The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey The BBC belongs to all of us, and it is under attack as never before. The government must defend it from its enemies, within and without, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Yes! This guy wants us to live in a Fox News nightmare. Whatever its faults, we’d miss the BBC if he succeeds

Ewww. Eugghhh.

I call it immigration mind virus. My old dad who had never encountered the migrant railed against immigration. It's basically just racism, but it's given a focus. And once it gets into their brains, it eats the rest away.

There are some words. I have some.

It's like last Thursday never happened!!! unbelievable.

Reform UK suspends another member of Kent county council Isabella Kemp’s departure means party has lost nine of 57 councillors elected in May, including four after video leak

Reform says Kent CC is their "shop window", where the country can see what a Farage gov't would be like.

Well... chaos, suspensions, defections, paralysis, zero "DOGE" savings, tax rises, and a leader making mad-dictator speeches, sounds about right. ~AA

Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres Questions about potential conflict of interest as council’s cabinet member for social care owns private care company

Meanwhile, in Reform's Lancashire CC, the councillor in charge of care homes, owns a private care home, and is closing council care homes. 👀

A resident’s son, a Reform party member, said any move would “kill” his mother. ~AA

inspired by this, I have done a free extract of this section of the book here. it is about understanding that *with all its problems* the BBC is as important for our intellectual health as the NHS is for our physical health:

When is the Heritage Foundation finally treated internationally like the KKK like terrorist organisation it clearly is?

How fucking despicable is this? Whoever sanctioned this should be hauled up before the American people and pelted with whatever they happened to feel like throwing. Plus other more formal punishment.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

Trump's approval rating keeps drifting lower. Long may it continue.

So, on these figures, half the UK favours a broadly "progessive" government (Labour/LibDem/SNP/Green/Plaid), but our "first past the post" voting system would let a far right party romp into parliament with a 60 MP majority based on 30% of the vote.
Democracy?
The will of the people?

The reason why Trump continues to fall for QAnon and satire posts and puts them out as fact is because he has dementia and has no idea what his own Admin is doing from day-to-day. That, and he’s a habitual liar. meidasnews.com/news/wow-tru...

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Imagine the greeting Newsom will receive. Donald will have a sad day.

But please don’t ever send a cat (or other live creature) through the mail.

Nigel Farage: Huge tax cuts not currently realistic - BBC News The Reform UK leader rows back on his party's previous promise to deliver £90bn of tax cuts.

Farage speaks and BBC reports it as a big news, despite Reform having just 5 MPs, whereas LibDems have 72 but @eddavey.libdems.org.uk gets blanked

Even when he U-Turns a policy made up on back of a fag pack that instead of being challenged by them as flawed, got reported as new

It’s nauseating❗️🥴😡

This has been another great disappointment of Starmer's 'reign'. They're piling up.
