“Yes, we support Labour’s additional funding for defence. However, leave the aid budget alone, in fact increase it. No cuts or tax increases should be made to fund this and no borrowing either. It doesn’t add up, but who cares? We want to stir it up for political advantage“. Guess who this is?

Here we go again. “Tonali is out/ on the bench”. The evidence? Other people are saying “Tonali is out/on the bench”. #nufc 🤬

Say it all...

Dear Ukrainians 🇺🇦 We told you didn’t we? With much love Britain 🇬🇧

The Reform Party and its leaders, in their defence of Trump, are saying there was a UK general election during the Second World War and that’s why Ukraine should have had one during its war with Russia. Total garbage. Ten year gap between 1935 election and 1945 election. No election during the war.🤬

Reform sympathisers at BBC News have decided that the Trump/Ukraine catastrophe is not important enough to lead the news, or even be the second headline. They should be pursuing Farage and co, asking them to explain and defend Trump’s actions. They rather drop the story than do that. 🤬🤬🤬

Bravo!

Disgraceful interview on BBC PM, where chuckling Evan Davies allows an American Trump apologist to get away with murder. Why not ask about the specifics Evan Davies? Instead of suggesting it’s all a brilliant negotiation strategy on Trump’s part.

What on earth are you doing Google Maps? 🤬🤬🤬

Oh dear! @bbcr4today have a bloke on. He’s talking enthusiastically about Trump’s “book”, without laughing. Nick Robinson isn’t laughing. He should be. 🤬

Breaking News: NHS waiting lists have fallen again, that’s 4 months in a row. The economy grew more than expected. What do the BBC send out as breaking news? Rachel Reeves exaggerated her CV, not lied about her role at the BOE? It’s no exaggeration to say how bias the BBC has become.

BBC has a duty to investigate prominent Labour politicians. It’s scouring the internet looking at CVs 20+ years old. BBC is packed with Tory appointees (Ofcom too), so no chance investigation into computer hacking Badenoch was accused of. The Tory party are totally in control of the BBC news agenda.

Why no BBC Look North (NE and Cumbria) tonight?

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

I wonder what Peter Mandelson thinks now. He recently withdrew his previous criticism of Trump. Now Trump suggests unqualified ppl were given air traffic control jobs just because they came from a minority group. How would PM react if ppl (wrongly) said the same about him and the US ambassadorship?

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…

Ali McCoist: “Great header, the ball was skidding up off the groond” 😀⚽️👍

Oh dear! The spin on the Tom Watson & Prince Harry story is appalling: “It was private investigators, not our journalists who did wrong”. So it was the private detectives who wrote the stories and headlines and chose to put them on the front page. 🤬🤬🤬

Left the hellsite. It won’t let me deactivate the account. Suggestions?

Share this. If you’re unfortunate enough to have Tory voting friends and family, ask them to defend this.

Take a bow @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Sky News showing Musk’s speech at the inauguration. Several clips, but didn’t see the Nazi salute, did I miss it?

We boycotted S Africa and its sports teams for years, quite rightly. Afghanistan should have the same treatment. The world cannot abandon Afghan women and girls and allow Afghanistan to retain normal relationships with other nations. It has to stop.

Obviously Trump is trying to turn his unconditional discharge into a “not guilty” verdict. It isn’t, he’s been found guilty and the discharge is technical - they can’t send a president to jail. BBC PM prog are allowing the “not guilty” narrative to run, allowing Trump supporters to cry “witch hunt!”

Trump promised to cut food prices, “top priority” he said. So why the sudden interest in Greenland? Surely it should be Iceland he’s talking about, plus Tesco, Asda, Morrison’s and another frozen food specialist, Farm Foods. ❄️😃

This is why I stopped listening to the Today programme some time ago.

This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.

Another game, another goal for Alexander Isak! 🔥

Farage on BBC this morning, defending Musk. “It’s free speech. As friends sometimes we agree to disagree”. Three hours later Musk says “Farage isn’t up to the job as Reform leader”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

👇 Agree with Dylan (follow him for great polling analysis). Labour need a new approach to their media management of the BBC. In all the time I’ve covered politics, the only language that has caused BBC to change the tenor of its politics coverage has been aggressive “your bias is showing” stuff.

Oh dear! BBC News reporting on Trump sentencing concentrate on his denial. “It was all a political attack” he says. No mention of what he’s been accused and convicted of.

Oh come off it BBC! You’re quoting political leaders’ statements about solving problems in the care system. Strangely you omit the classic from Boris Johnson, where he tells us “It’s all sorted”. 🤬

9 years! Gone too soon. #NUFC 🖤🤍

Can any Clacton voter share with us what Farage has done for them in the last six months?

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d... Putin opens hisChristmas gift from Trump. The people of Ukraine suffer. 😕

Hearing what happened to this poor child, almost unbearable to listen to it. A wise person on the radio asks: “why are adults allowed to discipline children by assaulting them?” Adults aren’t allowed to do it to each other: it’s indefensible. 🤬

I know they set the ticket prices early but £30 for the FA Cup tickets for Bromley is a little excessive. #twentiesplenty #nufc
