iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Just watched again what Burnham said to Mason about City’s owners yesterday. I’m clearly not a journalist or politician as I didn’t see anything in his comments that warrants the pile on the BBC and others are now embarking on.

The French don’t mess about when it comes to demonstrating do they. Just imagine if the French Government tried to introduce the level of tuition fees we have in the UK

The cliffhanger endings to #thetraitors are up there with The Basil Brush Show when Mr Derek slammed the book shut.

Richard has made this series of #thetraitors with that one comment. Wonderful

Are the BBC going to continue to provide daily coverage of prisoner releases when they have completed their full sentences ? I don’t recall this level of coverage when Sunak oversaw a scheme in 2023.

I’ve always been told we should learn from our mistakes. So why then aren’t the BBC interviewing the Tory Ministers who oversaw austerity and failed to provide the prison and probation places which has lead us to this position.

Just caught up with #bluelights !!! Probably the most stressful hour of the week !!

Our media have been telling us that we need a vision for the country and that was Starmers failing. Burnham spends yesterday setting out a possible vision and all the media concentrate on this morning is pensions 🤪

Can’t help thinking it’s Trump and Putin who are the cause of our problems at the moment yet politicians tell us it’s Xi we should be concerned about. Funny old world.

Fantastic that John Burkhill has got his Sheffield Legend star. Now restore any faith I once might have had in the Honours system and give him a Knighthood. Over to you Sir Kier Starmer now is your opportunity to do the right thing.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

PM says no one in receipt of just the state pension will have to pay for social care. In reality how many will fall into this category going forward given Automatic Enrolment has been compulsory since 2012 ?

The Fairford incident is dominating the news cycle - and the right-wing. Over the past 48 hours we’ve seen speculation, insinuation and implication attempt turn a serious story about security into one about immigration. This is a long one. Make some tea.

A Dissection: The Fairford Fannywobble

How the right-wing commentariat turned an ongoing investigation into a migrant story before the facts were known.

What I will never be able to forgive Labour for is having 14 years in Opposition in which to come up with an idea for reforming and funding social care yet here we are 16 years later and 2 years in power waiting for Louise Casey to come up with an idea they can put in a 2029 Manifesto.

Looks more likely to me that these 5 blokes from London in their white vans were looking to nick some diesel from Gloucester farms rather than blow up a B52

BBC News reports this afternoon that the 5 ‘bomb suspects’ are all British Nationals from London.They follow this up immediately with a clip of Farage saying he has long warned of criminal terrorists coming in on boats !! Appalling journalism by the BBC.

"The one thing your viewers can know for sure is that we believe in controlling spending and reducing taxes, not increasing taxes," says Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, whose own government raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years, just two years ago.

I see the #Burnham has fallen into the usual UK Housebuilders trap. ‘Please Mr Burnham, can you chuck some money at first-time buyers. We promise to build more house & not just put prices up - honest.’ MPs will never understand that houses are a commodity, like oil, & UK Housebuilders are OPEC.

Big test for the IFR coming up. Don’t see how it has any choice but the declare the Directors and owners of Man City as unfit. But in doing so it possibly triggers a diplomatic crisis with the UAE and risks the investment they have put into Manchester presumably with the now PMs support. Messy

Small isolated fishing village in Croatia surrounded by mountains and the sea = perfect phone and WiFi signal. Village on Norfolk coast surrounded by by sea and open farmland = no mobile signal. And we are told we are world leaders in technology !!! We really couldn’t organise a 🍺 in a brewery !!

I hardly think making people wait 45 minutes for a drink counts as discrimination. It just diminishes the word, unless that is of course what Burnham and the BBC are hoping for 🤔

Everyone should join a union. Everyone. We were union members all our working lives, yet many of the younger generations have not bothered to join their appropriate union, they probably don’t realise the importance- but one day they might, but it’ll be too late.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men". Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"? How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

Mike, today was disappointing, just like the Wigan game where we struggled to retain the ball in midfield, there’s lots of room for improvement! That said, you are totally right; we've walked through the valley of the shadow of death. We’re in good hands, and the future will be brighter.

12 months ago fans were boycotting,9 months ago we weren’t sure if we’d have a Club,6 months ago we thought we would start on -15 points. Today we are 2nd in the league and unbeaten since the opening day, yet some fans apparently booed today. The sense of entitlement amongst some is staggering #swfc

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received - and that consequently, this country is at war with Piddington.

Piddlington looks an ideal location for one of the New Towns the Government is proposing. Think how many social homes could be built on that old army base.
