Pretty sure Corbyn is pleased by his successor’s announcement acknowledging and rewarding his terrorist friends.
Then to rub salt into the wounds and show how tone deaf they really are they post this on social media….
HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH
from all of us at the Labour Party
good luck to allIt is not clear to me how acknowledging a Jewish observance is a ‘kick in the teeth’ or ‘tone deaf’ in relation to conflict involving the state of Israel.
The party that is comfortably the third largest in Parliament is having its conference at the moment. Guess whose latest ludicrous, unworkable and deeply damaging idea, the figures on which it is based having already been discredited by the organisation that came up with them, is top billing on the BBC?
There s more chance of Farage flapping by his arms and flying to mars than there is him actually being able carry out his ludicrous plans …
I didn’t see it myself, but I read on another forum that both the BBC and Sky News interrupted their normal programming to show a full hour of Reform’s statement today, without any questioning or critical debate, even when the feed broke up and failed.
The mainstream media aren’t even hiding the fact that they want a Farage-led government now.
Inexcusable, particularly from the BBC. Whatever metric you use, seats in Parliament, 2024 vote share, polling or anything else, the coverage of Reform is grossly out of proportion.
Meanwhile the ‘smaller’ parties with actual sensible and workable policies don’t get a look in and still people laughably claim left wing bias at the BBC, and across mainstream media for that matter.
If only people like Beth Rigby and Trevor Phillips would interrogate Farage et al in the same way that they interrogate other politicians ( eg Ed Davey on Sky News today). As for the coverage that Trump gets…the BBC had to pull the plug on him tonight because of his dangerous and unfounded accusations about paracetamol.
Ed Davey is making his conference speech today, so will the BBC and Sky broadcast it live and in full?
The BBC News channel seem as obsessed with Trump – and MAGA politics in general – as they are with Farage. The evening schedules from around 9pm seem to include little else other than yank hacks of uncertain provenance quacking white noise without pausing for breath
It’s damning with faint praise but I find Beth Rigby to be the best of the current crop of ‘political editors’: generally clear and concise speech, and reasonably adept at forensic interviews with politicians
That Trump bumf re: paracetamol was hideously daft, as was the undecipherable word salad from that ultra-weirdo Kennedy who sounds as though he’s lost the use of his vocal cords
Here we are: how did we get here?

On Sunday Starmer and his Government recognized a state controlled by a terrorist group with the declared aim to be the destruction of Israel.In the next breath they post New Year greetings.
Why would any person of the Jewish faith not find this two faced and distasteful?
good luck to allHow did we get here? As I have said before, 24 hour news and especially social media are a big part of it.
Hours upon hours every day are the broadcast equivalent of Phil Space. Every utterance of politicians pored over to the nth degree.
And look how easy it is to manipulate people through social media, for example how else did all these flags start appearing all over the place at the same time? Did thousands of people independently just happen to start doing that at the same time? Of course not. Nobody has ever stopped anyone flying a flag if they want to but within days it was apparently the biggest issue facing the country.
Recognising Palestine isn’t recognising Hamas or terrorism , I’m sure the right wing will make plenty noise about it , I mean thank God they achieved the Good Friday agreement … oh hang on they didn’t , that was Blair and Labour , damn that Labour party , achieving peace and saving God knows how many lives … still what Farage is proposing will bring lasting peace and harmony to the streets , he’s now after immigrants who are now legally here , whos next , very dangerous times ahead if this nonsense isn’t stopped
Unfortunately I’m finding that the man in the street, or rather the pub, is believing the bile that Farage is spreading.
These same people would moan loud and clear if their kebabs, pizza etc. were not delivered on time. I wonder if they realise who is delivering them?I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysPizzas and kebabs will no doubt be banned under Farage , that’s foreign muck , it,ll be rations to save money , hey it was good enough under Churchill , no more Tom Cruise or Adele either , it’ll be George Formby and Vera Lynn on all channels , Nigel knows what’s best for us and if you don’t agree then it’ll be the workhouse …
“no more Tom Cruise or Adele”
Hmmmm. Tempting….
Back in a minute: I’m just off to my nearest Royal Park to eat some swans.
