Makes my day every time to walk past Baroness @floellabenjamin.bsky.social - it feels like sheโ€™s overseeing my studies and coaching me along. Play away :-)

This is the problem - relentless promotion of the far right by msm in UK - why? We know disaster and ruin lie that way. Does msm want to be controlled like they are in the USA? Stop the rot!

They have a responsibility to provide impartial news and this ainโ€™t it! Just like with all the Fhurage nonsense yesterday. The MsM is driving a dangerous agenda that is going to cost lives and they have no shame they just want ratings and favour - like scoring an interview etc

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Quite clear Starmer wet the bed around Trump and said what he wanted to hear NOT what we wanted to hear him say to Trump!

Ffs @skynewsrss.bsky.social saying that itโ€™s VERY unusual for leaders to get one on one with POTUS - literally 4 weeks ago he had car ride and private meeting without aides with PUTIN!!!

Extraordinarily pointless article on royal family #WATO @bbcnews 2 much focus and glossing over of wealth (see @theguardian.com for proper reporting on wealth & increasing wealth & lack of transparency) & little true analysis of polls showing massively declining interest: reform & reduce monarchy

The fourth estate is fffing with our democracy - to describe this protest march as HUGE when multiple anti Brexit rallies donโ€™t even get a mention in previous years! Balance and proportionality seemingly is not a thing anymore!

Sadly lost on Johnson is that being so violently assassinated is the ultimate defeat of all Charlie Kirkโ€™s arguments (although Iโ€™d argue they werenโ€™t arguments and more provocative statements intended to divide and agitate intolerance and prejudice). Nothing justifies taking a life however.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Hey @news.sky.com the more honest reporting of this story on Flags would have been to have the reveal that the flag installer was a mate of Tommy Robinson, had met him the night before and that heโ€™d got the flags from Robinson right at the top of the article!

JUST IN: Judge Berman agrees that effort by DOJ to unseal Epstein grand jury files is a โ€œdiversionโ€ when DOJ could just release a trove of far more comprehensive documents without court involvement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DOJ goes 0-3 in requests to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials Two other federal judges already denied DOJโ€™s requests to publicly release the material.

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case.

He wrote that the government itself is the โ€œlogical partyโ€ to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a โ€œdiversionโ€ tactic.
