And now, a party political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative party.

It's probably just me but I am sick to the back teeth of these 'all-day' themed days on @bbc6music.bsky.social. If I wanted an 'all-day carnival, which it is today, I'd just fucking go to one.

Vote Binface!

SKY NEWS: “Trump says you’re a gift to the Republican Party.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: “I’m a gift to the state of Michigan, God-willing.” SKY NEWS: “He says you’re full of shit.” ABDUL: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.” 🔥 🔥 👀

Calling Carol Vorderman. Clacton needs you.

This pathetic faux-innocent “but it was before he was an MP”, when said by actual MPs, who should know the rules, is breathtaking. Any gift in the previous 12 months is potentially declarable. Stds commissioner can take into account Farage’s behaviour during the inquiry. 🧐

Navarro should have his fat ass sued for saying this shit.

One of the comrades writes … He hates me, a lifelong Labour member, more than he hates an actual fascist.

This. Well said, @riotgrandma.bsky.social

I thought this was on Point….

And now we go live to Albania. Fuck you, Kushner and Trump.

@nivenj1.bsky.social Hi John, I've just started O Brother. My God (not that there is a god, but you know what I mean) you can't half write. My only regret is I didn't discover your writing until now. Still, never too late. That's it, really. All the best, Rick

Toynbee literally says that "honesty doesn't pay' in politics and that Burnham must engage in gesture politics. "Impressions are everything." There we have it. Having a decent, honest man, who doesn't do gesture politics, in 10 Downing Steet isn't enough. It is for me, but what do I know?

Andy Burnham has said he'd like to be in number 10 by September like it's a foregone conclusion. I wonder if my boss would step aside with no fuss for me to take their job, even though they're doing it rather well, as easy as that?

If you thought Welsh football wasn't in a big enough mess, they've got their own 'band' now who seem to be every bit as awful as the wretched England version.

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

Once again, a Grauniad hack thinks it's just a bit of a laugh. To the millions who literally need a Labour government to sort the mess left behind by 14 years of Tory rot, and to prevent the fascist Farage getting into number 10, it's anything but.

More sneering.

Guardian hack responds to my view that her paper wants Labour to fail. Is it any wonder so many of us are abandoning it?

Apologies for sounding like a broken record, but today the BBC and Sky have plumbed new depths in their coverage of Keir Starmer. Mason and Rigby have both long abandoned actual journalism. Today was all about driving the anti-Starmer agenda, not reporting on it. I totally despair.

While Labour sets about saving British Steel by nationalising it, remember Reform was linked to the company that tried to bankrupt it.

Oh yes.

It's all distraction.

Privately educated, ex Oxford Uni (nearly all of them at the Grauniad are ex Oxford) hack Marina Hyde joining its endless and increasingly vindictive war against Keir Starmer. It's well beyond a joke now - there are none in Hyde's piece - and they won't be getting my £180 annual subs this year.

Thank Christ for @bylinetimes.bsky.social.

Let's go across to Starmer critic Jon Sopel of the News Agents to find out why he thinks Mandelson is such a terrible appointment as UK ambassador. Oh, wait a minute ...

Even the Byline Times has gone down the GB News, Mail, BBC route now. This is beyond a joke.

Iain Duncan Smith back in the news again, attacking "benefits Britain". There's another reason why he is known as the bogey man of British politics.

The Mail should be forced to resign.

And now we go live (almost) to the Mail ...

I like Prince but fuck me @bbc6music.bsky.social's 12 hour 'Prince Forever' schedule today is going to have me reaching for the off button very soon. One reason I love 6 is the great variety of music they play, except on these wretched theme days.

Arsenal certain to win the Premier League. Why? Because Danny Murphy said Man Citeh will.

Tice has to resign. The likes of Mason, Kuenssberg, Peston, Rigby and Coates will be all over him like a rash. Won't they?

BBC deliberately drip-dripping this story every day to make the government look worse. Doubtless, a puff interview with the Fagash Fuhrer to follow.

@bbc6music.bsky.social leading the news about the story of how some lawyers are allegedly getting asylum seekers to lie about their sexuality in order to stat in the UK and who does the BBC interview? They fucking love him.

Who knew that George Robertson, who is demanding vast increases in UK defence spending, happens to work for ... er ... defence lobbyists who stand to benefit from vast increases in UK defence spending? Oddly, @bbcnews.bsky.social has failed to point this out on any of their news bulletins today.

Always the big news in @theguardian.com. Cornichon shortage: Starmer to blame?

Come on, Polly: let's call it what it is. Hard right is another way of saying fascism. Maybe if her paper stopped attacking Labour - and never forget she wants Starmer out - it would help?

It looks like George Robertson has joined Reform UK Ltd if this absolute bollocks - look at his comments on welfare - is anything to go by. No surprise to see it in @theguardian.com which resumes its anti-Starmer campaign in earnest.

A typical puff piece about a far right politician from Rigby, as she saves the real vitriol for Starmer. Pathetic, weak journalism.

As good as anything you will read on Dementia Donny as he tries to destroy the world.

Magic Grandpa's genius at work again.

I’m thinking that any Gasheads who liked Joey Barton will be very happy with the appointment of Steve Evans. With the budget he will have demanded off AlSaeed, they’ll piss League 2 next year.

If you loved Joey Barton, it's worth turning up early in BS7 tomorrow.

Message to the controller of @bbc6music.bsky.social: today it's 1991 all day. Why? If I want non-stop oldies, it's already a crowded field. Please stop these theme days and leave this sort of thing to the experts on the commercial stations. Yours, Pissed off.

And now we go live to the Daily Mail, which has been slaughtering Keir Starmer and the Labour government for weeks for not following Dementia Don into his insane war on Iran.

At least this report doesn't say "former Bristol Rovers manager ... " but he is, thanks to the embarrassing Jordanian man baby Wael al Qadi, the ex Rovers owner, who, disgracefully, employed him.

Beyond belief that @theguardian.com seems to treat the unhinged, dementia-ridden, malignant narcissist Donald Trump as if his behaviour is normal.
