Just found out that diarrhoea is hereditary.

It runs in your jeans.

A powerful omen on the BBC front page. The gods are angry with Burnham for dethroning Starmer.

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

Great to welcome the newest member of the PLP, my friend Andy Burnham, to Parliament.

He'll be a brilliant representative for the people of Makerfield, and I am sure he will quickly make his mark in this place!

The residents of Aberdeen once thought they saw the sun, but it turned out to be an oil field on fire.

@LemanWalters @cfdownes_ @Harry_pitt @JoshFerme I did wonder if it was tactical, a la muh brexit bus muh 350m a week, but I don't think they're capable of that.

1) British training and weapons do kill Russian soldiers in Ukraine
2) British and Russian elites like to spread bollocks about how effective the other country is (muh Russian bots, muh hand of the british)

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

Muscovites took to the streets in protest after yesterday’s attack!

But don't expect any unrest. The protest was directed against... the United Kingdom.

The signs read: “Britain spreads death,” “Britain is a sponsor of Ukrainian terrorism,” and “Enemies of Russia — get out of the country.”

It seems the search for someone to blame has once again led anywhere but the Kremlin.

Held off commenting on rape gang inquiry because I was on late night GBN:

Being objective: It’s great that survivors were given a platform & feel like they had their stories heard, I know the feeling of being ignored is something that cuts deep after all these years, however…

Only the British Civil service would say 3 weeks isn't enough time to analyse some survey data lmfao

[Diana Harding @DianaHarding7]

So Starmer & co say social media ban isn't ‘a rush job,’ yet:

▪️Civil servants had just three weeks to analyse the biggest public response to a consultation for more than a decade.
▪️Internal government documents revealed concerns from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology’s (DSIT) own expert panel that there was a “substantial” lack of evidence to justify key aspects of the plans.
▪️Sir Jeremy Wright, who as culture secretary spearheaded the Online Safety Act, questioned why the ban had been announced before ministers had established whether there was technology to verify the ages of children at 16.
▪️Baroness Kidron, the architect of the children’s code, said:
“The biggest problem is not that they did it quickly...It is that they took it away from parliamentary scrutiny, whipped against all our detailed and sophisticated solutions and now have gone for a headline without a plan.”

-------------------------------------------------------

And let us not forget, Starmer was anti the ban. In the words of the shadow technology secretary:
"The Prime Minister instructed his troops three times to vote against a ban. We have had debates. The Prime Minister would not give a view.

But, lo, a career-critical by-election comes along, and on realising that protecting kids is not just popular but vital, the Prime Minister has finally found his voice."

Trust the plan, Agent Starmer is delivering.

[Andrew Lilico @andrew_lilico]

One of my sons was radicalised into becoming anti-state by the sugar tax. To him government meant "stupid people who made all my favourite drinks taste bad". I suspect the social media ban will similarly radicalise a large cohort of young people into becoming anti-state.

@Keir_Starmer This is my responsibility as a parent not yours. Mind your own damned business.
