Despite the breathless media hype, only one Labour MP voted against the Government. Of those absent, many will have had slips approved for legitimate reasons. Far smaller rebellion than over lone parents under Tony Blair in December 1997.

Sarah Smith trying to be balanced with the Harris v Trump debate tonight but we all know she and her BBC bosses are Team Trump. They always fail to remind viewers that Trump is a convicted felon. #bbcnews

One year on, there’s still no unfettered access to Gaza for the international media. ‘This is shocking behaviour for a country that professes its commitment to the democratic ideals of a free press’ says the FPA

Oh FFS it’s Gullis. I thought he’d been reduced to Talk TV a YouTube channel. Why are you giving him a platform Sky News #skynews

Why Channel 4 News have you failed to report todays early release of prisoners was a scheme devised by the last Govt after they failed to build enough prisons as promised in 2021? Why also not report that every released prisoner is on licence & that any DV offenders have onerous

228 MPs voted for the status quo, to continue giving rich pensioners a free handout. They have absolutely no idea what’s in the budget. It’s political grandstanding by the Tories, LibDems, SNP, a handful of Labour MPs and the fringe parties. #skynews

The criminal justice system has been on its knees for years because Robert and his colleagues voted to defund the police, CPS, courts, probation, prisons and legal aid, causing record court backlogs and overflowing prisons. Yet apparently the solution is “simple”. Who knew?

For my book Taken As Red I found out that Alex Chalk- then justice sec- kept talking about a “pray date” in mid June - and told Rishi Sunak if he didn’t agree to 40% prisoner release scheme by then “we might as well get down on our knees & pray” 1/ itv.com/news/2024-09-1…

Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris/Walz. And how. ~AA

Kay Burley to Matthew Pennycook: Papers aren’t being very kind to you today. It’s every single day. And it’s not restricted to the papers. The broadcasters are just as bad. There’s a concerted campaign by the media to destabilise a new Labour govt. #skynews #BBCBreakfast

Nasty hostile interview by Burley. Matthew Pennycook held his line well. Yesterday she had a laugh and a joke with Mel Stride about his new suit. The Tory bias is off the scale. #skynews #bbcbreakfast

A feeble attempt by Burley to provide some kind of balance. ‘Of course the Tories released a bunch of people early’ It was TEN THOUSAND Kay. #skynews #bbcbreakfast

Well said Matthew Pennycook correcting the presenter. Calling the election wasn’t the reason the Tories failed to introduce no fault evictions legislation. It was because of vested interests. #bbcbreakfast #skynews

Help with getting #PensionCredit

A LibDem on the panel for the first time since they returned from recess 10 days ago. #politicslive

Helen Whateley refers to a pensioner who only heats one room during the winter. They did this under the Tories Helen. You’re to blame for this mess and the £22 billion black hole. Own it. #politicslive

Helen Whateley seems quite proud that a pensioner is only able to heat one room in the winter. That’s after 14 years of Tory misrule. #politicslive

Sunak is as arrogant and out of touch as he was as PM. No humility, he’s sticking up for rich pensioners, he doesn’t give a damn about people on £13k and never has done. #politicslive #PMQs

Farage question was a patsy for Keir Starmer to lay into Sunak. I don’t think that was Frog Face’s intention but he must know the prisons crisis is all on Sunak. #politicslive

Good to see Jo Coburn asking Andrew Bowie what he would do if in power. No answer. He’s as clueless in opposition as he was in government. #politicslive
