Another BBC apology. (Definitely recent)

They’ll have to issue another soon for calling them a ‘political party’ 😊

In an article about the Liberal Democrats’ spring conference we wrongly described the political party Reform UK as far-right when referring to polling. This sentence was subsequently removed from the article as it fell short of our usual editorial standards. While the original wording was based on news agency copy, we take full responsibility and apologise for the error.

Hopefully a few simpletons will catch on one of these days.

Maybe not as they lean the same way.

Apparently most of what the BBC have reported on in Israel is accurate. How that can be confirmed I have no idea but it is 🙄

Who’d have thought. 😊

She’s growing on me.😉

Whereas the Tories say they have a plan (they don't) and will stop the boats (they won't)

Funny how the funny entrenched Tories can not see how Tory like the Labour Party now is. 

You mention Labour and 3 posts about the Tories. 😅😅😅

A laugh for each.👍

Yep. Rachel’s hero it seems. Delivered a ‘decade of renewal’ Some of us knew it all along. Our next Chancellor is saying all the right things.

What a load of one-sided guff, not hardly surpising some have jumped up to bite the Tele's headline in their hope to try and split any Labour vote as that's what they have left.

So, in a new update on The Usual's fact check - what she is actually going to outline is that the UK is facing the same sort of economic turbulance was we did at the end of the 70s (so long, and thanks for all the fish Sunak), and whilst there will need to be supply side economics to push the country out of the problem it is in, it can't also follow the Thatcher path as economic policies will also have to be inclusive and broad-based and not enter into some sort of managed decline as she did.

Its basically the pitch that business can trust Labour, something that has been a problem since the end of New Labour, and it seems to be working as businesses pivot to support the next government.

Politics, see? who'd have thought there's more to these things than the headlines?

Is it heck - BB is a better dead than red sort of chapington. He made his mind up round about 1987 and he's bloody well right, sonny jim.

An obstinate sort.

It does do a lovely lunch though...

I’ve not decided yet. No manifestos.

but I assure you the Tories can fuck off.

Mmm. We both know there’s only one alternative. Do you really want to see a manifesto? Manifestos aren’t worth the lies that are printed within them.

It’s also tactical.

Bolton west is a very marginal seat, and had Chris Green not been such a slimy cunt he may have had a sliver of a chance around here.

But he’s one of the current mob, so we need rid.

If it’s marginal, I very much doubt he’ll have a chance this time round. 
I really don’t care how you vote. I just wonder why people keep asking me.🤷‍♂️

So, like me and many others it seems, not Labour. Makes you wonder about these polls.🤔
