There’s a guy called Jimmy the Giant who does really good accessible videos and he got out of the far-right when he saw a video of Owen Jones and then he read one of his books and now he’s really cool and decent. This must annoy the right wing creeps SO much.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

🔥🧵

important to remember that we we talk about the BBC’s right-wing bias we mean in the way they chose what to report on and how they frame those issues, and when the right talks about the BBC’s left-wing bias they mean that sometimes the person who reads out the news is black

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

Tom Newton Dunn • @tnewtond. 1... 7h S New: Former British Army chiefs attack Keir Starmer on human rights laws to warn lawfare now "risks everything". In an unprecedented open letter to @thetimes, nine 4-star generals reveal an SAS exodus and say it's now "a direct threat to national security"

Treasonous human rights laws mean special forces now can’t even murder scads of civilians in a series of bloodcurdling war crimes and lie about what they’ve done while the government covers it up, without facing a lot of impertinent questions

Looks like the constant failures of BBC news and current affairs are gonna take the other, reasonably good 85% of the organisation with it into oblivion

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

"...if the BBC cannot or will not defend itself, and if it will not stand true for a truly radical concept: fearlessly impartial journalism, not fearful management of impartiality, then it will fade away. And it’ll deserve to."

so joyce carol oates owned elon so hard he's been taking out ads on X saying he has in fact read a book and watched a movie and he's clearly spiraling and unable to recover from such a vicious own i say to my wife as she frantically pulls out of the driveway

"Zealously Pro Palestinian party"

Genocide is bad actually.

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

Then it's not a fucking ceasefire, is it.

RADIO Times Radio • @TimesRadio • 4h "I used to be the right, but then the whole spectrum moved." @WilliamJHague insists his views are "still just the same as they ever were" but politics has become "more and more right wing"

Pretty remarkable that it falls to *William fucking Hague* to explain the most basic reality of a decade of escalating wingnuttery right across the board, but here we are

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

screen grab of Sun Sport artilce about IOC ban for trans women including a picture of Cisgender Boxer Imame Khelife

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

🚨 The BBC’s Road to Appeasement

As the BBC comes under growing criticism for its coverage of Reform, we republish @adambienkov.bsky.social and @baghdaddi.bsky.social’s 2024 investigation into how the corporation's leadership became cowed by the right

Some BBC figures point to an effort to shift the corporation politically, dating back to Boris Johnson’s time in government. The Guardian has been told Prescott’s appointment as an external adviser had been pushed by the BBC board member Robbie Gibb, Theresa May’s former communications chief who helped set up the rightwing broadcaster GB News.

25 paragraphs before the Guardian gets to the truth, which even then it can't bring itself to have a position on (www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...).

No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

Sunder Katwala (sunde... @sunder... • 12h National Trust council elections saw a defeat for the Restore Trust campaign. 35k members voted to re-elect a slate of council candidates endorsed by the nominations committee 12k - 13.5k voted for candidates on Restore Trust slate Non-slate candidated

If you want an explanation for How It Came To This, then stuff like this - the national heritage body having to fight off an infestation of feral wingnut cranks who were deliberately set upon them by the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express - is a helpful microcosm.

Be VERY clear, this WILL happen in the UK if Reform get anywhere near power after the next election.

This is a Gestapo & concentration camp system & there is NOTHING to stop Farage doing this here.

If you think it “couldn’t happen here” you are dangerously deluded. It can always happen anywhere.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone, you'll want to hear this...

Scottish independence would see Scotland flourish, and England wither.

That is why anyone who speaks of separation will be treated like the enemy... cos independence would fuck up the gravy train for Westminster.

Yo, Labour...

We have 3 distinct political groups forming in the West.

- The worst people imagineable
- People who will stand by & watch
- Those who have a conscience

The coming collapse in immigration to the United Kingdom - UK in a changing Europe James Bowes analyses the fall in net migration to the UK as a result of government policies and explores some of the political and economic consequences.

'Net migration will fall very sharply in future years... Any political benefit the government may gain from this fall in immigration could be jeopardised by the economic damage that it causes'. Some eye watering estimates here from @jamesbowes01.bsky.social ukandeu.ac.uk/the-coming-c...

If nonviolent resistance doesn't work, why are they trying so hard to make it illegal?
