So far zero moaning to have this BBC sports presenter fired for mouthing off in her spare time. Guess liberal lefties have more important concerns than cancel culture.

Great logic there. "What's not in the manifesto is what's scary!" The Tories don't have killing the first born in theirs. Just saying.

Now do they have "morphing into an alt-fash movement".

Anybody watching Newsnight tonight ?

Getting rather annoyed with Paddy O’Connell quizzing Faisa Shaheen, the erstwhile Labour candidate for Chingford deselected before the election for anti-semitic social media posts. Basically asking Shaheen about the likelihood of Labour deciding to lift the two child benefits cap before the end of the year, as if she still had some sort of inside track on what’s happening in the party . Shaheen expelled herself from the Labour Party by standing against the official Labour candidate in Chingford, a vanity candidacy that effectively saved Ian Duncan Smith’s skin. She had the audacity to suggest, agreeing with Danny fucking Finkelstein as well as O’Connell that it was Labour that decided they’d rather have IDS than Shaheen. Fucking outrageous. Chutzpah barely covers it.

I'm inclined to say silly season, but if they are that strapped for content, then scrap the programme and put on a Tom and Jerry cartoon.

The Reuters news agency, for example, pointed out that bread and coffee prices have actually fallen over the last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly Consumer Price Index.

But that’s not really the point. Factual or not, this was Trump connecting to voters on the issues that matter, and many do still feel the effects of the high levels of inflation under President Biden.

Yeah who cares if Trump is lying he's connecting with the voters. A big part in the rise of Trump has been the normalisation of his lies by media outlets.

The BBC website really should change the photo on the happy woman (dancing?) on the pop up asking you to sign in. I know they've had it for years but when I started reading an article about the Southport child murders and she popped up grinning mid-read it just seemed a bit inappropriate.

[Philip Marlow]

Quite.

Could such a mistake happen if he wasn't on your speed dial list?

There may well be a lot of important questions to be asked but there's not a hope in hell's chance of this despicable man answering them honestly. So what's the fucking point?

I think the BBC realised very late in the day that helping to promote Johnson's piss poor book with a cosy chat with Laura was a bad idea and this was the perfect excuse to scrap the interview and save face.

HIGNFY next Friday. Andrea fucking Jenkyns. Fuck's sake.

[satnav]

The same Andrea Jenkyns who has spent years campaigning to defund the BBC?

[Samanfur]

Which hopefully won't have been forgotten by the regulars.

I suspect that she'd turn up to the opening of an envelope if she got paid. Another one with the Gullis problem of no sane employer wanting to go near her, even with someone else's barge pole.

About 30 years ago I'd have thought "Great, she'll get some stick!" Now I just think they shouldn't be having her on.

Agreed. Johnson showed the dangers of treating these nasty pieces of work as a bit of a joke.

[Abernathy]

I think Jenkyns will get stick on HIGNFY, and deservedly so. I hope that Hislop and Merton rip 14 shades of pish out of her. I also think a crucial difference between Jenkyns and Johnson is that Jenkyns, unlike Johnson, is actually and authentically as thick as shite in the neck of a bottle. An appalling woman.

Having said that, I do object to the BBC giving new life to the careers of these deservedly failed Tories. Neil Hamilton, Anne Widdecombe, Matt Hancock. This has to stop.

And Johnson, if Kuenssberg hadn't cocked up.

If she did...

If.
