    This is the actual one...and perhaps worth noting he got at least the first one wrong! Although I suppose that an elephant and a rhino (or tiger) do have something in common: a thick skin. Not something that he himself possesses.... <laugh>

    Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin doesn’t like the over representation of black and Asian people in TV adverts.
    I’m not sure which adverts she’s watching because the ones I see are dominated by young, white, working class or lower middle class females.
    This is not surprising as they are the demographic most targeted by ads and the group most likely to be influenced by them.
    They promote everything from cleaning products to chocolate, make up, perfumes, clothes, alcohol. The list is endless. I’ve sat through a whole ad break and heard only overexcited, shrill, high- pitched, young, almost certainly white female voices gushing endlessly about some mundane, everyday product. OMG!
    I mean, like, really- what is Pochin watching? I soooo don’t get where she’s coming from.

    Of course the BBC coverage of Hurricane Melissa prioritised asking the first white people they could find in Jamaica what things were like...

    Really? I thought it is crystal clear?
    A. She's an undiluted racist
    B. She's being used by Reform as a public opinion 'canary': testing the waters to see just how extreme their public policy stance can go.

    The fact she spouted this the same week concrete cultivator Mike Graham got the boot from the same channel for accidentally being racist on main shows she didn't think it through

    I don't think an awful lot of thinking goes on between those ears. That's why she's such a useful idiot for Farage.

    This is a long watch and some of the detail about UK spy plane missions over Gaza providing live info to Israel is well known. But there are a few other details in this summary account that are new, at least to me, including strong suggestion of SAS deployments in the area.

    I watched this yesterday. They're so ****ing childish.
    Nice to see a journalist actually asking questions when they talk utter ****e, though.
    Just variations of "what was inaccurate?" until she can't answer.

    It also demonstrates, once again, conservatives do not understand that screengrab exists

    Which is likely why she used Signal, as that deletes all messages after a few hours - and also why it never occurred to her to say this was off the record

    "All of that was off the record."
    "That's not how that works. At all."
