@rupahuq.bsky.social now holding the BBC Chair to account for the frequency of the appearances of Nigel Farage & other #ReformUK figures on BBC shows (eg #bbclaurak #bbcqt) despite having only 5 MPs 👏👏

Good - so many people want that question asked!

First she screwed over us all by hiking up mortgages etc following the disastrous so called “mini budget” and now she wants to drive up all our tv licences / bankrupt the BBC, our national broadcaster

Thanks but no thanks Liz

Very poignant multi-faith #RemembranceSunday service in Ealing. I took part in the march to the memorial and laid a wreath in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice

Lovely parade including cadets/ guides/ scouts/ armed forces/ veterans

Reform monopolising BBC airwaves!

Unelected Zia Yussuf on Laura Kuenssberg Sunday then on Monday Politics Live and Newsnight. Then recently Tory turned Reform MP on Tuesday Politics Live and News as well as elected Con now Reform Cllr on London Sunday Politics show

What happened to BBC balance?

Was pleased to vote to defeat Nigel Farage’s proposed bill to take the UK out of the ECHR.

After Brexit, he was after “another fine mess” to quote Laurel and Hardy. MPs blocked it by a wide margin

@rupahuq.bsky.social is among many dropping by for a chat about our #MakeAgeingFair campaign and Penny Lane placards this morning!

With our ageing society, it's important we ensure everyone can live well in later life, now and in the future.
