Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.

A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (The White House Press Secretary) showing two news headlines side-by-side. The left headline, under a caption that reads "Shot" reads: "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC," and the right headline under a caption that reads "Chaser" reads: "Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general over Trump documentary edit."

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

An essential precondition for authoritarianism is the neutering of sources of real news.

It may be a lack of empathy or he's annoyed, but it is also possible he can't comprehend what is happening.
Trump is very confused.

Fiona Bruce 🙄

The perfect metaphor for the MAHA agenda

It's right Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appears before US Congress over his links to Epstein and his victims.

He should also give evidence to our Parliament. The public deserve answers and full transparency about this scandal.

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

That could feed a country!

Why ?

Such a giver 😂

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

"The X algorithm prioritises sending new users right-wing leaning content", a Sky News Data and Forensics investigation reveals

We had this same debate when Russia Today was on freeview pumping hate and disinformation into people's homes.

But X is far, far, far worse and it's shocking that the plug hasn't been pulled and that the government and all other major parties remain there.

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.

What a surprise that #bbcpm doesn't want to talk about #PMQs. That would mean focusing on the Tories' varying treatments of these prisoner releases based on whether the prisoner is British or not.

Nigel Farage says Reform UK could cut minimum wage for young people - and defends U-turn on tax pledges Mr Farage gave a wide-ranging news conference setting out Reform UK's economic plans, and defending claims of U-turning on 2024 election manifesto pledges.

Farage has been consistent for 15+ years.

Opposing decent pay and conditions for ordinary hard-working young people and expectant parents.

Meanwhile, he makes a mint hawking bullion, presenting tv shows and flying to the USA to big up his interests - instead of serving his constituents.

I've asked Question Time's producers if they'll continue to invite Goodwin on their show - and I've asked the BBC whether there is anything a guest could say that would mean they would not be handed that powerful platform

Via Gabriel Pogrund: “Following our story Nigel Farage is under investigation by the parliamentary authorities.

Reform leader failed to declare who paid for his trip to Florida [skipped PMQs to go in March] for a $500-a-head fundraiser for Trump .

Marjorie Taylor Greene dodges a question from Whoopi Goldberg about if she supports Trump sending the troops into American cities

Farage’s abandoned pledges.

This just shows that all the promises Farage makes including in his Manifesto are false as he’s already u-turning on them

He has no plan on how to make any of his promises happen & no idea if anything he says is even possible

Vote Reform, get Tories 2.0 with all broken promises

#NeverVoteReform

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

Mike Johnson's selling Trump's message: Children must go hungry to prevent Americans from having affordable health care. It's not going well, as I discuss in PN.

It continues to be a war crime to withhold humanitarian aid as part of collective punishment.
