  14. And are you successful in debunking lies on Twitter Tim? Do you have an evidence to back up your seeming inaction in the face of CSAM on Twitter? Do we have to wade through CSAM to see the BBC twitter accounts correct the record?
    Why should we have to put up with that Tim?

  15. It's time for Blue Labour to fuck off, they have failed.
    If they want to fight ReformUK, they must not become ReformUK.
    As Haigh says, it's 'naïve' to carry on with this failed tactic.

  16. Chris Riddell on Labour’s Lawmaker Express. It is not for turning – cartoon for The Observer,
    1st December 2024.

    The resignation of Transport Secretary #LouiseHaigh over a mobile phone offence is a bump in the road for #KeirStarmer.

  17. “As a former director of the Crown Prosecution Service, Keir Starmer should know that a spent conviction provides the opportunity for people to rehabilitate.
    “It’s clear his decision to remove Louise Haigh from the Cabinet and replace her with someone on the Labour right is not about her previous offence. It’s a brazen manoeuvre to stifle pro-union voices within government.”

  18. CW: good rant on how Louise Haigh was treated

    "... she criticised P&O for their appalling labour relations... The difference [between Starmer &] Haigh on this issue was serious. ... I have little doubt, someone in Labour's corporate team planted the [spent conviction] story in the press ...

    "She made a mistake once, relying on poor professional advice. There but for the grace of God go most people."

    Unless, of course, there is more to it than we're being told. Can't rule that out.

    Especially as she was one of the few non-evil people in the cabinet. Maybe Starmer wanted to get rid of her for that reason?

  21. CW: UK Politics

    Louise Haigh has quit as Transport Secretary after it was revealed that she'd been convicted for a fraud offence.

    Wait, didn't she know about that before it was revealed?

    Seems to me that politicians have no problem with breaking the law, it's just getting caught that's the problem.
