Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism.

Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

I just performed a citizen's arrest on a pensioner with a guide dog because she wasn't wearing a poppy in the Asda frozen aisle.

We shall remember them.

Trump, surrounded by sycophants, lickspittles and toadies who praise and worship him in his gilded palace, can’t imagine why his subjects aren’t eager to trade their constitutional republic and rights for his will, since he knows more than anyone else about everything.

Why the BBC handing Reform hours upon hours of unfiltered coverage of their press conferences every single week is so irresponsible

What exactly has been "squandered" about Brexit here and by whom?

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

It really is incredible what a difference we have seen in 24 hours. So much for her being "vicious and dangerous" as we were told

We keep being told that the
perpetrators of the Huntingdon
abomination are "British-born". OK.
So were the killers at Woolwich
barracks, Southport, Tavistock Square,
Westminster Bridge, Manchester
arena, London Bridge etc etc.
If you insist on denying that this has
anything to do with immigration policy,
I'm afraid you are not arguing in good
faith.

Farage had the opportunity to do the right thing, the kind of thing responsible leaders might do….but instead he insisted it was all fine. Ugly language he said - too true that. With an ugly sentiment behind it. Racism. You know what makes me mad Nige, all them white faces in Reform pics..:)

FFS Daily Mail

No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach β€œadult migrants”

Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?πŸ™„

I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter

Now the DM are on it, let’s go again!

So please - when you see an outrageous headline - READ THE ARTICLE.

That will almost always debunk the headline itself.

It’s up to you if you choose to then go down a Google Maps and planning application portal rabbit hole to get the full picture!πŸ€“πŸ˜‚

11 days since he was told he had to be put to sleep instead little Stormzy is taking very delicate steps.

The bandana might seem small but it’s now part of his identity. Along with his name, his recovery and the love he is getting it is part of having his dignity back ❀️

7 days ago they wanted to put him to sleep.

Today storm can 100% stand on his own.

He is still building back up but just look at the little kiss and tail wag at the end. He knows he’s safe now ❀️

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a β€˜nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

This isn’t β€œbalance”.

Iterations of this meme keeps doing the rounds for a reason - it’s because the press keep doing this!

Ummm, the rise in the state pension age to 67 was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2014, not Labour, and paying inheritance tax when you die doesn't affect your retirement income when you're alive.

Five Reform UK councillors booted out of party in Kent It comes after a damaging video leak of the Kent County Council leader shouting and swearing.

To lose one KCC councillor, Mr. Farage, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose five looks like carelessness.

Just hoping that one day soon, people will tire of targeting and terrifying asylum seekers and instead, they will turn on politicians who whip up hatred and division to grab at power for themselves…
They are the ones who are failing us.
Not these people.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.
