Manufacturing consent: why all the pundits & politicians proved wrong about austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss & Donald Trump are now ignoring objective reality, the lessons of Iraq & public opinion on the war in Iran. open.spotify.com/episode/2SOT...
But heβs in the House of Lords. Show deference!π±π€ͺ

All joy now removed from this conundrum. π #TheArchers
A must watch, imo.
Quite . I was thinking about βbut ladies merely glow β recently when a colleague was talking about people who sweat and fart on public transport.
I imagine Dane would do both if confronted with impending fatherhood with Hellen. #TheArchers
They are all praying for our souls. Amen. Our souls . @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Might is right is personified by Hegseth and his crazed speeches in the last two days.
Is this what leadership looks like?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social
But think of the crested newts, skylarks and lesser spotted locusts having their safe routes destroyed. π€ͺ
Or perhaps we were just to enjoy hearing Hellen grovelling to her extensively? #TheArchers
@mrjamesob.bsky.social says all they (politicians / journalists who speak the language of grievance) need is therapy.
Are there enough therapists trained and ready to deal with this ? π€ͺπ
It may have been Tolkien quoting his orks and goons.
They did have a meeting and βmake upβ (although it sounded like Celia had the upper hand knowing Hellen had cheated, and would use it later). #TheArchers
And sheβs Glowing π± #TheArchers
Adam Fleming: βYouβre living in a place where you can face 2 years in prison & a fine of Β£40k if the authorities donβt like what you post on social mediaβ
Isabel Oakeshott: βI have no issue with the authorities hereβ¦β
AF: βAnd if Starmer introduced that law?β

A huge decision and also the correct one.
Badenoch is touring the studios believing she's on a victory lap. In reality, she is woefully out of touch with mainstream opinion.
I had no idea until this all started that the UAE licences and pays many influencers to live there and write positively about the regime.
That puts a whole new spin on things.
Propagandists in pocket of regime.
It's why all the messaging is the same.

It's proper dystopian stuff going down in UAE.
A strange totalitarian Truman Show in the sand where everyone is acting on through.
Poisonous, Trump whispering Toad. #investigatefarage
What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social π
#bbcqt #IranWar
Hereβs an uncomfortable truth for several presenters on #r4today. For some reason [Iraq/Afghanistan] the Prime Minister is reluctant to send British soldiers to die in another pointless Middle Eastern war - but *heβs* the bad guy? #IranWar
He might be stupid, but launching a war has proved very successful in overshadowing the ongoing #EpsteinFiles scandal for him. Lost in the noise - another 47,000+ documents released, including the allegations against Trump by a then 13 year old girl. #IranWar #r4today
Regime change means regime change.
Labour and the liberal media should be hammering this at every opportunity. The ppl calling for greater involvement in a Middle East war are the same ppl that will be complaining about Iranian refugees turning up on our shores in small boats in a yrs time. #r4today
βWith respect mr Lammy, youβre not answering this gotcha question in the way I want you toβ. Gutter journalism #r4today
1/2 The overwhelming majority of British people do not want to get involved in the #WarOnIran, which puts them at odds with the right wing commentariat, who are so blinded by hatred of #Starmer theyβll support a foreign fascist over their own Prime Minister. #r4today #wato #bbcpm #bbcqt
I went to The Apollo in Shaftesbury Avenue yesterday to see βIβm Sorry, Prime Ministerβ.
At one point Jim Hacker says βOf course Iβm not out of touch. I listen to the Today Programβ. That got a big laugh.
