The BBC news Chris Mason telling us what we should think. Turned over to Wimbledon much better for my blood pressure!
A policeman with the best seat in the house and being paid to sit there on the first day of the 2nd Ashes Test at Lord's, June 24th 1948 (C)
Sir Keir Starmer brought the Labour Party back from the brink and two years ago he led us to a historic landslide victory that returned Labour to government. It has been a privilege to work alongside him, and thank him for the dedication and service he has given to both our party and our country.
Angela Rayner v Andy Burnham for PM. A proper Contest! No given for Andy!
It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.
Chris Mason says SKS future's hanging by a thread. I wish Chris Mason 's future at the BBC was hanging by a thread.
There is no need to look across the Atlantic for trade when we have the largest free market on our doorstep - Europe. The Chancellor is right, economic gravity is reality, and repairing our trade ties with Europe should be a priority: we can start by rejoining the single market and customs union.
Richie Benaud leaves the field at the end of his final Test v South Africa at the SCG on February 12th 1964. It was a low-key farewell, but a week earlier in his final Sheffield Shield match he scored 76 and 120* and took five wickets as NSW won a thriller against SA by 6 runs
The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain? Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews
🚨 Brufatto, Director of Policy at Best for Britain: “This is the most significant intervention from the UK government on the prospect of aligning our service sectors with the EU, going beyond just goods. The Chancellor is right to say that “the biggest prize” is a comprehensive deal with the EU."
Chancellor says “the biggest prize” is a trade deal with the EU
Rachel Reeves is correct to argue a trade deal with the EU is "the biggest prize", as campaigners welcome the Chancellor

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.
Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽 Music to my ears. ~AA
Every time Chris Mason appears on the BBC news i immediately change the channel!
An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.
Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time” Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist
The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.
Imagine selling out to the Russians. Imagine selling out to Pro Lifers Imagine turning your back on EU Imagine betraying your country Imagine being a dodgy house buyer Imagine that smirk
Kinnock is one of the finest proponents of progressive thought in this country and the best prime minister we never had.
In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration". Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGhP...
Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets. The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social #PMQs
