers formed by water filtered slowly through chalk hills and aquifers. They stay cool, clean, and remarkably clear, which is why they are so beautiful. There are only around 200 chalk streams in the world, and most of them are in England. You’ll find them mainly in southern and eastern England, especially in counties such as Hampshire, Wiltshire, Kent and Norfolk. Famous examples include the Test, Itchen, Kennet and Lambourn. They are an extraordinary part of our countryside, rare, fragile, and worth protecting. Had you seen a chalk stream before? #EnglishLandscape #EnglishCountryside #EnglishHeritage

@RoslynByfield @BBCTwo Jo Lycett was easily the best panellist to appear on LK's unwatchable Sunday programme.

#bbclaurak is on @BBCTwo tomorrow due to the marathon. Darren Jones, Chris Philp and panel includes Susanna Reid. Just why does the BBC keep platforming faux journalists as if they're sources of wisdom? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
