Reading about the new trade deal with India & reflecting on the fact that, almost a decade after the referendum, the realities of international trade are reported with a tiny fraction of the excitement & attention dedicated to the nonsense Brexiters spouted on the subject.

As I said on the show today, the word to watch is ‘obliterated’. It’s his ‘alternative fact’ (aka bare-faced lie) & the acolytes are programmed to repeat it until it becomes the accepted but still utterly false narrrative. Most media still can’t process the completeness of the corruption.

One Labour MP told me: “I can’t support a policy that targets the most vulnerable in society. It’s just not very Labour.” Another said: “This isn’t just bad politics, it’s wrong” hyphenonline.com/2025/06/25/l...

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.
