The BBC has been increasingly political since the Tories came into power in 2010. This is what happens when a populist appoints nearly all of the BBC hierarchy and it then hires from GB "News". Objectively, the BBC now favours the far-right and is operating as a propaganda channel for Reform.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Just want to add my voice to the increasing wave of disquiet that any uninteresting change in one minority extremist party 'reform' gets headline coverage by BBC news who don't even have an account on here because they think it might be 'too left leaning.' For pities sake. I'll post this on Threads

Each year the public sector spends £26bn on tech. To help make the right purchases, and make it faster and easier, the government is creating a new digital marketplace, expected to save £1.2bn a year. Suppliers will be rated & reviewed, offer better deals & small businesses getting a 40% boost.

Holding people to ransom. Thames Water bidders demand immunity over environmental crimes. TW has over 187 criminal convictions; allowed to negotiate fines, dump sewage in rivers, hike bills, underinvest. Immunities for TW will be demanded by others. End the circus. Let TW crash. Nationalise.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Just in case anyone tries to accuse protesters in L.A. as I type this of setting fires in demonstrating against an ICE raid of the Paramount Home Depot, I've been watching live feeds for awhile now and I've seen ICE set at least 2 fires with smoke grenades.

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

So Elon Musk thinks peace is possible. He is wrong. I sure hope he is preparing for war. (Because anyone who cares about our democracy wants it to be a war so evenly matched that both sides are destroyed.)

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Trump shares baseless conspiracy that Joe Biden died and was replaced by a clone. He seems mentally ill and needs help. That possibly explains abuse of power and tantrums. Dangerous - has finger on the nuclear button. How long before he is impeached?
