@MCWebDev1 @MittensOff Don’t forget that Labour had the Creative Curriculum focusing on child lead learning just about to be implemented was scrapped. I came the ridiculous enhanced SATs!

@AllyFogg @domdyer70 Only very occasionally!

@Parody_PM @LeeAndersonMP_ Or Nadhim Zahawi - inclined to try not to pay tax.

@SamJRushworth Griffith is a plank!

I sent @bbcpress questions ahead of tonight’s show about the the failure to include a single critical voice & whether the lack of due impartiality is a breach of the BBC’s editorial code…

….I received no reply.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I also asked how @bbcquestiontime intended to introduce Laura Gilbert. She is a paid employee of the Tony Blair Institute. It is funded by Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle who has commercial interests in AI in the UK & beyond.

She is not, in any capacity, an independent AI expert. @bbcpress did not respond to my query

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

So you know what @bbcquestiontime did with Farage? They’re now doing it with AI.

This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice.

Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And for ‘balance’? A Tory MP.

Tony Blair is right about the politics of the 2020s, but his essay doesn't have a project that fits what the country needs today.

Britain's economy is being held back by collapsing public services. From energy to health, we must become a country that invests in our future again.

@Dan4Barnet @Anniepop2027 Funny looking at the replies. Clearly lots of people have forgotten that @griffitha was key in engineering Johnson to be PM and was Secretary to the Treasury for Truss 😂

@i_pinkwolfie @Dan_Wyke @njc99 @BBCr4today He wasn’t challenged on anything. The standard of journalism is so disappointing. The only thing @bbcnickrobinson seemed to be energised about was Nicola Sturgeon’s husband.

Reform is proposing the deportation of 2 million people - including people legally here.

"Politically it feels quite clever doesn't it," says Trevor Phillips, and leads a discussion that revolves entirely around whether it is affordable and practical.

These are people who sweep our streets, look after disabled people, keep the care sector functioning. People who work incredibly hard and are invariably very badly paid. People who have families, lives, hopes, dreams. Without whom the economy simply wouldn't function.

This country has arrived at an appalling place.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Correlation is not causation but facts are facts.

@thenerve_news has also established that Harbourne has poured an extraordinary £30m into British politics! In just 6 years.

This is a story not just about Farage, but Johnson too.

@KathrynDW59 @K4Owen Good luck 😊

To hear the CEO of Palantir using the serious matter of sexual abuse by Met officers to attack the Mayor of London for rejecting his company and so cutting his profits shows exactly why Palantir are not fit to lecture anyone on values.

Louis Mosley should be ashamed of himself.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Noting too that one tweet by the Green candidate in Makerfield getting far more airplay than the dozens of vile posts by the Reform candidate … double standards media day after day.

[Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy @GyllKing]

Tesco make £3 billion plus profits and yet nearly ALL of their shop floor staff are in receipt of universal credit. Shareholders and profits directly subsidised by the taxpayer.

Tescos are the benefit scroungers.

How hard can it be to outlaw this?

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

This is a shocking indictment of the abject failure of UK news shows to get the actual facts about net migration across to the public and call out the bull**** by the likes of Nigel Farage.

If UK news shows can’t get the job done let’s damn well do it ourselves!

[c.sheff @ces111]

@PieCorbett @MattChorley @bbc5live Breaking down the barriers that some children experience in accessing education isn’t a ‘silly stunt’ in my opinion. If Gemma Collins can reach people the government can’t, then surely that’s a good thing.

Illuminating piece on how Nige really has got himself into a spot of bother…that he might not be able to wriggle out of

Private Eye gets this spot on - sad to lose Kuenssberg and Mason 😂
