The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it

We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Attendees at the September 24 taping at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles saw Marissa Bode telling the audience that one song’s message extended to β€œstanding up to a power-hungry dictator.” That line was cut entirely from NBC’s final broadcast, many in the audience cheered to this quite about Trump

Noem wanted to buy Spirit Airlines planes - except the airline didn’t own them DHS looked at buying the planes from Spirit Airlines, according to a report

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesn’t own the planes, and they don’t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won?

People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

It’s always pure projection.

The Reform UK DOGE lie.

Derbyshire Council’s Reform cabinet meeting on Thursday 13 November has a little surprise.

Members are being asked to approve measures to employ outside consultants a transformation and efficiency programme. The cost of this? Up to Β£5 million.

They must already know that the vast majority of the Council buget is swallowed up by legally required spending and there is next to nothing that can be cut. This Β£5 million contract looks like being the biggest waste of public money in Derbyshire. Who is lined up to get this Β£5m gift?

Someone who knows Trump personally said that if a golfing partner of many years dropped dead on the course Trump would just shrug, say I hardly knew the guy, and ask who wants to play the rest of the round with him. Quite so.

Hang on. In reporting, Cllr Kemp is described as a Reform UK staffer (now ex-staffer). As her LinkedIn seems to attest.

So why hasn't she declared it on her register of interests?

It is a legal duty under the Localism Act. Failing to declare relevant financial interests is a criminal offence.

Reform UK Council Grifter in Northumberland.

Councillor Shaun Knowles turned up to a meeting yesterday for the first time in just under 6 months.

This means he avoids disqualification by just a few days and keeps his councillor salary.

Not a very happy anniversary for the Republican Party which just got a preview of how the mid-terms will go because they have allowed the party to become a cult and the cult leader talks shit and is despised by everyone with a shred of intelligence
