The BBC has many journalists with a deep understanding of the Middle East but insist on using the woeful Chris Mason to interview Starmer using his usual gotcha type questioning.

We should have absolutely nothing to do with this fucking madness news.sky.com/story/uk-mil...

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, "It's concerning that we're sending jets out to the middle east when all the talk should be of de-escalation" "If Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government really wanted to show they were serious about de-escalating, they should stop selling arms to Israel"

Nobody in the UK supports this we do not want to spend our money to support Israel committing War Crimes.

Repost if you think Brexit it is one of the worst political decisions Britain has ever made. #ExitBrexit

Excellent….

P&O Ferries hires tiny four-person accounting firm to replace KPMG. 4 person firm auditing a giant corporation! Can it resist management pressures? In 2022, P&O illegally sacked 800 workers. Govt did nothing. It hasn't filed statutory accounts at Companies House on time for 3 years. Govt action?

Women. Know your value and role in their world. There were so many possible quotes- and one simple way next week your MP can take a stand against this agenda. 1/4

Is BBC weasel Mason going to investigate the new Reform UK chairman, Dr David Bull’s LinkedIn page and CV? 🤔

Hey Donald, that bust of Winston Churchill in your office wants a word.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Trump is obviously a fascist. Time to stop avoiding the term.

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

I asked a BBC spokesperson to set out any examples of the corporation drawing up specific plans to secure the support of voters for other political parties in the UK, but they were unable to do so bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has drawn up plans to win over Reform voters by changing its news and drama output. BBC Director General Tim Davie and other execs discussed altering "story selection" in order to win the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Just want to add my voice to the increasing wave of disquiet that any uninteresting change in one minority extremist party 'reform' gets headline coverage by BBC news who don't even have an account on here because they think it might be 'too left leaning.' For pities sake. I'll post this on Threads

Sarah Elliott, putting US Republican views on Any Questions @BBCRadio4 today complained UK debt was disastrously high & every baby is born with £40,000 of debt. She did not mention the US figure is over $100,000, around £75,000. She is Director, UK-US Special Relationship Unit.

Labour peer, Lord Campbell-Savours has accused ‘out of control’ Zelensky of scuppering chances of Ukraine peace. This is a blatant pro-Russian propaganda lie, and a monstrous attack on a brave leader. Campbell-Savours must be kicked out of Labour. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

‘Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper said: "By sacking himself, Zia Yusuf seems to be leading the 'UK DOGE' by example. You have to admire his commitment to the cause.’ Hahaha! V well said @libdemdaisy.bsky.social What a clown show of an operation. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

In responding to the regional growth statement I questioned where the transport investment was for rural areas such as Cumbria, Shropshire, Norfolk, Devon and Cornwall, as well as further questions re rail investment. But v pleased to see the Metrolink to Stockport in the plan!

50 years ago today, when Britain voted to remain in Europe (and not by a small majority but a large one), the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc were not owned by three far-right Europhobes.

Who saw that coming birminghamunison.co.uk/2025/06/03/r...

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.

This is unbelievable. The man is apparently a lawyer…but does not have the first clue about the most basic rules of our profession.

Nigel Farage is to give up his £73,000 EU pension! Sorry - my mistake - he just wants to stop other people having a decent pension.

"Nigel Farage wants to leave the ECHR to make YOU considerably poorer. No state pension. No minimum wage. No state benefits. No maternity pay. No holiday pay. No sick pay. And ultimately, no NHS. Nigel Farage is not on your side. Wake-up!" via Sarah

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Watch out for whether Reform UK councils end up hiding JCB as a contractor. Owner Baron Bamford is now a Reform donor 👀

Very much enjoyed Robert Jenrick filming himself telling people they should pay for using the tube.
