BREAKING NEWS! Andy Burnham convenes emergency COBRA meeting in response to the European riots. Just kidding. He’s actually back making Tik Tok videos about trivia. Hard to believe this is our Prime Minister.

The BBC has continued to deny that it has a serious problem with impartiality. But evidence continues to emerge that tells a very different story. Danny Cohen says the corporation’s leadership is burying its head in the sand ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

Pathetic, meaningless address from President Macron to the people of France tonight. The anger here is palpable. I have written what it all means in a column in tomorrow’s Daily Mail. L’agonie de la France is set to continue and Macron is now an irrelevance.
BREAKING: 'How can French people do this to France?' French President Emmanuel Macron has said the country is feeling 'anger and shame' over recent protests in the country. Calling for peace, the president said 'nothing' justifies the riots and damage caused in multiple cities.

Burnham's taxpayer funded loans, to one of the wealthiest families in the world, at interest rates we're not allowed to know, is finally to be scrutinised. It'll be interesting to see what it throws up. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Cooper claims 17m more GP appointments = more referrals to hospital = rise in waiting lists. But the increase in GP appointments is closer to 7m. Does she ever get anything right?
Nothing to see here — just Labour Health Secretary Yvette Cooper in a car-crash interview claiming “17 million more GP appointments a year” while NHS waiting lists hit a 2026 high of 7.37 million. Latest figures show closer to 7–8 million extra GP appointments a year, not 17m. Lists are still rising despite record activity. The “big turnaround” isn’t.

Anyone at the BBC still care to claim this is justified protest for better education? Gosh, but there are some idiot journalists in our national media.

What is happening in France is f; rightening and I am so worried it won't be long before it spreads here, and bumbling Burnham will not be up to controlling it @UKLabour @Conservatives

This is the UK government’s Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer larking around eating Thai snacks while riding a Tuk Tuk around Bangkok. And unfathomably, deciding it was a good idea to post about it on social media.
