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.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.

Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

Kemi Badenoch refuses FIVE times to admit the damage the Conservatives’ Brexit deal did to our economy.

The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting to fix the mess the Conservatives made β€” and rebuild Britain’s trade with Europe. πŸ’ͺπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί.

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.

It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

We are taking on Nigel Farage’s divisive politics and standing up for our British values as a caring and decent country.

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

As MPs finally start debate on the Hillsborough Law, I want to pay tribute to the families and survivors of Hillsborough and so many other tragedies and scandals. This wouldn't be happening without their courage and tenacity.

Now let's make the law as strong as it can be.

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

The King is absolutely right to strip Prince Andrew of both his titles and his residence at the Royal Lodge.

It’s clear that Andrew's position had become totally untenable, having disgraced his office and embarrassed the country.

The comments we've heard from Sarah Pochin are textbook racism.

Reform must suspend the Whip.

Sarah Pochin’s comments were blatantly racist. Britain is a diverse country, and we should be proud of that.

She shouldn’t just apologise, Nigel Farage should suspend her.

Chris Philp failed FIVE times to call out Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s blatantly racist comments.

The Conservatives are too scared of Reform to call out this racism for what it is.

Liberal Democrats will always call out racism and stand up for a decent, tolerant Britain.

Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods in response to Reagan advert Trump has announced he's adding 10% to his current levies on one of the biggest US trading partners.

When Trump bullies Canada, Britain can’t stay silent. The Prime Minister needs to come out and clearly criticise these tantrum tariffs, not sit on the fence. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
