PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

"afaict he openly responded himself to the original mirror tweet, so in this particular case less doxxing, more gutter press ascribing deliberately problematising “man with sick kid also a labour activist.”"

Right, don't know the exact timeline but I first saw Gu*do on it.

i was gonna make a joke about his name being Omar but jesus do NOT read the comments

I don’t like her insinuation that he’s disqualified from commenting because he worked for Emily Thornberry ten years ago. LK’s rapport with BJ is also a lil bit barf-in-my-mouth, actually- what’s up with the mateyness?

Has he had a single successful walkabout yet? If the campaign is like this it's going to be amazing

Why has no-one milkshaked him yet, what is wrong with this country?

xp would it be too much to hope that the worst comments are ppl making annoying the wire jokes

Come at the king you best not miss

LK’s rapport with BJ is also a lil bit barf-in-my-mouth, actually- what’s up with the mateyness?

i am 100% convinced they have fucked

great that's another night i won't sleep

Sounds like a pub conversation about Ally McCoist/Hazel Irvine ca. 2000.

there is something mantid about Kuenssberg but clearly not all situations

I don’t like Laura K full stop. It’s not like that long since she was feigning ignorance over Tory MPs calling themselves the grand wizards, completely unshocking she’d go for some random member of the public the day a fucking cabinet member admitted “they didn’t mean to” flout the Saudi Arabia arms ban. No real injustice will ever be tackled while these bootlickers and morons insist on going after members of the public and not the people in charge.

great that's another night i won't sleep

too aroused for slumber, eh

why i oughta

"I am the one who can make the bhaji disappear..."

My recent NHS experiences have been pretty good all in all (a few tests for a long-term minor issue, a few reschedules of short stay surgery which couldn't really be helped, 8 hours for the actual day surgery which all went fine, then due to post-op infection (v hard to avoid for the treatment required) a surprisingly and reassuringly quick check-up at a day centre after calling 111 and then a 4 hour wait in A&E for non-urgent care on a late Summer Saturday night in London which you'd expect really) and all without one crabby dismissive attendee at any point but then I do live 20 mins from a gigantic teaching hospital in south London. Communication could've been better at some points in the process but nothing intolerable.

Not to detract from the legit criticisms of others but got to give the credit where due.

This one is worse than the last one I posted, responding to a tweet by the BBC. She is very eager to point out he is a labour activist.

Turns out the man who challenged the PM is also a Labour activist

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) September 18, 2019

pretty good labour activism imo

congrats laura, you've managed a new low

Shocked that the PM ran into an activist of Europe’s largest party (by membership). The biggest grassroots group in the country and it matters that BJ met one of them at a NHS hospital?

She’s acting like she discovered this rather than reading it on some dickhead’s Guido RT.

Yeah this is really bad from LK. "I'm not saying, and I'm just saying, but labour activist nudge nudge wink wink eh lads"

That's a big fuck-up, it's basically inviting a pile-on of a dude who's child in hospital. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some disciplinary action for that.

The PM lying to a citizen about there being no press there *right in front of the cameras* should be the story there.

Just want to point out this follows a story in the Mail yesterday where they linked a video of some gammon abusing a Labour campaigner that came to their door, because fuck knows the dog whistles weren’t going hard enough.

Nothing will happen to Laura K, she’s still in a job after misrepresenting Corbyn’s views on shoot to kill and having a complaint upheld against her.

Well done for encouraging the hounding of a man with a sick newborn who is probably already experiencing more stress and worry than we can imagine and likely hasn’t slept for a week. You’re right, his decision to support a party he thinks will care for people better is damning

plot twist as aditya reveals that boris is actually the father of omar salem's daughter

Just to clarify: the man who went to Whipps Cross hospital to make a political point and grandstand for cameras was not the father of a sick little girl being treated there.
It was the Prime Minister.

— Aditya Chakrabortty (@chakrabortty) September 18, 2019

Yah nothing will happen to lk, consequences are for proles.

FS at the mcshitter lauding the paras & posh af LK hounding a labour activist

just heard with zero irony a discussion on R4 about political impartiality and so on in broadcasting, and the two guest interviewees were the ex torygraph writer + pal of boris/nigel + current editor of the Today program and some arsehole from LBC.

Is Boris in danger of being undermined by these protesters, ask Evan Davies on PM.

and the leading headline is Corbyn's refusal to explicitly back remain in a 2nd ref. love these guys.

Imagine being a Labour voter or potential one and not knowing which way you'd vote in a 2nd ref. I can't.

Not that hard to imagine tbf, just statistically insignificant.

The piss diamonds are piling in on Laura K, she’s getting ratioed Lilico-style.

(Any Americans care to translate that?)

turns out the man who stood in front of the tank is a Beijing Students Autonomous Federation activist

— Laura Kuenssberg 1989 (@iammightor) September 18, 2019

I say to this court, don’t let this case be your Dred Scott moment.

jfc

pmsl some ratio on that baroness kuenssberg tweet

Just had a gander on FB and the usual melt suspects who go mad when Owen Jones argues with a civilian on Twitter because it’s a pile on are all ‘pfft, nothing to see here’

Most people will just nod along with the bit about the hospital being understaffed and not care at all about the guy's political affiliations.

First the lefty neighbours shopping him to the police, now some Corbynista shouts at him in a hospital, nobody knows the trouble Boris has seen.

xp I think most people who’ve been in the unfortunate situation where no one can tend to their sick child will get it.

I had no idea Labour activists have children. Thanks.

— Michael Rosen (@MichaelRosenYes) September 18, 2019

Quelle surprise. People will be shocked. You couldn’t tell from my @Twitter profile. My Labour values are WHY I back proper support for the NHS. I am not ashamed of them. https://t.co/DZMqOprMML

— Omar Salem (@OmarSalem) September 18, 2019

maybe boris should've just run away like he did yesterday.

So I rang 03700 100 222.
Me: I wish to make a complaint about a tweet from a BBC political journalist.
Person: Laura Kuenssberg?
Me: Yep. How did you know?
Person: You're not the first.
Me: And I won't be the last.

Wow

Here, for instance, we see a Telegraph columnist spreading the nonsense conspiracy theory that he was micced up (by who? Why?) and retweeting somebody actually trying to suggest that the man's daughter doesn't exist at all. Very cool and normal stuff from the press here. pic.twitter.com/Wn4aT7DF7f

Long night for the BBC news press team twitter account

one of my fave quotes from a fawning transparent tory bbc hack recently was from Nick Robinson where he said (talking about their impartial quality journalism) "it's our job to turn the light on, but if you (the listener/viewer) don't take notice.."

xxp pretty sure I saw someone point out the guy she was retweeting was an obvious fash

yeah i’ve got no expectation that she’ll suffer any consequences from reporting a story about the pm nakedly lying to the father of a sick seven-day-old girl about the presence of the media right in front of the media as ‘he’s a labour activist and here is his twitter’ but i like to imagine it’ll be at least a minor inconvenience

I don't think there was malicious intent either, but whether it was malicious or not is beside the point.

it’s just plain terrible reporting
