Come on. Give him a peace prize!

this is a day that literally celebrates the end of war

Is particularly noticeable at the moment when they're all focusing relentlessly on the BBC - an organisation which they all have a heavy commercial interest in undermining

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

FFS! Why don't you ask Morgan Mcsweeny why he thinks this is happening? Or maybe Lord Glasman?
They will sort it all out, I'm sure!🤬

Racism returning to UK politics – and people are very scared, says Starmer PM attacks ‘toxic division of Reform’ and gives strongest signal yet that two-child benefit cap will be lifted * UK politics live – latest updates Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and “it makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was “tearing our country apart”. Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”.

Racism returning to UK politics – and people are very scared, says Starmer

The thrill of right-wing outlets and politicians over the BBC tells you all you need to know...

The BBC is a vital British institution.

Nigel Farage Pictured With Far-Right Activists Who Posted 'Pride Swastikas' and Racist Rants EXCLUSIVE: The Reform UK leader posed for pictures with the group of prominent far-right activists known for their extreme, racist and Islamophobic posts

Almost a year on and Nigel Farage has still not given any explanation as to what was going on here bylinetimes.com/2025/01/30/n...

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Notable that the supposedly “patriotic” wing of British politics wants to destroy / defund almost all of our national institutions

When was the last time anyone at the BBC had to resign for misrepresenting a leftwinger?

Trump just pardoned the entire 2020 coup cast…Giuliani, Meadows, Powell and 74 more. Fantastic. Nothing screams “I’m innocent”…like handing out get-out-of-jail cards to everyone who helped you try to steal an election. Hell of a business model, though.

"It wouldn't have crossed anybody's mind at the BBC that they'd have to defend themselves against accusations of undermining the idea that he incited an insurrection."

BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage’s party

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

More top @matildamartin.bsky.social data work, this time showing why there are growing calls for council tax to be overhauled

Highest rates (% of house price) are in some of the country's poorest areas

Side-by-side comparison of BBC-edited Trump speech from day of Capitol attack with original – video A selectively edited clip by Panorama has resulted in the BBC being accused of making it appear clearer that the US president encouraged the Capitol attack

He said what he said - the clip tells the truth - yes the words were selected - but that is what he said -no mistake - he told them to get down there and fight like hell. Not a misquote at all.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Tweet from Manveen Rana on Aug 24, 2022 "Funnily enough Andy, the only time I ever experienced political interference in one of my investigations at the BBC, was when I was investigating you and @Arron_banks. Your mate Robbie Gibb put a stop to a story we were running. So I’m really not surprised you support him…"

"Funnily enough Andy [Wigmore], the only time I ever experienced political interference in one of my investigations at the BBC, was when I was investigating you and Arron Banks

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

How Spain’s radically different approach to migration helped its economy soar As immigration has increased, GDP has surged and unemployment has fallen to lowest level since 2008

Indeed. There is a better & more ethical option.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I don't think the private parasites have built any new reservoirs in the past 30 years or more. Too busy spreading poo in rivers and scoffing vast profits.
