The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget.
Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

In 2019 Boris Johnson celebrated his General Election Victory with Alexander Lebedev
In 2022, Canada sanctioned Alexander Lebedev for being on of Putin’s inner circle
