Based on a single sentence where she offers a few nice, fluffy words of comfort.

I think Reeves has shown us who she is enough times now for us to believe her. I'd love to have a chat with her about how the 80's were a 'decade of renewal' when for many of us our lived experience paints an entirely different picture. I barely saw my Dad for the entire decade because he had to go ...

Sod it, I'll watch it tomorrow. Reading through the right wing press this weekend I've noticed a bit of a narrative forming. It'll be good to lose the next election because winning it would be a poisoned chalice so better Labour than us. Which, if you take the five stages of grief seriously (don't d...

Blimey, I assumed Liverpool had played their youth side but apparently not.

Someone needs to have a word with ITV, who doesn't have a speed function on their web player these days? I was hoping to scoot through this at double speed with the crowd sounding like chipmunks.

Watch them lose to Coventry in the semi now :mrgreen: Was out wandering around the rural environs of Halifax so only saw it in semi-drunk snapshots while popping into the occasional pub. Watching it now online. Shibden Hall for any fans of Gentleman Jack. https://i.postimg.cc/tTTvywtp/Shibden.jpg

I remember watching some brexit debate the wretched ERG Tories were doing their best to filibuster when Jacob Rees-Mogg sneeringly proclaimed that the only reason the opposition benches were so incensed was because none of them had the vocabulary to talk for more than five minutes. Here we see Jacob...

Are Corbyn supporters in question that young, or just /cough> disingenuous ? Young by the sound of them, it's genuinely sad that they couldn't imagine state schools teaching music and having instruments. I think Blair erased learning a second language? I'm not sure about that. What I do know howeve...

Sky'sGoneOut

I mean fair enough, but watching Corbyn supporters saying 'If Starmer played the flute in the Eighties he's not working class', then getting their arses well and truly handed to them has been pretty funny. My bog standard comp had a separate music block which housed (amongst other instruments) a glo...

It wouldn't surprise me if they end up pushing it back all the way to January next year. From what we've been hearing about Tory backbenchers pleading poverty and needing a few more months wages to pay their mortgages it's clear all they care about is how much cash they can milk out of being in gove...

This is Flynn's dignified response to Phillips' tirade accusing him of all kinds of nonsense.

Thanks all, I went back and watched Phillips unhinged rant about Gaza and found it even more demented than I did at the time, this is only a part of it, she was allowed to go on like this for a good 5 minutes angrily jabbing her finger at the audience and attacking Stephen Flynn, who it must be said...

Question Time came tonight from Liverpool and kudos to the Scousers, they weren't taking any shit. For the Tories we had Lee Rowley. This evening Lee clearly wanted to be the best, and wanted to beat the rest, as he broke the record for the amount of times an audience laughed at a Tory MP. I actuall...

Hmm...racism is going to be a subject of debate this evening so who should we invite on the panel? I know, how about that mad woman who was quoted at length by Anders Breivik?

During prime minister’s questions, the speaker must select MPs from either side of the house on an alternating basis for fairness.

Second day in a row where no comments are enabled on the Graun live news. They're afraid of people libelling Frank Hester, which given what we're learning about the man would appear to be a near impossible task. And even if someone did manage it they'd simply have to apologise for being rude and th...

So Newsnight just had the 'black farmer' Wilfred Jones on blaming the left for weaponising racism while making excuses for racists on the right. According to him it's just an unfortunate matter of them not knowing the correct language to use. At least I think that was his argument, it was hard to ma...

Wow, I've been doing a bit of reading on Frank Hester's company TPP in Leeds and he sounds like an absolute headcase. Imagine working for this guy.

Thanks for posting a link to Parris' latest obnoxious scrawling Froggy. I hadn't actually read the whole thing.

And even their harshest critics surely cannot deny that things got worse for people on benefits from 2010 onwards. This simply isn't true in regard to sickness benefits.
