Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?”
Oli Dugmore

It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end

In return for surrendering territory Russia has tried & failed to capture for 4 years what would Ukraine get?

Worthless "security guarantees" from Trump!

Europe must back Ukraine in rejecting these demands. Ukraine's freedom and our collective security depends on it!

Today we mark Palestinian Independence Day.

Now more than ever, we call for an end to occupation, justice, and a real path to lasting peace.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Enchanting and vachement cool 😎

I've been Labour my whole adult life, but I can't disagree with this.

Reform are indistinguishable from the National Front in 1995. And Labour are indistinguishable from Tories in 1995.

That's not a progressive option. That's the other thing. It's complicity when we need radicalism. It's failure.

Yeah, oops! 🤣

I'll be watching 👀
