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

Couldn't agree with you more. The BBC has Faragitis. Why are they headlining this when Ukraine is under major attack and Trump has ordered the National Guard onto the streets of LA? Beeb has done more to promote Farage than any other media.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

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. 👇👇

Good to see Razorbill, Guillemot, Fulmar, Kittiwake and Peregrine on a boat trip round Skomer and time on the coast path yesterday and pop into Slimbridge seeing the Bluethroat on the way home today, a new bird for me. Cranes and Shelducks other Slimbridge highlights. #30DaysWild #UKWildlife #Birds

NEW: Paramount, California is a battleground right now. Riot police are using tear gas and what sounds like flash bangs/stun grenades against those protesting ICE’s deportation raids. Clearly some injuries (at 45 secs here). (🎥Credit: KNX News)

The Labour government has announced the spending review will allocate £86bn for science & tech research & development across the coming years. The move is to "invent in Britain's renewal" through the Modern Industrial Strategy. Every £1 invested in R&D generates up to £7 in benefit to the economy.

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.

Here in the UK political observers have bet it would be a matter of time before Trump sent the National Guard out onto the streets to stand against demonstrators. This is the USA turning on its people. Expected in some banana republic but not the US. Shocking.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Well, #ReformUKLtd is basically a one-man cult. Without Farage it would simply wither away and die.

I've had enough of people who respond to positive news about the government with nothing more than 'whataboutary'. 'what about this unrelated issue?' 'why are they doing this when there is another issue?' 'but it doesn't solve this other issue?' Enough! 1/2

Exactly. Media still looking at all our politics through Reform lenses. Billionaire media owners pushing a party affiliated to Trump’s GOP which rewards billionaires with tax cuts.

The Labour government is introducing the biggest shake-up of jobcentres for decades, as the new local-led approach is first rolled out in Wakefield in conjunction with local leaders. It will hold new careers events and try new approaches to support job seekers & employers based on local needs.
