Classic Guardian take:
Diplomatic editor @patrickwintour describes the illegal 2003 invasion of Iraq as 'a blunder'.
It was no mere 'blunder'. It was the supreme international war crime.
RT @dtmooreeditor
welp, lineker's back on the air. another nail in the tories' coffin. it was a stupid fight to get into: there was never any reward in it, only risk, and it played out about as badly for them as it could possibly have.

Gordon Brown did this
Then he "rescued" PFI so he could appear to balance the books in a way the Tory media would accept. And also make hedge funds even richer.
Some slight intellectual honesty would be too much to hope for from these clowns, I suppose

There is a global race on - and despite all our promise and potential, Britain is falling behind.

This should be a learning moment. The establishment scared us away from a radical Labour government, not because socialism is a threat to our democracy but because they are. The BBC is simply another weapon to ensure the public vote against their self-interest and anyone who trusts its output is an unwitting puppet. https://open.substack.com/pub/councilestatemedia/p/labour-wanted-to-democratise-the?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
@Jo I have a buddy who upgraded to the old firmware that didn't force you to use HP ink only. Actually, a 3d printable printer that took any ink and just worked would be cool

Labour now loudly condemning BBCs decision on Gary Lineker when the gallery of labour front bench losers spent all last week fuelling it. They looked at which way wind was blowing and joined in. Party of polls not people or politics. They stand for nothing

@Peston If the government wants to stop people comparing their policies to 1930s Germany, stop making policies that are comparable to 1930s Germany. Simple.
@zimpenfish I don't remember it at the time, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Speaking personally I would never have even considered doing business with an entity calling itself "Silicon Valley Bank" - I wouldn't have trusted them even a little.

1. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Art. 14).
2. The UN Refugee Convention 1951.
3. The European Convention on Human Rights.

AN UNPLEASANT FREQUENCY
Kathy Burke's new documentary has revived a persistent internet myth and all-too-real comments from Chris Moyles' arrogant and sleazy heyday.
