No because it didn’t happen.

Lady with glasses, "We're talking about lots of things to do with the cost of living but we're just papering over the cracks" "We have to acknowledge that we need back into the European Union" "Lots of our issues, the economic problems we're facing are as a result of Brexit" #BBCQT

Nigel Farage tells The Sun's Harry Cole that Elon Musk offered to give Reform loads of money "if we said certain things" and he refused. "I can't be bought." Two things: 1. This is an allegation of attempted bribery. Very serious. 2. It shows the obvious: donors expect something for their money.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Any comment on this?

Yes, it should.

The US needs Greenland so much for national security that it has closed all but one of its bases there and keeps only 150 soldiers on the island, while Denmark would allow as many US troops as it wants

Soon.

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial. We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/3e3320

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me. It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person. And our far right politicians & pundits are cheering him on, of course. #r4today

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

One has the feeling if Ukraine doesn’t accept Trumps proposal, the US will go to war with them. #standwithukraine

Who could possibly have predicted Boris would be an unsuitable PM during Covid?

Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War 3 years - if you're earning £125k+ 15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

Despite being threatened by the President of the United States, these Senators and Representatives will not be deterred. They will not be silenced. They will not be intimidated. They love this country and believe we are better than what the politics represent!

NEW: The biggest union in the BBC, Bectu, has written to culture secretary Lisa Nandy and BBC chair Samir Shah, demanding the removal of Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board. They say Gibb, a political appointee, is a “direct block to the BBC maintaining its chartered objective of independence”.

"The BBC isn’t perfect – but it’s ours. If we don’t defend it now, we may lose a cornerstone of British democracy"

Jeffrey Epstein, in newly released email, says Trump ‘knew about the girls’

As you might imagine, this is very good. It is also very funny.

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump. Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Trump every time he’s confronted about one of his lies: “Who are you with?” Reporter: Gives name of company. Trump: You’re fake news. You’re terrible. I’m not calling on you anymore! You should be ashamed of yourself! This is why nobody watches you! Then goes back to lying.

Worth remembering…

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

Is this the actions of someone expecting to vacate the place in three years?

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

This.

🔥🔥🔥 Here's Emily Maitlis crucifying Farage for both breaking the UK and stabbing it in the back. #FascistFarage

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

“Tinky Winky is the purple one.”

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet. I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

It’s astonishing. The BBC bulletin last night reported it then had to remind viewers it was essentially BS and should be ignored when what they should have done was not report it in the first place.

Well, no, it’s paracetamol pretty much everywhere.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

He’ll be all over the increased tensions between Trumpton and Camberwick Green.

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.
