Good to see a blizzard of EU flags at the Last Night of the Proms as per usual, in what has become an annual display of patriotism and openness.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

As usual the BBC seeks to lay the blame for failure with the current Government, rather than the likes of Michael Gove whose interventions in the education system resulted in the disfunctionality which Milburn singles out as being one of the prime causes of the problem www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For those who regularly tell me Labour are just Tory lite. They really aren’t. You’re being mugged off by the media who want you to believe that . I can give you multiple examples like this to prove my point. But this is worth a read esp if you’re outside London.

Why are the UK authorities and media so reluctant to investigate Russia’s interference in right wing UK? I thought it was purely to protect the Conservative Party, but Farage as well?🤷

Several questions: 1) Why is Farage "testifying" in the US about free speech bank home? 2) Why aren't any of our politicians back home laying into him like this? 3) Why does Farage's neck jiggle like that

Quite. We have been here so often. Clement Attlee had to bring in a welfare state whilst under constant attack by those supposedly on his side for being a traitor, blah blah. Every progressive improvement in this country has come from Labour. Including this government. The Left should defend it.
