It’s true: Vox Political will be taking a short break while Yr Obdt Srvt travels to London for the second round in the libel case against me, brought by Rachel Riley.

I’m hoping there will be a bit of media coverage, so you’ll probably find out the result before I have a chance to get back and tell you.

For me, this is an important case – not because a ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ TV content provider is trying to bankrupt me but because this case is about a person of huge wealth and influence using that position to intimidate a child, making it possible for her to be exposed to death threats – and then trying to use the legal system to stifle criticism of what she has done.

If I lose this, I fear it will discourage others from standing up to people like that.

And that is unacceptable.

It also means I won’t be back until after people go to the ballot boxes in the general election.

So allow me to beg you, right now…

… to “rise like lions”…

… and vote Labour.

Via Skwawkbox:

Saturday night’s edition of the BBC’s nightly review of the following day’s newspapers featured an almost unheard-of event – a frank, unfiltered admission of Jeremy Corbyn’s massive popularity with the public.

Even more astonishingly, it also included the confession that Corbyn is ‘prime ministerial’.

So great is Corbyn’s popularity, according to the political editor Nigel Nelson, that “wherever he turns up” he is greeted like a “rock star” – and his personal qualities are so great that he is both prime ministerial [in public] and the same in private.

Corbyn’s phenomenal energy, stamina and work-rate were also covered – and as if that weren’t enough, the strength of Labour’s social care policies versus the Tories’ complete absence of any was also included.

The BBC presenter had asked “Very quickly, what’s he like engaging with the public” – leading to an instant response: “Well the public love him.”

From Skwawkbox:

NHS doctor David Wrigley has posted an image that heart-breakingly depicts the impact of almost a decade of Tory policies and underfunding on our National Health Service.

The image shows a young boy, Jack Williment-Barr, ill with suspected pneumonia – and lying on the floor of Leeds Infirmary for four hours last week, after its under-resourced Accident and Emergency department couldn’t cope and the hospital had nowhere else to put him.

Jack waited more than double the ‘four-hour target’ for treatment – and did not receive a bed until thirteen and a half hours later. Happily, he is now doing well and was discharged from hospital.

NHS performance has reached all-time low after all-time low under the Tories.
