These "murmurings of disquiet inside Labour Party" stories do make me wonder who's whispering into the ears of our parliamentary/ political reporters. The bigger Q is why they give these sources any credence, as the stories usually disappear without even a puff of smoke 🤔

A weapons arsenal 300km inside Russia eviscerated in a Ukrainian drone attack.

It strikes me that UK parliamentary politics correspondents are trying to justify their existence after the Tory psychodramas with manufactured hyperbole. The US media learned to cope four years ago, I hope ours do too. 🙃

Why is a BBC Politics reporter pursuing what is a BBC local news story? By all means keep MPs honest, but is the deselected ex-MP and his Corbynist faction at S Ilford CLP behind the Jas as landlord story? Reminiscent of their phoney complaint re Jas just before 2017/19 GE.

Joe Pike doesn't really understand politics, does he?!

In the first days after the presidential election in Belarus in Aug 2020, the regime’s thugs beat, detained, tortured thousands of people.

Endlessly courageous, Belarusian women dressed in white and went out to protest against the violence. This sparked weekly women’s rallies.

If it was easy, it wouldn’t be a challenge.
Run 100 Miles in September.
Run to help fund life-saving cancer research.
And run because, deep down, you love a challenge.

⚡️Ukraine launches new graduate program in drone development.

The Digital Transformation Ministry is partnering with the Kyiv School of Economics to launch a master's program training drone engineers to design, test, analyze, and improve UAVs.

Enjoyed this. Does a really good job of covering the historiographical and political debates. Inevitably had some dissents ...

ARREST: Two more people have been arrested after violent disorder in #Southport last week. This brings the total arrested for the #Southport and #Liverpool disorder to 44, with more to come.

Sorry but the way @OwenJones84 is scolding a Jewish MP here is an absolute joke. This is not genuine good-faith enquiry.

It was a poster saying explicitly "Get Zionists out of Finchley". Sarah Sackman is the Jewish MP for Finchley with many Jewish constituents -->

Posted by the deputy leader of British fascist organisation "Britain First", and then approvingly retweeted by Twitter's resident village idiot, Elon Musk.

This is another post from ‘Finchley Against Fascism’. It appears to be from one of the organisers.

Zionists (Jews) who attempt to join this group will have their details circulated throughout the “community” as a known Zionist and “enemy of the cause”.

They seem nice!

Keep reporting incendiary posts by the CEO of this cesspit... for hate speech, incitement etc.

[FAB Fiona 🇺🇦 @FionaFAB]

@PhillipsPOBrien Read it this morning. T's rhetoric = dog-whistling. The journalists weren't his audience but vehicles for his msg: he deliberately 'reminds' his racist supporters that Kamala's 'not one of them' and that 'asylum'-seekers are all crazy. Right though, it alienates independents.

@DAaronovitch Thinking about this point reminds me that I've always thought Victoria Derbyshire is very much better discussing/interviewing guests on policy than she is on politics. It suits her forensic focus approach/her eye for the detail. #Newsnight

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Time for the policy specialists to step up and the political correspondents to retreat. We need to understand what’s being proposed and whether it’ll work, not endlessly opine on whether Labour will face threats in 2029

[Mike Katz @mikekatz]

Danny is spot on here. @ShabanaMahmood understands antisemitism and has taken action against it. She's shown enormous strength and resilience in the face of serious and personal attacks since 7 Oct simply because she is a senior Muslim Labour woman. She deserves better than this.

[Sam Bright @WritesBright]

Reform has five MPs.

Three used to work in the City of London (including one for Lehman Brothers).

One is a property magnate.

One is paid £100k a year as a GB News presenter.

This is apparently a “party of the people”

Today is World Chocolate Day - a perfect opportunity to grab a book, brew and some chocolate and settle down to read☕️We've been flicking through 'The natural history of coffee, thee, chocolate' from 1682 😋

[Paula Surridge @p_surridge]

Worth noting that both of the seats declared so far with Reform in 2nd place had UKIP 2nd places in 2015 - vote shares up a little I think
