Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

But knockbacks largely of their own making and trying to get away with personal gain.

Nick Clegg is a coward and cannot face up to the responsibility of being involved in Facebook which has ruined lives. He will never be clean again especially if he can’t face up to his part in it.

Sign the open letter: Women against the far right The far right is using women's safety as a weapon to spread racism and division. They are not defenders of women—they exploit violence against women and children to push hate. Together we can stand wi...

It gave Russia a showcase as a world leader which is what they wanted. I imagine some things we won’t fold out into maybe trade starts creeping in

Trump gives assurances to Europeans over talks with Putin on Ukraine US president indicates before Alaska summit he will not make territorial concessions without Kyiv’s involvement

Does anyone believe that Trump won’t roll over in his meeting with Putin. This is tragic.

It could be a lot more than that - this is what he thinks is the good spin.

Putin must agree Ukraine ceasefire in 10 or 12 days, says Trump

Or 20 or 100 days, or never.

Like elections.

Brexiters haven't changed- but the country has. At least, that's the Starmer gamble.

Listening to Brexiters is to see a group of people who haven't changed as the world/country around them has.That's Starmer's gamble. Then as now, they continue not to reckon with a simple truth: we still need the EU more than they need us.

BBC News, "Russian spies attended Brexit event in Parliament in 2016.

Will the government finally release the unredacted Russia Report?

Without Russian interference, especially its promotion of Farage on Russian TV, there would have been no Brexit.

The problem with the "tax the rich" fallacy is that it's another way of avoiding actually solving the problem properly.

There would be a LOT more tax coming in if the economy were stronger.

Brexit is by FAR the heaviest drag on the economy.

But Labour won't do the obvious thing.

They were always going to walk away unless Ukraine gave Russia what they wanted

If you don't watch any other part of the interview, watch this part. Then share tf out of it!

This is the part where my hair caught fire(figuratively, of course)

Her interview with Daniel Berulis was chilling but so important!

May his courage go viral!

It would be worth it for the trade we'd get again with Europe.

Yes of course it is, he probably even sought permission to use such 'strong' language.

Itts handing Putin exactly what he wants. Monstrous.

Strong regulations. They don't want regulations and want to dismantle the EU completely.

Senile or obedient

Trump 'strongly considering' large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia The president has reversed US policy and says he trusts Putin and finds dealing with Ukraine difficult.

He's really not considering this. Even in quotation marks you should do better.

That won't stop him though.

I'm not entirely sure his job isn't too bring down America too.

It would make no difference at this point sadly. Magas are blind to corruption

We are living in dangerous times.

Europe‘s security is threatened in a very real way.

Today I present ReArm Europe.

There is something more. It's Russia.

He is transactional, a narcissist and possibly an asset. He doesn't like people.

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

Starmer must call off his trip to Washington.

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

I spent 2004ish to 2016ish focused on Guantanamo/rendition/CIA & military torture and 2016 ish to present focused on immigration issues--if reporters want to talk about use of Guantanamo for immigration detention let me know...(email is firstname dot lastname at pogo dot org, DM for cell/signal)
