Please read @xanderescribe's masterful filleting of GB News's hypocrisy on Russell Brand

GB News has been at pains to connect Russell Brand and the ‘left’. But the channel should take a look at its own, much more recent treatment of the rapist, Xander Elliards writes ✍️

wonder how many SNP membership resignations this shift will lead to: I know a couple who've left this year over their weakness for oil and gas

The Budget today is the beginning of the end for Andy Burnham. Remember it wasn't the Mandelson calamity that made voters hate Keir Starmer, it began months before with high-level rhetoric diagnosing Britain's ills while refusing to do anything about them

I think they should let the people see the mummies but god if this doesn't sum up a lot of people in Britain today: 'Why should we develop our critical thinking skills beyond GCSE English?!'

Been thinking about the Mummies at @KelvingroveArt and the application of modern sensibilities to works of art & artefacts. Everyone who did GCSEs knows the intro to the Go-Between “The past is another country; they do things differently there” why can’t we just leave it at that?

Blair aide to write Burnham's Ten Year plan

Expectations are ramping up for John Healey’s statement next week. But with Treasury officials briefing that the Budget will be more of a process than an event, it may well not be the great crunch...

Important to know re:Jackdaw!
Ewan Gibbs (@ewangibbs) profile pictureEwan Gibbs@ewangibbsOct 21
Replying to @HMorrison97
It's a particularly weak argument because the contrast also lies with LNG rather than Norwegian gas which accounts for most British imports.

If the main argument for Jackdaw is that it's better than importing dirtier foreign gas, it clearly isn't much better...

Incredible that we're allowed to say I support Palestine Action now and it isn't a terrorist offence because it was fine for the wife of the national security adviser to do it! thenational.scot/news/266465…
No police action against national security adviser’s wife over Palestine Action post

No police action against national security adviser’s wife over Palestine Action post

NO further action will be taken against the wife of the Prime Minister’s national security adviser after she was accused of backing the banned protest group Palestine Action

It is hard to see how Jonathan Powell remains in post if his wife is a supporter of an officially-designated terrorist group That wouldn't fly if she'd said she backed Hamas or ISIS, would it? Unless these things are somehow...different...
