@GBNEWS It's always the feigned misunderstanding, the ad hominem or the reductio ad absurdum with the left.
That, and the eye-rolling and the fake laughter.
@ArchRose90 I'm old enough to remember Burnham when he was a minister in the mid noughties.
Looks like he's still a bullshitting chancer with no grasp of the issues.
@drhingram Quite so. It's the same as the hoary old suggestion that the Murdoch press shapes the public mood.
It's the reverse. Print media traditionally follows the public. It's the easiest way to make money.
Interesting.
The meeja gave Starmer far too easy a ride into Downing Street and their reward was to see their diminishing credibility diminish even further.
They're not getting caught like that again, not if they want to keep their jobs. 'Robust questioning' is (belatedly) the order of the day.
Or maybe they just want to stop Burnham. Who knows, these days? Beyond self-preservation every public figure's motives are unclear.
@NewStatesman "Our first responsibility should be artfully to mischaracterise the family's wishes, the better to suppress such conversations as might provoke opposition to our agenda".
@timfarron@mjdaly57 I think Vance probably has 'resonance' beyond a limited circle.
He's the vice-president of the USA and he's functioning as very much more than a spare President.
@dannynolan64@timfarron Farron's is a child's response to something they don't really understand but by which they feel threatened.
"What's that? You're stupid, you are. A big, stupid, stupid person".
Keir Starmer talking about politicising the murder of Henry Nowak and then parading his family in front of photographers at Downing Street is quite possibly one of the worst things he’s done.
Yes, Conservative manifesto writer, better by far that Burnham's popularity collapses *after* he's won an election and the shock takes the economy with it.
Conservative mega-brains putting the nation last as usual. All they care about is winning back a few seats and bugger the rest of us.
Politicians, eh?
