Scouser bringing culture to Wigan ;-) Amongst other things I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening, science and technology. Makerfield voter, we saw them off! :-)

Here in the UK I have the camera on practically continuously on a second screen, yesterday it was nothing but mullet for hours and I do mean hours. I've seen sharks, rays, manatees; all sorts of undersea wonders but that was absolutely spectacular.

10/10 for the "..AI slop.." intro. Can we hope Labour have got a decent comms team together at last?

The French got rid of this in 1793, the Russians in 1917. Why have we still got it in 2026?

Genocide is Genocide, there is nothing political about it. It is certainly not "perry (sic), petty? politics". It is a basic humanitarian stance - genocide is evil. It's incredibly easy to say "I oppose genocide and agree with Macklemore" and in no way be political, just a decent human being.

Sorry for being an ignoramus here but why do you say "Undercover footage 'allegedly shows'.... " when we can all see undercover footage actually shows? The footage shows them discussing ways to avoid foreign funding law - why is everyone pussyfooting around Farage? Where's 'allegedly' come into it?

And as with Jason Arday, you can see the problem here. Because a handful of gatekeepers decide what is ‘news’ & what isn’t. This is a stunning investigation but if & how it catches fire depends on the follow-up…& Times & Telegraph are embarrassed & implicated. So much now depends on the BBC…

Disrespect! Do you tug your forelock when the better-than-you "royals" come on the telly? As for the racism remark - pathetic comment. The only person to bring up racism is you. Look, you like the "royals", we get it, but it doesn't mean we all have to put up with the drivel that surrounds them.

I don't think Ian's showing hatred or disrespect, he's just showing, like most right-minded people, absolute indifference to these two drainers of the public purse and wishes people would concentrate on the much more serious things going on in the world.

Back in Liverpool in the 60's beef was unaffordable and braised heart was often used for Sunday dinner. Cooked properly it was a good substitute. (I wouldn't want to rush back to it now though 😉)

Burnham sits in No. 10 issuing policies - "what does *he* know about the real world!" Burnham personally asks the "real world" what they would like him to do - "get back to No. 10 and govern!" The truth is you really just don't like Labour & Burnham, do you?

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Whoever is the next PM, fire the whole of the communications team and get some professionals in. Labour have done an awful lot of good for this country since they came to power but nobody's being told. They've done some stupid things, which the media pounce on - let's hear about the good stuff.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

I'm a Makerfield voter, I've spoken to Reform voters and you're spot on. Reform is becoming a cult just like Trump's Republicans. They refuse to look at facts. It's all "opinions" and "feelings" with them. Stone-cold facts just don't register with them.
