This is a classic case of seeing prominent media personalities as “the media”.
This post suggests grooming gangs were “airbrushed”.
Yet it was the mainstream media which actually exposed the scandal in the Times.
Blue ticks just dine on the spadework done by real journalists
The vast list of luxury items bought by Murrell with other people's money is jawdropping.
Like £200 Fortnum & Mason advent calendars and £2.6K Lalique salt and pepper grinders.
But my fav so far is £160 for Folio Society edition of 'The Origins of Totalitarianism'. Handy.
If you’re willing to attack reporters for correctly reporting on a politician’s taxes, you are simply a propagandist who has given up all sense of reason.
It doesn’t matter that he’s your friend or that he represents a cause you support, you are no longer interested in reality.
1 - Press report Zack Polanski does something wrong
2 - His supporters spend 24 hours denying he did anything wrong and attack the reporters
3 - Zack Polanski admits he did the wrong thing and apologises, his supporters move on like nothing happened.
Rinse & repeat.

🔴 Dubai was the perfect command post for the Kinahan crime family.
Despite a $5m (£3.8m) reward for his arrest offered by US authorities in 2022, Daniel Kinahan, the clan’s de facto leader, freely mingled with Europe’s most powerful drug lords at boxing tournaments and in Michelin-starred restaurants.
But on Oct 10 2024, things changed.

@jjarichardson It is far more egregious for the leader of a political party to retweet an attack on the brave officers and their heroism for successfully disarming an armed terrorist. That is precisely what has prompted this extraordinary intervention.
A good detail missed here in tweets. (So hard to keep up)
In encrypted messages shown earlier in court, McGovern told a fellow gang member following the Regency Hotel attack that "they targeted us, this is personal, on my baby's life I'm not stopping now".
Sister in law bought a guinea pig for £30 and is looking at pet insurance. She's been quoted £15/month. I have suggested she simply replaces the guinea pig every 8 weeks. Apparently this is "cruel".
I will never understand how a professional wordsmith with any self-respect could use AI to write an article.
If you cannot write, you cannot think. Writing is a craft, it is an art, it is a form of self-expression, one of the bedrocks of civilisation. Stop using AI to write!!
Dismayed that the head of the @WashingtonPost comms team would post so disparagingly about our laid-off colleagues. There is so much solidarity and respect among and between those who remained and those who were cut. This is the opposite.
