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.
