The Empire State Building shines red and white tonight in celebration of @Arsenal’s Premier League Title and trophy celebration.

Fail to declare a cash-in-hand shift and get prosecuted by the HMRC. Fail to declare a five million quid bung from a Thai-based crypto billionaire and nothing happens.
@myoddballs tried placing an order for that sweet discount for using the app, but the experience was absolutely awful. When’s your next big discount promotion?
Unfortunately, my school teacher is no longer with us to grade this piece through her golden rule of journalism: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
So, let us walk through Laura Kuenssberg's article together and scan it the way she taught me to.
WHO
The article relies heavily on an army of anonymous faces. 'An ally tells me', 'one cabinet minister', 'another minister', 'one source'. This is not verified reporting. It is Westminster gossip and unnamed sources. If sources have no names, they have no skin in the game and no accountability.
WHAT
We are told the race to replace the Prime Minister is officially on. But what has actually happened? One MP resigned from government and another wants to re-enter parliament. Everything else, the timelines, the coronation plots, is speculative drama, gossip, and unnamed sources designed for clicks.
WHERE
The setting is entirely inside the Westminster bubble. An article about such a momentous topic that will affect the lives of millions of citizens contains absolutely no mention of them. There is no word on how the stock market is already reacting or how this uncertainty will impact the entire country and every single citizen.
WHEN
The piece talks about a leadership contest over the summer, yet the author admits this timetable is miles away from being confirmed. A real journalist would know the rules, laws, and procedures, and would offer at least two alternative timelines, including the very real possibility that none of this happens at all.
WHY
We are told Starmer is being pushed because he is a 'slow decision-maker'. This reduces national governance to a personality contest. Why is there no mention of the GDP growth, the many advancements the government announced just last week, or the clear progress made on their manifesto? A proper journalist would look at these undeniable results and search for the deeper, hidden motives of the people challenging the PM.
The Verdict
My teacher would have given this a 2/10. It is a theatre review masquerading as news.
The author lists major issues on the PM's desk, help with energy bills, defense spending, social media safety for children, and so much more. Yet, these crucial issues are treated as mere background decoration for party infighting.
The fact that this comes from the BBC is what should worry us the most.
A broadcaster that built its global reputation on honest, investigative journalism now relies on writers who treat politics like a soap opera.
Between these narratives, figures like Robbie Gibb with questionable political motives, and an Ofcom regulator that does everything except its job, civic trust is being destroyed.
Laura Kuenssberg can go hand in hand with Chris Mason.
We are left to wonder why the two of them are doing this and what their motives are, especially regarding the BBC, which we pay for.
We deserve real facts, not orchestrated drama.

I am English. This is my country too.
And I don’t want racism or thuggery.
I don’t want MAGA Christian’s-fascism.
I want a free, open and caring society where everyone is welcome.
Remember the huge media fanfare when Farage launched a crowdfunder in March 2025 for his “independent grooming gangs inquiry”?
The Crowdfunder page showed c.£788k raised.
A year later: no inquiry, no published accounts, no explanation of where the money went, and no refunds.
Welcome to Rip-Off Britain.
One in five children is growing up in poverty, public services are crumbling - and the 10 richest families and individuals have grown £11bn richer in just one year.
Enough is enough.
Tax wealth, not work.
More good news on NHS wait times today!
Waiting lists down 110,000 in March
WE HIT OUR ELECTIVES WAIT TARGET DESPITE STRIKES at 65.3%
Add to that improving ambulance response times, ED wait times plus more GPs & Mental Health specialist recruited.
Lots achieved, lots to do
Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB:

Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.
Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.
Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.
Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does.
While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't.
It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.
When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:
They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.
They don't want a wealth tax.
They don't want public ownership & lower bills.
They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
