Michigan’s primary reckoning for the Democrats

Despite record outside spending, Abdul El-Sayed and a slate of left-leaning candidates triumphed over establishment and incumbent rivals.

So I was resting after a long walk, and an Italian fire service plane skimmed Lake Maggiore to top up for the fiery drama elsewhere and then flew off. Perhaps the most dramatic two minutes of my life. Pass the nuts.

Why are Tory backbenchers so utterly mute and pathetic on the Net Zero lunacy and unhinged leadership of Badenoch? They deserve complete oblivion. #bbcpm

My late father used to mute the radio and TV at light speed whenever Major came on. Wondering what tactic he’d have employed for the deeply loathsome Badenoch. #r4today

Just an inexcusably shit-stirring, dog-whistle, fact and pushback-free episode of #r4today. A disgrace.

Imagine, after everything, all the financial scandals coming in thick and fast, surrounding Reform and Farage, platforming Zia Yusuf to spout uncosted, ludicrous, nasty policy that will never happen. And giving no pushback. Thank you #R4today for the party pilitical broadcast on behalf of Reform.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

This episode of #r4today has been brought to you by dog whistles.

Favreau: He’s a moron. He’s gotten us into a disastrous war. He made everything more expensive. He has bumbled his way through his second term by using the government to make himself rich and punish everyone who doesn’t like him. And also, on Trump “losing a step”—Donald Trump never had a step.

How has the hideous embarrassment of the Reflecting Pool disgrace not sunk Trump? How cheap, shabby, shit, lying second-hand car salesman can you get?

Bernie Sanders: "The immediate issue of the moment is whether or not we continue to put tens of billions of dollars into the extremist Netanyahu government which has killed 75,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children ... "

The fact Nigel Farage still has a public presence and level of support tells you all you need to know about how shit and incompetent the British media is. Decent journalism would have shellacked him years ago.

Make no mistake, this woman is a shit-stirring idiot.

Has any Govt in history ever been this embarrassingly bad, incompetent and pathetic? #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.
