This is really scary: even former Tory Davie, the disproportionate coverage of Reform and relentless attention to right wing anti-immigrant talking points have not been enough. Right wing networks want complete capture.

ITV in talks to sell television business to Sky.
Sky is owned by US-based Comcast, largest shareholders include Vanguard Group, BlackRock.
CMA must block the takeover. No one must own more than one major media outlet. Need diversity and competition.
Lower bills. Tax billionaires.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:
The right defends economic power.
The left resists economic power.
Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.
Why are you voting for Farage?
Bill Gates wrote these words while onboard one of his four private jets as he zipped between his multiple bunker-basement mansions.

My thoughts are with all affected by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba, and with their loved ones, including countless British families.
With climate breakdown advancing, storms like this will only become more frequent. We must act urgently to prevent further catastrophes.

#Melissa is starting to rapidly intensify (RI) in the Caribbean as it amps into an expected Cat 5 hurricane by (latest) Monday.
While there have been others to do it, a hurricane undergoing RI in October is relatively uncommon.

Isn't Reform just so patriotic - they love our country so much that they *checks notes* will leave if things don't go according to plan

Inequality is a huge threat facing our country - why won't the govt tackle it? Tax wealth, invest in communities, and build a fairer future for everyone.

The UK Environment Agency has been in the pockets of the polluters for years
It needs to be scrapped and replaced with a new body with serious clout

There is evidence supporting this globally already. When you repeat far right framing you end up normalising it. We're seeing same thing with Labour pandering to the far right, and how they're actually helping Reform gain support with their rhetoric and policies.
