I thought Truss might be promoting UK cheese as well, we are producing more varieties of cheese than the French y'know (although going into the local Co-op doesn't show much evidence of this)

Ugh this Humphrys send off is nauseating

oh is he going? i heard two minutes of him pal-ing it up with Tony Hall and thought this was their oblique spin on l'affaire Kuenssberg

Today's gonna be at least 1000 percent less kill-rage inducing from now on then

i cant quite figure out if im surprised or not at that bbcpr statement, or if im surprised that thats as far as this is going to go

can’t believe the PM’s office are actually going w “I’m not mad I’m glad actually” as their line

also cant figure out if im becoming a conspiracy theorist by wondering why kuenssberg isnt currently trending on uk Twitter despite clearly having the numbers to be #1 by a distance

She’s not showing on my trending either but if you type in Laura it autofills her name and says she’s trending ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Her first name is more distinctive tbf

The fucking state of this

One thing to understand about the attack on @bbclaurak. It is not a "twitter storm". It is a deliberate, planned communications strategy. It's about scaring journalists - individually and at a corporate level - into thinking twice about how they report on Labour. And it works.

Iirc something similar happened on 'cameron fucked a pig's head' day, where nobody was talking about anything else online, but there wasn't a peep of it under 'trending'

Xp That'll be why all Labour's centrist melt sleeper agent's have suddenly activated

can’t believe the PM’s office are actually going w “I’m not mad I’m glad actually” as their line

I would have thought that's exactly the Boris, Man of the People line they'd take.

Hodges is wrong as usual, but wrong in the way that makes you wish he was right.

yep gyac same, i thought it strange is all

GCHQ have editorial control of twitter now as well I see

So harassing journalists is bad but putting fathers with seven-day-old hospitalised children in the way of harassment is acceptable? Just checking we've got the rules straight.

Don't think Brits realise just how much of a fucking shithole their media is. God knows the Irish press has a million problems but the UK papers are now, en masse, scoring points against an anguished father of a hospitalised baby.

Just to be clear: this doesn't happen elsewhere. https://t.co/gJpB9adJs8

thread undoubtedly already aware of our unofficial uk correspondent but anyway

I bet they've got a bunker in Bletchley Park just dedicated to gaming social media for the tory establishment, cunts.

God knows the Irish press has a million problems but the UK papers are now, en masse, scoring points against an anguished father of a hospitalised baby. a bitch aint one

but

fucked that right up

"a bitch aint one, but"

flawless irish idiom tbh

so

Dan Hodges is such a disingenuous, insincere cunt. A huge portion of the people angry about this aren’t even Labour voters or supporters. Yet somehow this is “planned”. Ok lad.

I have to go, but please autofill one of the following responses as what I would have said to anything further that is posted about the press being a gang of bootlickers itt today:

- fash adjacent cunts
- moronic cunts
- dangerous cunts

Increasingly the job of 'journalism'seems not to ve speaking truth to power but obliterating anybody who attempts to do that, and that, my friends, is terrifying.

Bunch of yellow melts crowing on social media today because they think Tonty Blair might be mulling over becoming a Lib Dem (I’m thinking specifically of Mr. Helen Lewis whose every tweet as Guardian tech editor is about bad days for Labour).

Blair finally joining the team he belongs in would be good not bad imo

looking forward to QT, when laura k will doubtless be exposing and sharing the personal details of every conservative party activist who asks a question

Dad coming out in support of LauraK

Mr Helen Lewis

I hate myself for knowing who this is

tony blair joining the LDs would be unequivocally good btw

no way blair is joining lib dems, for all his many faults he isn't that particular strain of idiot, surely

Helen Lewis apparently went to the convent school round the corner from my catholic comprehensive secondary school, not surprising tbh, she seems the sort

Heard from friends in her age/education cohort that she bullied another undergraduate so hard on a college forum that they left Oxford. I wonder how that person feels, seeing her hired by media orgs to write about cyberbullying?

if they were going to do a live action production of spoilt bastard from viz, Helen has the perfect face for that role.

I was hoping that Suzy would have a story about Helen Lewis.

And she does!

Any more?

I agree actually that she can be a bully, in writing or online.

I think she looks like a mash-up of princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and disliked her years before I found out she was a TERF.

it’s funny how much quitting twitter insulates from having to read about lots of nonsense - assume the labour students thing has been big on there this week (? may be wrong). saw the story on the guardian front page and seems like such insider baseball fraff

it’s funny how much quitting twitter insulates from having to read about lots of nonsense

I've never had a Twitter account and have but the foggiest idea of what's going on.

twitter may be bad but if you don't follow morons its p good and certainly better than reading the guardian, whose reporting of the labour students biz is extremely bad.

I mainly just follow sound archivists and historians and mute lots of words, which sort of works

also blocking any accounts you don't want to see, piers morgan, etc.

actual incredible run of posts itt u love to see it

just emphasises how little cut through to real life there is for many twitter brouhahas - vast majority of ppl not on twitter. yesterday they will have seen the PM get a doing about NHS underfunding not fact the dad was a labour activist

p good as a news source, I mean. the ability to follow chat from all sorts of ppl from all over the world is p incredible, so much stuff that I would never hear about through UK media

@bbclaurak is doing her job without fear or favour, which is a vital part of democracy.

I don’t think “Labour activist cares about NHS” is a huge scoop though... https://t.co/GiSeSmzZ7m
