Agreed. Labour stops out Reforming Reform & its poll numbers rise straight away! The Tories have created some clear blue water between themselves & Reform & their meagre poll numbers are rising. It’s not rocket science! Racism, hatred and division are not and never were “legitimate concerns”

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

How do we get our News Media to mention this Ian? Maybe if @faisalislam.bsky.social mentioned the economic damage low immigration is having on “headroom” next time he’s discussing the budget on the BBC, that wud be a start? Frankly, I’m not optimistic such a comment would get thru BBC editing!

substack.com/@iandunt/not... Excellent from Dunty. The national discourse on this is madness, it’s like someone is saying in a Fawlty Towers sort of way, “don’t mention the benefits of immigration, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it” 🙀

And you don’t act in the best interests of the country by putting ruinous far right ideology into policy/law… See Brexit. See immigration. Both epic disasters doing profound, long-term damage in every way it’s possible to damage a country and take risks with its future.

Both audience members got it completely right 👏 We can't rely on Trump's America, and for the sake of our own security, we must rejoin the EU 🚨

I frequently observe that AI companies engage in the “strip mining of our souls” through their unauthorized capture of our creative expressions & personal information to build their humanity-enfeebling products. Also important to recall they also engage in more typical forms of strip mining.

What a disgrace to have a traitorous U.S. president who blames democratic Ukraine for his problems while Ukraine is engaged in a life-and-death struggle for its sovereignty against the murderous invasion of Putin’s Russia. And worse, he is strengthening the enemy’s position.

In this undercover footage, Nigel Farage's righthand man, Dan Jukes, appears to suggest that corruption, with Farage, is "priced in". Like Trump, he uses politics to enrich himself. Don't let anyone claim they were not warned. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate
