Day one.
Already Beth Rigby and Chris Mason are asking for 100 day promises and headline deliverables they can peg stories to. They badly want to be able to write a failure narrative before he’s even begun.
Patience. Gov has a changed mindset. Journalists should try it too.
This should be TOP story on the BBC News website and on the front page of every national newspaper.
But it’s nowhere to be seen aside from the individual efforts of a handful of committed, caring people.
I don’t watch
@GBNews
but some of their clips end up on twitter so you get glimpses of their cesspit. Farage is now openly arguing to loosen money laundering regs.
As if by doing so people on council estates will be better off.
Brexit 2.0.
How stupid are people in the UK? 🤦🏼♂️
He is an appalling man.
He is spending his time disowning his own candidates.
He calls Andrew Parker an actor. He’s an actor himself. When he isn’t on the stump performing anger to £25 a time punters he can’t sound coherent at all. He’s a two bob shyster. A liar. What a twat.
Nick Robinson really needs to stay on the topics Nigel won’t answer. £140BN hole. The man is a f***king bullshitter. Total fantasist. Can’t answer a single direct question. Can’t even waffle around it. Just shifts to talking about something or someone else. Every single time.

I’m reminded afresh of the stupidity of Brexit on the Ref Anniversary.
Seven long years of lies, fantasy, Tory personal aggrandisment and total failure.

Who still wants a Tory government?
Waters we can’t swim in?
Hospitals we can’t heal in?
Schools we can’t learn in?
Shops we can’t afford to spend in?
Jobs that don’t pay?
Train networks that don’t work?
A government we can’t trust?
And a country we can’t be proud of?
🤦🏼♂️
Farage was never “debanked”.
Coutts made a decision that, on balance, they didn’t want him as a customer. They were careful to offer him banking services via NatWest.
He was NEVER denied banking services.

Imagine all the Nadine Dorries fans along with the Johnson and Ree-Mogg acolytes who rage every day about civil servants “working from home”.
Nads doesn’t seem to be working at all.
It’s quite a list isn’t it?

Have to say Beth Rigby may think she’s giving Starmer a grilling but she’s actually just coming across as a supercilious and smarmy smart arse.
Weird attitude.
Today’s exposed lie is that immigration is to blame for no school places, no homes, no GP appointments, no hospital beds.
It isn’t.
The government haven’t invested in this country. That’s why provision has fallen behind need.
Don’t blame immigrants.
It’s the Tory’s fault.
How easy it has been for Farage to totally hijack the news for days!
Serious damage is being done to this country and yet we are forced to endure the pantomime of an odious grifter playing the victim over rejection from a symbol of the establishment he professes to hate. Joke.
One man can’t use a Coutts bank
Millions now using food banks
Which gets the most coverage?
Which gets most Govt intervention?
Which gets the speediest action?
This country is broken.
Will this be the national headline it should be? All day long?
Boris Johnson fails to follow the rules, flouts the law and sits on important evidence.
Where are all the mainstream journalists and what are they spending their time on??
Should be leading every news running order: “Boris Johnson still in possession of his old mobile phone containing crucial WhatsApp messages despite strict deadline set by Covid inquiry. Sunak’s government unable to surrender phone by yesterday’s deadline.”
Unless this man is unseated on July 4 even a Labour win will feel to me like a partial victory.
Please, please, please, all you Somersettians, you know what to do!🗑️🚮🗳️

Farage is hopeless. Slagging off his own policies in the interview with Mishal Husain this morning. She calmly exposed him as the chinless moon-howler we know him to be. He is a racist grifter on the make. How many low IQ Brits are mad enough to make him even richer?
My first follow back Friday on this account since overturning a 3 month ban by Twitter for castigating Johnson when he compared Brexit to the Ukraine war.

I’ll be voting Labour, but Jesus, fuck me 🤦🏼♂️ This tries my patience.
This timorousness and running scared from reality has to end at some point.
It’s no way to do politics.
At some point somebody has to make the case for rejoining because it’s the only option long term.
Every time Badenoch steps onto the stage she sounds inept. She hates to be challenged, in fact, she bears all the hallmarks of someone who has been over-promoted. Tetchy and always caught off guard.

