#BBCLauraK pushes #Tory Holingrake as to whether he would collaborate with #Reform to "get things done" when the ##localelections are finished

He does not say no

She does not ask him about EDI, mass deportation, selling off the NHS records, public hangings, closure of parks and swimming pools, fascist torch light parades, the end of the welfare state, the music of Boyzone to be banned etc etc

Tory Lord Houchan claims on today's #BBCLauraK that #NHS waiting times have come down because the strikes have ended

That is untrue

By and large, the strikes had marginal effect. It was the substantial investment by the current Labour government that reduced the numbers.

Andy Burnham is sitting there like a sack of potatoes, allowing these shibbolleths to fall

#Badenoch is crowing the wonderful Tttptpttt deal or whatever it's called. ##BBCLauraK reminds her it will only add 0.8% over 10 years to the economy

She rather naively thinks we can pick up a trade deal that we started in 2020 and carry on where we left off

She is seriously out of her depth 🙄

Today, #BBCLauraK asked Darren Jones if globalisation and, therefore, the time of cheap goods was over

He replied, "[Yes] and that is why we are investing in our domestic industries."

I do not recall many factories round my way churning out TVs, laptops, and mobiles

What do we make in the UK? Scotch Whisky and Eccles Cakes

'There has been no explanation as to how #Pip has been empowering support for those people with disabilities," said Robert Buckland on today's #BBCLauraK

Well, it has brought me a wheelchair, warm clothing, and fuel payment

#ChrisPhilp says on #BBCLauraK when talking about the ECHR, "What does the right to a family life mean. It means whatever the judge believes it means"

But the same is true for EVERY piece of legislation. Judges interpret the law as best as they understand it

#Badenoch essentially argues on #BBCLauraK that multiculturalism has failed. Laura pulls her up with the fact that the #Southport murderer came from a devout Christian household.

Wily Badenoch then pivots to the grooming gangs

Bizarrely, she then says, "We always seem to fall back on wanting more evidence .... [when] we do need more anecdotes to shift the dial"

Do facts matter. I think they do.

As @Pamela1960 pointed out, 88% of csa is committed by white people.

#BBCLauraK asks #Frogface if it is acceptable to be called a "rape genocide supporter, " as #Musk said about Starmer

#Frogface says he would sooner live in a society where free speech gives liberty to offence.

But this is not the point. Musk lied, and he did that for his own twisted vendetta

Nb, how he once claimed some parts of England's city centres are "No go areas" for the police.
