🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

What a great performance...and an equally impressive result. 11 games to go, 11 points in front. We do it all again under the lights at Anfield on Wednesday night. It would appear there is a League title to be won. Come on you lovely Redmen!

I see an enabled racist has said something racist and now the media, instead of just saying ā€œhey the racist is being racist again ā€œ, will ā€œdebateā€ his point again on air and in columns

Germany's far-right AfD party warned it would dismantle wind parks should it win power, triggering a scathing response from the country's energy industry

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

Well, who would have thought that? www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politic...

Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg have declared war on facts and truth. The pushback must start now @emilybell.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Can we share the famous red bus & ask Ms Mone where is our 29 Billion šŸ¤” #IndyClan āš”ļøšŸ“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ

The media’s dangerous embrace of Farage: a critical look at BBC’s Question Time yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but… www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/o...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says ā€œWe need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wantsā€ Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY

Jacob Rees-Mogg's show is set to be cancelled after 1 season, due to disasterous ratings. What a shame 🤣

If that disgusting racist and grifting liar Nigel Farage shouldn't have been on Question Time even once, nevermind 38 times. Give this a Like, or better yet a RP.

IYKYK.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

Morning, Reds. Serious question...given how well Caoimhin Kelleher has acquitted himself during Ali's injury absence, should we move heaven and earth to keep him? Personally, I think we should, but I would love to hear what you all think.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that ā€œsubsidies would stay 100% guaranteedā€. The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of ā€˜Remain’, but decided not to campaign, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

As we've all moved over from the Other Place, people may have accidentally followed this account (as there are so many called Anfield Something-or-other). Your regular reminder that Anfield Watch has associations with the S*n. bsky.app/profile/anfi...

Asked by Sky News whether his fellow Reform MP previously being jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend, and then subsequently lying to voters about it, should be grounds for his expulsion from the party, Nigel Farage replies that "I've got a million followers on TikTok" and storms off

Now hold on - this feels like dĆ©jĆ  vu… Farmers & rural communities voting on an aggressive anti-immigration ticket - - and then finding it hits their farm workers who are largely an immigrant population… …and it screws their industry capacity heavily. Where have I seen this before??

The gif we've all been waiting for.

LIVERPOOL GO EIGHT POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE. All our reaction is out for FREE on The Anfield Wrap šŸ”œ

Strongly-worded column here from Ian Hislop about Justin Welby's appearance at a British Museum trustees' dinner the day after he announced his resignation

As C4 explains, children of single farmers with the average value of a farm (Ā£2.2m) will pay Ā£140k tax. It’s zero if the farmer is married. The govt plans mean farmers will receive a Ā£1.5m tax free allowance. That’s Ā£1m more than the most of the population.

If you feel the same, spread the word.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT* Don't listen to talkshite, and don't spread their "expert" opinions out to the wider world. It's clickbait bullshit, and it's exactly what they want. #LFC

Just a reminder after the international break...
