jimbobk.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

This has been on my mind recently: The UK news media disregarding The #LibDems in print, online, on TV, on the radio... Many regularly call-out news media on Bluesky for the lack of attention given to #LibDems politicians, when they're the de facto third party in GB. Eg: Search "bbc libdems" 1/2

The BBC took 21 days to sack Jeremy Clarkson after he physically attacked a producer. Gary Lineker has left less than a week after criticising a genocide. Reminder: we're legally forced to pay for the BBC www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

"For about an hour" was, in fact, for seven-and-a-half minutes each, with the UK PM getting the last word, then leading a Q&A session with media. But this is such an excellent example of the mendacious, awful, biased reporting that has been the hallmark of the entire Brexit debate for a decade. ~AA

Dear MailOnline I don't believe I've talked about anything on air fryers in well over a year (possibly two) let alone just give an 'urgent' warning. It's news to me! Is the warning that both airfryers and me are high search engine terms so you're using them to attract clicks?

While I admit that I have never understood what Donald Trump means when he says he will make America great again, I do know this: No country is great if it cannot secure the return of a legal resident it deported in error.

Curious of #BBC #Breakfast to run a live interview with #Farage about Reform’s mayoral campaign, without challenging his evidence-free claims (building cycle lanes that no-one uses..!!) and not interviewing any other party lead. Wtf?

Despite all our concessions to Trump, the UK has been awarded the same tariffs as Iran. It's time for the UK to work closely with our allies in Europe and the Commonwealth to stand strong against Trump's trade war.

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Michael Heseltine has shown time and time again he’s on the right side of history. Brexit was sold on a bed of lies and dark money. It is time for Keir Starmer to represent the majority by getting growth, prosperity and security back by rejoining the EU.

I'm campaigning to get out a big anti-Farage vote in the local elections. I can't do this on my own. We need lots of people to be campaigning. Let's burst Farage's toxic bubble by campaigning and voting. Please use the #Vote4Democracy tag, and share the message as far and as fast as possible.
