Where's complaining getting you?
Meaningful social reforms will never be offered through the parliamentary process, it's not in the interests of the establishment to in effect give up their profits for the benefit of all.

Why 'incredible'?

When 75% of its senior positions are essentially political appointees put in place by some disastrous Tory leader or another, I would propose that BBC output is exactly as one might expect.

Divorced from reality. Devoid of intellect. Divisive in purpose and action.

Quite incredible that the BBC support the Tories in their attacks on the recent budget and it's resolve to end poverty for 450,000 poor children in the UK?

If the Conservative Party think they will win the next election by trying to bring down female MP after female MP they need to think again.

He's not an MP. So it's not so much 'defecting' as 'changing a direct debit'.

this, but for Jonathan Gullis defecting to Reform
You know when a famous person dies and you're surprised because you'd assumed they must already be dead? That, but for Nadine Dorries defecting to Reform.

Reeves is absolutely deserving of defence at the moment, given the total incoherence of the attacks against her.

However, to an extent, Labour are now reaping what they sow in terms of leaning into narratives about black holes, maxxed out credit cards and other such nonsense.

I used to really like #wato but I've just sat through 45 minutes and heard no news whatsoever, and in fact nothing I would describe as comment or analysis. Utterly vacuous.

Funny double standards from BBC. #wato No interest in whether Nigel Fraud lies about his income or how he pays for his "constituency home" or his misspent youth. Or Kemi Badenoch's photocopier protocols+lunch predilections.But Rachel Reeves is prime target because they didn't understand her speech?

MSF doctor left Gaza on a medical evacuation, leaving a home, 25 years of memories, and everything else but his clothes and mobile behind - Israeli conditions for any evacuation - explaining the mass mental health crash which will follow a full ceasefire.

Sarah asking the wrong person why a Palestinian woman would not be allowed back into her own country.
Ask Nethanyahu.
No follow up of course.

You sayin’ the PM held his speech/Q&A indoors? Schoolboy error!

I’d have moved the whole shebang out into Downing Street, delivering a ‘till they drop’ style Q&A session, behind my own heated lectern, safely under my own storm-proof gazebo #wato

The fact that all the political journalists asked the same kind of question is more indicative of groupthink than the importance of the question.

Last year Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor filled his budget with unfunded elephant traps to destabilise Labour if elected, and ignore if the Tories were reelected.

There was no condemnation from the usual BBC suspects.

Media left with egg on its collective face when all their speculation about tax rises was proven wrong, so media moans about being misled.
How about not speculating so wildly next time?
