Poor coverage of Gaza at the BBC: failure of journalism A BBC report on the ceasefire in Gaza fails to fact check Israeli violations, while obscuring key context – this isn’t journalism, it’s neglect.

How can trashing the planet we live on so rich people can make ever greater profits be prioritised over tackling climate change so we don't kill off the entire human race? I will never vote for these people again. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Can guarentee if 20 years ago someone had done a Nazi Salute at a Presidential Inauguration that person would have been kicked out of Government for good. But now the richest own the Government completely.

Judge: The Southport killings by Axel Rudakubana were NOT an act of terror. So Nigel Farage WAS spreading misinformation which helped incite the riots. Black & brown people were hunted in the streets because of that man's lies and islamophobia.

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

The reason you can't get a house, is because the Government doesn't build them. The reason you can't get in a hospital because the Government doesn't fund it. And your job doesn't pay because the Government doesn't make them pay. Nothing to do with immigration.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Oh look. Yet another Brexit benefit… The thrill of being “held over a barrel by Trump” who may let us sell out our farmers and stock our shelves with hormone-pumped 🇺🇸 shite if we ask v nicely. Because the option of properly fixing what we broke with the EU will piss off the Daily Mail. Chef’s kiss.

Neo-Nazis: This is a Nazi salute. Historians: This is a Nazi salute. Everyone online: This is a Nazi salute. Journalists: Musk gave a weird wave that's being interpreted in different ways. #TheChaser has more credibility than the mainstream news media. #ElonMusk #TrumpInauguration #USPolitics

Ok. Musk is insane. An out-of-control lunatic ketamine-soaked billionaire in charge of the White House with a feverish grudge against our govt and Starmer in particular. Reform and the Tories disgrace themselves by their fawning, unpatriotic and dangerous association with him.

My newsletter today is about how concerned I am about the UK media. If we end up with a far-right government, it’ll be partly because of billionaire media owners, complicit editors, and journalists who should know better, because our political future is at stake🚨 👉https://jujuliagrace.substack.com

Scumbag farmers in tractors decided to block the A14 and A5 today with a 'go slow protest'. There was no request for this, they did it illegally. I hope the Police will be seizing their tractors and locking them up for 4-5 years just like Just Stop Oil.
