"What if an ambulance needed to get past with a dying person? "

"Most people can't afford go out and protest as they're too busy or poor "

"Lock them up on prison"

Isn't this the sort of bs we're supposed to respond to protests with?

Why are the traditionally left leaning BBC News gunning for Rachel Reeves today?

Rachel Reeves's CV exaggerated time at Bank of England

The BBC has established the Chancellor left the financial institution nine months earlier than she states in her LinkedIn profile.

Any "traditionally left-leaning" tendencies they had were burned on the Brexit bonfire. Their TV news palpably has a right-wing edge, while Kuenssberg would not look out of place on GB News.

Given there are three Labour threads on the go at any one time it's no wonder people have trouble keeping up.

Maybe we'll call this one "the clutching at straws thread" and the one currently titled "The Labour Government" can be renamed "I want great public services at no cost to myself". Snappy eh?

Either way it'll be the same 10 people contributing to both.

Call them what you want, merge them, delete them even. You seem very keen on them though including the equivalent Tory thread, but whatever you say comrade.

Is it left leaning? I thought the point was that it is centrist. Basically the left think the bbc is basically GBeebies and the right think it is Stalin news. Both think it is the opposite of their view which suggests they are doing their job.

I fully expect that in terms of the staff they would be more left leaning because it is a creative industry and that sector will attract more people of that persuasion. It is also not for profit which limits wages for the average punter so again different motivations.

I was at the CML Dinner mentioned in the article and know the chap standing directly behind her in the photo ... a long suffering Man City fan (the bloke - not RR) as opposed to recent glory hunting City fans.

Is it because interest rates and mortgage rates are down and GDP is up

I assume that you are still 100% behind Kemi to come to the rescue after her performance yesterday

Aside from the online jousting above, this is a reminder on why we need to give another government, this one, a crack at the NHS sh1tshow. From 1:21:30 just one example.

Almost certainly we need to pay more in taxes, or better still the German insurance system.

And we hope and expect that those responsible have been arrested (although no mention of arrests in the article) and will get similar sentences to the Just Stop Oil protesters.

The lack of arrests of any farmers blocking roads, compared to the rounding-up of environmental protesters, must be a clear example of the 'two-tier policing' the Tories moan about!

Funny how hard-up farmers can keep taking time of work to protest in their shiny new tractors - or tanks.

f*** 'em.

The reason for not locking up farmers for their protests is because they are protesting on routes previously agreed with police and in accordance with the law. By and large, they don't arrest people who are acting within the law but they do arrest people who are breaking the law. Is that what you mean by "two tier policing"?

So they are not breaking the law but carrying out a peaceful protest with the required cooperation of the Police.

Oh and they produce our food

Yeah, f**k em

The police interpret the law, and clearly interpret it much more strictly and stringently when the people blocking roads are 'Leftie' environmentalists, rather than Tory farmers.

As well as exemplifying two-tier policing, it also suggests political bias by the police - they'll arrest environmental protestors, but actually help farmers plan their protests.

The police are supposed to be politically impartial and enforce laws equally on everyone, but they evidently favour and protect some people more than others.
