I’ve been accused of being a conspiracy theorist because I insist that the BBC had everything to do with the rise of Farage & his Reform party. This chart just focussing on BBC Question Time (2010-2020) shows there was bias towards the platforming of anti-EU MEPS especially Farage. I rest my case.

Another Friday, and the end of another week during which Labour could have taken the first steps towards rejoining the EU, but instead chose to explicitly repaint its radioactively bright Brexit red lines. So much wasted opportunity, it's incredible.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

Quick reminder that in 2022/2023, members of the “Independent Healthcare Providers Network” (private companies) provided a grand total of 109 doctor training placements. That’s compared to ~75000 overall! Private companies don’t ‘save’ the NHS-they poach its staff🚨🚨🚨 www.ihpn.org.uk/wp-content/u...

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

Maybe tomorrow a <single journalist> might bother to find the Speaker or the Senate Majority Leader & ask why the hell they aren't acting to stop unelected people who aren't even federal employees from violating the laws Congress already passed, & to explain why this isn't a constitutional crisis? 🤷‍♂️

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

The pitch from right wing politicians that the UK needs to leave the ECHR is based on a wholly misleading premise yet many are now being taken in by it. Let’s make sure everyone understands the actual facts. Leaving the ECHR will undermine all our rights

If you watch, read or listen to the Media, everything you are told is seen from the point of view of the billionaires. The poor are always to blame for everything, and the rich are never to blame, and even if they are it isn't really their fault, it is unavoidable. Realise this
