After 14 years, elated that the adults are now back in control of the asylum. Used to be a long suffering West Ham fan.

My goodness. There it is. The once-venerated white-shoe New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell is representing an adjudicated rapist in a case brought by the victim. I never thought I would live to see something like this. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Keir Starmer is up to speed, and then some, on what is happening nationally and internationally. He has a keen intelligence that can assimilate information rapidly and make confident decisions. Burnham struggles with the concept of having an HQ. It doesn’t bode well

It was wonderful to see Michael Gove have his arse handed to him on a plate on HIGNFY. He spent the whole programme with a self deprecating smirk on his face but there was a split second where the mask dropped and his inate ugliness surfaced.

#bbclaurak Watching Nicola Sturgeon and I'm impressed by her honesty. When can we expect Laura Kuennsberg to have an in-depth interview with Nigel Farage about the £5 million gift and the £1 million bribe from Christopher Harborne?

Laura Kuenssberg wanted to ask questions about me being in the pocket of a billionaire and our candidate being a misogynist. So naturally I sent Robert Jenrick, the man who intervened to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

#InconvenientTruth Starmer would beat every other leadership candidate in Parliament because *he's the best person for the job*. Leadership votes are on the "1st, 2nd, 3rd preference" basis & Starmer would beat both Rayner & Miliband on that. Streeting is nowhere. Burnham is only there as fantasy🙄

Labour's Anna Turley MP on Farage's £1.4m house purchase: “[He] has repeatedly dodged questions on his multi-million-pound 'gift'. Now we can see why – this totally stinks... "Farage took £5 million from a crypto billionaire, tried to cover it up, & bought an expensive house after taking the money"

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.
