The Beeb Bleeds, the Telegraph Cheers, and Trump Claps From the Balcony The people who always hated public broadcasting finally smell blood - and the BBC seems too tired and compromised to fight back.

Why can't the BBC just be more impartial towards President Trump, like GB News, says Nigel Farage.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

A rather general take on Celebrity Traitors but isn’t it nice having β€˜event’ tele, on terrestrial at a set time each week that we can all talk about in real time rather than binge-watching in one go.

Labour cancelled 13 million covid vaccines to clinically vulnerable. This week 188 people have died from COVID. I feel nothing has been learnt. It’s made a mockery out of the COVID inquiry. We now need another inquiry to investigate this governments mishandling.

If the polls are right (which they’re not) 70% of people don’t want Reform anywhere near power. I honestly believe it’s 80%. But either way Farage will never be PM.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Company linked to Michelle Mone owes Β£39m in unpaid taxes Statement by administrators puts PPE Medpro’s total debts at Β£188m, including Β£39m said to be owed to HMRC

PPE Medpro linked to Michelle Mone owes Β£39m in unpaid taxes.

The company also owes the public purse Β£148m for supplying unusable surgical gowns.

Company is bankrupt. HMRC ranks as unsecured creditor for taxes owed by the company.

Where has the money vanished to? Will anything be recovered?

We can’t let the Tories sabotage this once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the world of work | Angela Rayner The employment rights bill is in the Commons today. As Zohran Mamdani’s victory shows, people are desperate for policies that actually improve lives, says Labour MP Angela Rayner

Reform/Tories hate the Employment Rights Bill as it gives workers a bit more control over their lives.
They also moan about how many people are off work, sick and Farage says NMW is too high

β€œbeing pro-worker is not a barrier to success, but a launchpad to it.”

Brexit costs us Β£40 billion a year in lost tax income from trade with the EU, this is why we are broke

Average person’s life saw β€˜no meaningful improvement’ over past year – charity Carnegie UK found stagnating wellbeing and persistent hardship for millions of people since 2023.

β€œUnderlying all these results is the inescapable fact that significant and damaging inequalities persist across all parts of the UK.”

Does the Labour government understand this? They show few signs of grasping it

Sorry doesn’t stop the slurry or save Lough Neagh. After decades of failure, words mean nothing without real action.

It’s time for a moratorium on slurry spreading around the Lough, to rescind the disastrous Going for Growth strategy, and set up an independent Environmental Protection Agency.
