What next?? Bringing back the stocks?? It’s medieval-with apologies to the medievalists.

The right’s messages are simple. The left’s are complex. Life is complex, but many people prefer simple messages. Saves thinking time. But simple answers to complex questions don’t work.

Even if everything said about him is true, which I doubt, it’s hardly a heinous crime. He got more media hounding than an axe murderer.

It is Reform who have raised the temperature of political discourse. How ironic that Farage feels threatened.

A credible threat of having his photo taken with a bin and a load of other joke candidates more like. Pathetic.

So they’re just tribalist as we always knew. Now that hate Catholics has run out of steam, it’s hate Muslims. There really are more worthy things to expend your energy on, you know.

Yep. They started on Starmer as soon as he walked through the door. Starting on Burnham before he’s even got that far. How can anyone get on with the job with a media like this?

Yes, they are. Screamed about the winter fuel payment. Most don’t need it. Screamed about a suit and glasses, after a PM looking like he’d been pulled through a hedge backwards. Went ballistic over Mandelson when he was a tactic for dealing with Trump. And they wonder where the hate came from 🤷‍♀️

And whatever you think of Starmer, the media were out to get him from day1. From the decent suit and glasses to the ‘boring’

The media have been platforming Farage without scrutiny for years. But heaven forbid the PM should get a decent suit and a pair of glasses.

Absolutely this. From day 1 the media has laid into him. How does a decent suit and a pair of glasses get more outrage than £5 million or consorting with Russian oligarchs?

Exactly this. Trump is an aberration in US presidents. Why keep giving air to his insults? We heard them the first time. It’s as if the media seize with glee anything anti Starmer.

He was appointed because it was thought he’d be good at schmoozing the Trump regime. Not because he was a pillar of goodness. It backfired big time, but trying to find a complicated back story about why and how is pointless.

The main thrust of this interview was the terrible tragedy which happened to John Hunt and his daughter Amy. They very bravely spoke about it. Yes, Camilla’s attack was spoken of in the context of violence against women. Why did you make this the headline??

Listen to Katy Melua with the Gori Women’s choir from quite a few years back. The Little Swallow, very beautiful.

Much as I favour this cause, protesting every week about the same thing in the same place is crowding out other worthy protests. The Rejoin EU march has been postponed, mainly because they can’t get a look-in. Share the space, there are other issues.

What’s he supposed to do? Trump’s the elected POTUS. Starmer didn’t vote for him. We can denigrate Trump as much as we want as long as we’re not going to USA. Our PM can’t.

You might be surprised at the people who watch QT. It’s so confrontational now that it really appeals to the tribal demographic.
