In general is there any group in the UK with a poorer grasp of politics than political journalists? I'm embarrassed for them every day.
A lovely example
There is a particular genre of idiocy in the media where the story they've been running all day turns out to not really be true so they spin it as a U-turn by the person involved
I don't even know where to start with this jumbled, patronising, made up rubbish

Thread: I've recently realised that joining the Labour party has pacified me. I have often set issues aside to focus on short term political battles. The Labour party has ducked too many issues. I think it's wrong. I'm not going to do it any more.
Labour has bottled it on economic policy. The idea that a government with it's own currency has to 'balance the books' is infantile Thatcherite nonsense. Labour should be arguing for grown up economic policies.
Labour has bottled it on immigration. Immigration and immigrants are an overwhelmingly positive force in British society and we should proclaim it proudly.

Thread: I don't know a lot about running a political party but I do know a bit about complaints handling. Here are some thoughts on how our procedures should work. Firstly I think @JennieGenSec has made a great start and much of this might be being set up already but here goes..
All complaints should be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. All accusations should be treated as good faith. Anyone accused should be considered innocent until proven guilty. These aren't contradictory.
Suspension should not be used as a punishment. It should be used to remove someone from any position where their work might be affected if the accusation is found to be true or for safeguarding etc. Punishment should be reserved for after an investigation if wrong doing is found.

Thread: I'm an IT manager in a GP surgery. I've been involved in multiple borough wide IT projects across London. I've worked in Primary care for a decade.This is absolutely the worst idea I've heard in a long time. It sounds like nothing more than more plundering the NHS
GPs don't have outdated or frustrating technology. We don’t need new IT systems. We need existing systems to be better integrated with other healthcare provider systems. The NHS has been working on this for a decade and we’re almost there.
Every time a new IT package is introduced it has be run smoothly with dozens of other packages across GP practices, Hospitals, Pharmacies, District Nurses, Care homes and others. If it doesn’t it can cause all sorts of problems for patient care.

A new variation of the twitter poll. This #genre specimen makes the staggering ignorance prevalent in the #Brexit debate painfully obvious.

The "screengrab of something inanely stupid" is becoming a crucial #Brexit debate #genre. Possibly (see above) because "inanely stupid" has become a prevalent Brexit position.

The "cunning plan". A favorite #genre

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
