Feels like this should be a big story, no?
Russia behind attacks targeting the British Prime Minister.
Take your feelings for Keir Starmer out of this equation and the fact that it doesn't even make the LBC 7am headlines is astonishing.
Wind back a few years and imagine if this had happened to Boris Johnson β our media would be talking about nothing else.
The fixation within the media on promoting Nigel Farage and the obsession with tearing down Keir Starmer has led us into a news vortex that is almost impossible to peer out of.
Sure the social media ban is big news and sure, there are other stories to talk about, but this is, effectively, a state-sponsored assassination attempt on our Prime Minister.
Right? Or am I missing something here?
We have lost all journalistic integrity within our mainstream news broadcasters β see Beth Rigby turning a press conference about social media, into a question about Starmer being ousted yesterday.
Occasionally, I feel like I'm going mad; have we all lost our collective memories of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
By orders of magnitude, the two worst Prime Ministers that UK has ever had to endure, but we are being force-fed the line that Starmer is far worse.
I'm not a Starmer fanboy, despite what the inevitable comments below will say, but I do think he has a level of competence that vastly outstrips the aforementioned Truss/Johnson debacle.
So this story is moved on because it is too Starmer-positive β it might create feelings of sympathy in some β and that cannot be allowed.
What a ludicrous and disgraceful state of reporting we are being subjected to.