What every sane person recognised the moment the referendum result came in…
It was a vote to make life worse, a vote borne of spite, a lashing out, a tantrum, a spasm, a mistake.
On it goes …
Victoria Derbyshire, "It was Conservative Brexiter Jacob Rees-Mogg who promised cheaper food after Brexit. And it was Conservative PM Boris Johnson who said there would be no extra checks on trade. It appears both were wrong"

With the missing sub, has anyone explained why a vessel with a dive time of 96hrs wouldn’t automatically be fitted with some form of location device and fail safe so that in scenarios of power and comms loss you can at least quickly locate its position?
Uxbridge. A case study in why never to be complacent in UK politics. The left/progressives split their vote and leave the field open for awful Tories time and time again.
Selby was supposed to be the tricky seat. Uxbridge, a cake walk. 🤦🏼♂️

The thing with Brexit Tom: it makes the shit every other country is dealing with 100 times worse for us. Shared problems: but a magnified effect here. That’s Bloody Brexit.
What has the UK done to itself?
It’s tragic.
All countries have ups and downs in their national stories. That’s to be expected. The world pushes and pulls.
But the self-destructive impulse at the heart of the UK’s current trajectory is breathtakingly sad.
Capricious fools.
Three frauds:
One issued with a warrant for arrest;
One likely to be arrested next week;
One grilled by his peers in committee next week.
All emblematic of toxic personal hubris; none of them care for improvements to their respective countries.
All in the dock.
Experts of the world stand down!

Apparently, thanks to squinting a lot, thinking it all through between two horse races at Epsom, Andy says there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. All cushty.
What were we all thinking? 🤦🏼♂️
By far the biggest insult is the extent to which this scumbag thinks anyone cares about his Coutts account or the fact that the bank rightly identified his scummy outlook as a reason to not keep him on as a customer.
These are the kinds of Freedom you champion Nigel.

Lies, distraction, misinformation, manipulation, self-interest, incompetence. I’ve had enough of all these things. Personified by Braverman boasting about police numbers this week. Lying to our faces.

Seven years ago everything was so much better.
Things weren’t perfect, but there was an equilibrium, a recognisable world of rules, standards and potential futures.
But there were just 48hrs left …
I still can’t believe it.
An entire country lost its head. For nothing.
@colinbrazierGBN
If you think there is a shred of insight here you need to give your head a wobble.
The irony, of course, is that Lionel Shriver’s ongoing onanism is to make her reactionary worldview the epicentre of world events. A self-serving, decadent and misguided way of seeing things.
I’d take the lot now:
Euro
Schengen
European Superstate
Army
Straight bananas
All of it.
Bring it on.
And let’s put this tawdry episode behind us shall we?
The coils of Tory mismanagement continue to unspool. 🌀
Sunak seems more out of touch than ever. 💰
Johnson never seemed more like Trump. 🤡
Braverman seems psychotic. 😈

The free market. In all its glory.
What was it Thatcher said about running out of “other people’s money”?
🤦🏼♂️
Quite a lot of people (since the Coutts news broke) have openly said that Farage has laundered Russian money.
In these litigious times, has he lawyered up and gone after anyone that’s asserting he is a money launderer?
🇬🇧
More than a decade of “austerity”. No money out.
Highest tax take ever. Lots of money in.
Yet the national debt gets worse, and the rich get richer.
Mugged. Robbed. Conned. Shafted.
This is where trusting the Tories on the economy gets you.

Sometimes the Tories attack higher education. Sunak put the boot in recently.
But ignore them.
Do go to university. Study the humanities and the arts.
You may not end up running a corporation.
But neither will you be the kind of fool who falls for this day in day out.
How big a **** did Sunak sound on
@LBC
?
What an absolute patronising turd of a man he is.
He has no idea how angry people are. And even if he did he wouldn’t accept it.
Thin-skinned shyster who cannot listen to the people he claims to represent.

You’ll get zero sympathy from a country sick to the back teeth of your lies, self-serving attitude and divide and rule approach to your fellow Brits.
You can’t even help homeless people without subdividing groups. Hopeless.
They support Johnson.
They support Brexit (but don’t really know what Brexit should be in any workable sense).
They have contempt for parliament.
They show contempt for YOU.
It is a dwindling band of fools and miscreants.

Sometimes Brexit will be the cause.
Sometimes Brexit will be the amplifier.
Sometimes Brexit will be both.

I’m not surprised he doesn’t do many interviews. Utter 🐎 💩 from start to finish.
The woman who thinks you’re all utterly stupid, but will pay her bills if she performs a few racisms for you, admits here that the PM has no mandate, never did have, but that she agreed to endorse him as long as she got cut her deal. And she calls that democracy. Mugged. Again.
