@dave43law Spreading hate and nastiness and bitterness and bile is how America got where it is now. This stuff works for the wealthy who benefit from it
At her first #PMQs as Leader of the Opposition, @KemiBadenoch claimed Labour’s Autumn Budget “did not even mention defence”.
This isn’t correct. Defence spending was referred to multiple times in the Budget document and also in the chancellor’s speech. https://t.co/FV9toE1lur

BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.
This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.
NEW: @TheNewsAgents special report: The Abortion Crisis in Florida.
The story of how religious groups, with the connivance and support of the state, are lying to vulnerable women, promising to “reverse” abortions, and endangering lives.
Listen now.

The idea that your local smallholding or tenant farmer is threatened is just preposterous. I do understand and admire the intense comradeship of farmers. But the vast majority of people in the industry are simply not going to be affected
The government are going after the super rich. The likes of James Dyson - who owns 14,600 hectares of British farmland and Anders Holch Povlsen, who reportedly owns ca 89,000 hectares of Scotland. Despite being worth tens of millions neither estate WAS liable for inheritance tax.
The more optimistic assessment has been drowned out by the breadth and frenzy of the right-wing attack and the eagerness with which it's been taken up by many broadcasters. But that is not a reflection of likely effectiveness. It's a reflection of politics.
Once more, with feeling:
Labour WON the election.
There's no longer any need to pander to RW media outlets which will never give the party a fair hearing anyway (their reporters are literally employed to find fault with Labour).
So stop trying to suck up to them.
Just imagine…
If the media had scrutinised the phrase, ‘Brexit means Brexit’, with the same fervour that they’ve picked apart the term, ‘working people’.
In a perfect world, the media would be scrutinised too, but maybe that’s too much to ask?
Warm regards,
A journalist.
