Labour have no strong pool of candidates

Starmer's alliance with the party’s anti-Corbyn faction was a shotgun marriage that totally lacked vision. Now Labour is paying the price, argues Neal Lawson

A party enriched with incompetence
Has Wes Streathing ever had a job?
He worked for Progress, a Labour Party-related organisation, for a year before working in the public sector. In 2010, he was elected to the Redbridge London Borough Council for the Labour Party and became Deputy Leader of the council in May 2014. These are the calibre of people making major NHS restructuring without any knowledge or clue of how this service works. Where are the frontline doctors and nurses? A first world country has a Health Secretary with no background in health and social care.

Patricia Marquis of the Royal College of Nursing warned the redundancies could backfire.

"Front-line services need more investment, but to do this off the backs of making thousands of experts redundant is a false economy.

"Expert registered nurses working across NHS England and ICBs don't just run vital public health programmes and oversee care programmes for the vulnerable – they connect the NHS and social care services with one another.

"To imply these are administrators shows a complete lack of understanding of their roles and how they contribute to patient care."

The compromise deal would allow the NHS to overspend this year.

Wes Steathing used true more than once in a sentence. When a Labour minister uses true or truth, we know they are actually lying. They have lied 🤥 to the public since their election

Allies of Keir Starmer have said he will fight any challenge to his leadership

How is this an “error of judgement”?

What really happened?

A highly critical letter, written by a former external adviser to the BBC board, Michael Prescott, said that a documentary called “Trump: A Second Chance?,” broadcast before the presidential election last year, at one point spliced together footage from comments that Mr. Trump made about 50 minutes apart. In his speech on Jan. 6 to supporters in Washington as Congress was certifying the results that showed Joseph R. Biden Jr. had won the election, Mr. Trump said, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.”

But the documentary, produced as part of the BBC’s long-running Panorama series, cut that together with a previous sentence in which the president said, “I’ll be there with you,” and with a much later quote from his speech. The edited version suggested that he had said: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol … and I’ll be there with you … and we fight. We fight like hell.”

Two top executives quit after a memo by a former adviser said that the broadcaster had misleadingly edited a speech by President Trump.

Cheers to the most trusted and most impartial service in the world🙄

Then he further contradicts himself ….

“If Putin, Trump and Netanyahu are denouncing the BBC, it must be doing something right.’

Former BBC journalist Jonathan Dimbleby doesn’t hold back in defending the broadcaster.

If the BBC is impartial then their reporting must be impartial whether they consider those politicians enemies or friends😑 If the BBC has done nothing wrong, why the resignations by top management?

Racist, Bias and Cancel culture. Should journalism not uphold fairness, public accountability, impartiality, be accurate and fact-based and a vessel that speaks the truth to the public? It’s indeed a sad week for journalism but we have long given up that they tell the truth.

🚨BREAKING!Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC, following criticism over how a speech the US president made was edited and used in a Panorama documentary.
His legal team has given the BBC a deadline of 14/11/2025 to make a "full and fair retraction" of the documentary - or face being sued for $1bn (£760m).

A leaked internal BBC memo said the show had misled viewers by splicing two parts of Trump's 6 January 2021 speech together, making it appear as though he was explicitly urging people to attack the US Capitol after his election defeat.

The BBC's outgoing news CEO Deborah Turness insisted the corporation was not "institutionally biased", after her resignation alongside director general Tim Davie. Their resignations came on Sunday after mounting pressure following the publication last week by the Telegraph of a memo written by Michael Prescott, a former independent external adviser to the broadcaster's editorial standards committee.

The memo accuses the BBC of issues within its Gaza coverage, particularly by BBC Arabic, anti-Trump and anti-Israel bias and one-sided transgender reporting - among other "troubling matters".
It also highlights the Panorama edit, which was first broadcast in October 2024.

On Monday, BBC chair Samir Shah accepted an "error of judgement" had been made on the documentary and that the edited speech gave the impression of a "direct call for action" - and said the BBC would like to apologise for it.

But responding to a letter from the Culture Media and Sport Committee, he said it was "simply not true" the memo had uncovered issues the BBC had "sought to bury" - nor was it correct to suggest the BBC had done nothing to tackle concerns raised in the memo.

Trump's letter, which the BBC received on Sunday, calls for an apology and for the corporation to "appropriately compensate" the president. It accuses the BBC of making "false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements" about him. Trump's attorney Alejandro Brito also accused the BBC of defamation under Florida law.
