BBC News is utterly dreadful at the moment. Big, strong, stories, not being covered at all. Get a grip Lisa Nandy, and clear out all the Tory doners from the BBC.

ā€œA former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ā€˜Krasnovā€™.ā€

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

@davidpintod.bsky.social you are my MP. Could you please bring this to the attention of Starmer. It really is time for a wealth tax on billionaires. Think of all those hospitals you could build!

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Letā€™s go!!! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Pro-Ukraine protest outside the Russian embassy. āœŠ

Hallo everyone planning to go on the Ukraine šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ solidarity rally on Saturday 22 Iā€™m all booked to come to London. All being well on train times I should get to the rally start point at St Volodymyrā€™s statue, London, W11 3QY by 11.30 am (for a noon start)

Why is this not on every UK news channel this morning?

I wonder if this is going to make the main news? šŸ¤” #Trump

Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

The BBC is covering up how the UK supports Israel. šŸ‘‰ ā€˜National scandalā€™: The BBCā€™s Gaza cover-up www.declassifieduk.org/national-sca...

"Please welcome: The unelected joint president of the United States!" This is not going to end well for anyone.

UK competition regulator fines Citi, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank Ā£100m for breaching competition law. All have history of abuses. No one prosecuted, no personal fines. Puny fines don't deter, will be passed to customers.

How was this outrage allowed to happen? www.normalisland.co.uk/p/bbc-pulls-...

Hi šŸ¦€ #BenHouchenšŸ¦€ fans The auditors have paid another visit to Ben's Tees Valley Combined Authority. And guess what? The signals are flashing red again. Who knew? Peter Morris explains for @northeastbylines.co.uk northeastbylines.co.uk/business/aud...

Solidarity with Ukraine in London tomorrow ā¤µļø Ukraine is fighting not just for its own freedom, but for the freedom of all of Europe, and of liberal democracy across the world. We all feel helpless, but this is a little something that we can do (if we can travel & navigate London) See you there!

Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putinā€™s unlawful invasion of Ukraine. His planned 3 day ā€œspecial operationā€ is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage. Be there if you can to support them šŸ™

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here šŸ‘‡šŸ½ open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Who in their right mind hires a KKKrusty the Clown impersonator for their toddlerā€™s birthday party? Oh wait ā€˜Hey kidsā€¦ when Donald Trump arrives, remember not to mention that heā€™s an adjudicated rapist with links to Jeffrey Epsteinā€¦ā€™

The bitch is back. Iā€™ll be honest I was going to give it all up as it felt futile, I know whatā€™s coming will be rough, and Iā€™ve taken a beating in recent years. Butā€¦ when good people do nothing, the bastards win. Itā€™s on all of us to resist this nightmare, hard. My takeā€¦ youtu.be/WWa1QzVOYjs

A former BBC journalist told Declassified that at the BBC -- ā€œThe use of the word genocide is effectively banned, and any contributor who uses this word is immediately shut down.ā€ www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

Short of money Rachel Reeves? Nationalise energy now. Then we all win.

Watching #Newsnight, and it's clear to me that :- 1) Europe and the UK can't rely on the USA (under Trump) 2) The UK must forget closer links with the EU for defence 3) We have to stand by Ukraine and hope it can defeat Putin.

ā€˜Theyā€™re eating the moneyā€™ I donā€™t know why I was astonished by Donald Trumpā€™s lie fest last night but it was beyond credulity I might be wrong but I got the impression even Elon Musk was squirming in his seat at some of the claims Even the DOGE claims had already been debunked We are here
