Ofcom just sat in Parliament and suggested the reason they haven't upheld single complaint on climate coverage since 2020 is that "broadcasters that we regulate have a good understanding of the code and they are complying with the rules".
This is what they've been green-lighting...

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

The problem is that Starmer's Labour, the Democrats and their acolytes desperately want to continue with the apolitical, economistic, technocratic style on which they ascended in the '90s, ignoring the fact that politics (and history) are happening, with or without them, and will wash them away.

One of the most maddening things about our current government is the way that they seem to think that if you find the right ambiguity of framing, they can continue to have it both ways and be everyone’s friend indefinitely.
Darren Jones is asked if the US bombing Venezuela & abducting its leader was lawful
Jones says he won't give a view on the action & he goes on to say its not up to politicians to make judgements on international law. Phillips points out thats exactly what they've done on Ukraine

Much more honesty about what just happened from inside the U.S. than from outside. The world is full of dishonesty and cowardice.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Right. My students working two part time jobs and/or having an hour and a half commute to uni because they have to live at home due to the cost of student accommodation lack drive and vigour. Sure thing, Peter. The UK Govt still haven't a clue about the realities of universities today.

Just to underline here: aligning Britain with the Trump White House - an openly fascist enterprise, actively pursuing a fascist world order including a fascist Britain - is insanely extreme, it is insanity. But all the lads are just fine with it because they are, at very best, utterly clueless.
Again: Ta-Nehisi Coates was not wrong - people who do not draw a line at genocide, will not draw a line at democracy. They are extremists by their nature.

Fascinating thread but I don't feel it's that complicated? This is what happens when you go out of your way to performatively kick your own coalition in the hope of impressing voters who never liked you to start with.
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

This take is more accurate than anything you would read in a mainstream outlet. Yet instead we get open displays of cluelessness or takes that border on performative innocence.
If you hate your own members & voters then don’t be surprised if they hate you back.
Maybe telling your own members & voters they are scum whilst chasing racists who hate you because you’re not as hateful & racist as them isn’t a surefire way to get people to like you

You can’t understand contemporary Britain unless you know the current government are a last desperate throw of the dice for not-fascist pretend democracy, before the hammer comes down and we move on to Enforced Thatcherism. Because Thatcherism is non-negotiable, and there will not be one step back.
How come Britain’s main left party is a bunch of horrific management cunts who hate the left, and have no support from anyone in the country except for our internationally remarkable, astonishingly toxic newspapers and broadcasters? Well that sure is a big mystery, let’s try to puzzle it out.

By "populist", it's safe to say the FT is referring to the far right
This matters though because it helps conflate any alternative to the status quo, whether left or far right, and leaves only the status quo as a "reasonable" alternative, even if said status quo is increasingly far right...

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.
