She is very good by simply not letting it go and moving onto something else.
'Do you think it's racist'
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was questioned on #BBCBreakfast after his former senior aide Raheem Kassam called Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch as a 'Nigerian scammer'

He says that like it’s something we should be grateful for.

He probably will spend so long on the toilet these days the shit house comparison probably just springs to his mind such as it is quite naturally now.
One of our problems is that too many people think Britain is on the brink of disaster and things have never been worse, a narrative which people like this guy promote.
In his latest column, PopCon Director, @MarkJLittlewood, writes that not enough people are aware of the perilous state that Britain is in. "It’s one minute to midnight and we seem to believe we can treat early stage cancer with Lemsip." popularconservatism.com/mark…
Oh no: people, we’ve lost Sting.
My Jerry Lewis story made me question the BBC for the rest of my career.
As a student, I did work experience on a show investigating dodgy hypnotists. I travelled with two female BBC producers to Blackpool to interview a victim (you don’t want to know).
At the hotel, a man was walking out as I walked in. We both held the door and stared at each other.
“After you,” I said.
“No, after you, young man”, he replied.
I smiled, thanked him, and we passed.
I turned to the producers: “Do you know who that was?”
“Nope,” one said, in a tone suggesting I shouldn’t be making eye contact, let alone talking.
“That was Jerry Lewis.”
They stared. “Who?”
“Jerry Lewis. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis?”
More staring. “Never heard of him.”
“You’ve never heard of Jerry Lewis?” Internally, I was furious. Externally, I was still trying to get a job in TV.
“Is he someone we’re interviewing?” one asked.
“No.”
“Then I’m not interested,” she snapped. “Put the gear over there.”
What struck me wasn’t Jerry Lewis being in Blackpool (I found out later that he was filming Funny Bones). It was that these two women were producers with almost no knowledge of entertainment history, TV or film. I know this because I spent the rest of the week asking them very easy questions they couldn't or wouldn't answer. Yet they’re the people who decide what YOU should watch and what YOU’LL find interesting.
After 25 years of being stuck in tiny edit suites with people like this (and honestly, it’s the norm), I could write a book about idiotic TV decision-makers who think they’re the smartest in the room and make choices based on what they assume YOUR intelligence level is.

‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged.’
Simon Heffer gives zero stars to a ‘preposterous’ rant by a crank conspiracy theorist who for a few days was once PM, @trussliz. telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi…
In a metaphor @Nigel_Farage might appreciate, this is like fighting the second world war with trenches.
Labour needs this Conservative recovery to continue - but not too much… A divided right led by the Tories was always required if the party was to win reelection.
Most of us would’ve been better off if she had spent more time chatting with Terry and less screwing up the country.
Before access was shut down I saw a wonderful supposed documentary Russia Today which claimed Russia was not an imperial power, but everybody else in Europe was. 🤔
Maybe so, but the response of some of the anti-transgender lobby has been equally insane.
