What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

As anti-Labour media will always put words in her mouth, why not beat them to it:

"Yes it's true, Daily Mail readers, we are coming for you and your money because a) everyone else had to pay under the Tories b) Brexit screwed the poor c) you voted for both. Cheers, Rachel."

Reform UK have performed so many u-turns on policy, here’s there new logo.

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Wealth taxes

These are #LabourAchievements and they are #FixingBritain. Private School VAT has delivered more than expected and billions extra delivered by HMRC collecting on underpaid tax by the wealthy. This is why the media hate Labour. Don’t be fooled.

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security.

The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government.

It explains pretty much everything.

Hurrah! I suspect there are many hundreds of thousands of us in the same boat.

This is, sadly, true.

Disgusting behaviour by fringe political nutters who should know better.

Please, @mrjamesob.bsky.social - don't do this nonsense "let's go to a random person on the scene who might have seen or heard something and has talked to people who also might have heard and seen something..."
Let the authorities deal with it, and wait for the official statements.

I don't want him to tell me about his restructuring of the NHS.
Just do it. @mrjamesob.bsky.social
I want him to give me inspiration.
I don't want him to criticise Farage or Reform. He's already done that.
I want him to tell us his dreams, HIS inspiration, I want him to be a standard-bearer.

He arrived really out of breath. He was gasping for air when he started.

Some serious work going on over on Twitter. Dodgy Nige is still in hiding. But more being uncovered daily 👏👏👏

I'm still non the wiser. Why would they sew the extra material there in the first place? And does this mean every zip pocket has this extra piece half sewn in?
My brain hurts.

I've no idea who that could've been...

Who’s going to be the first to blame Starmer for England being slow, ponderous and, frankly, boring? #ENGAND

The grifting idiot can't come up with his own policy statements, and merely parrots those of his hero, Trump.

Ah! Good point! 👏

Higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax Check if you have to pay the higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) when you buy a residential property in England or Northern Ireland.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Quick point: Angela Rayner isn't a trustee, but the HMRC website says this doesn't matter because the trust benefits your child.

Even lied to parliament that there was an investigation into his affairs, and threatened to sue journalists who mentioned it.

We need the advisor to come forward and say "yes, it's complicated (understandably) but I got it wrong." 2/2

Definitely an open goal which shows she's not agile enough to respond quickly to news. I have sympathy for Rayner, and if the facts are as she says, although ultimately responsible she has mitigating factors. 1/2

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

Well well well....
And lowest number of migrants since 2021
Where's the Labour comms team?
