Rioters breaking into the Capitol to try to lynch the VP: "great patriots [in a] peaceful lovefest" Citizens being shot with rubber bullets cos they protested ICE arrests: "insurrectionist, violent foreign terrorists [leading a] form of rebellion" Place your bets on Martial Law being declared

Hey GB News, Reform, Robert Jenrick, Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage and all you other assorted racists and misfits. There were zero small boat crossings last week but I can’t your celebrations. Your silence is deafening. www.gov.uk/government/p...

"Bidders demand Thames Water granted immunity over environmental crimes." So these are the kind of people we are dealing with. If you don't grant us immunity from prosecution we won't buy the company.

Justin Webb has an endless supply of extreme right-wing Republican friends who he allows to lie without any real challenge. Just look how he allowed Scott Jennings to totally mischaracterise Democratic positions without Mr Webb correcting him. That isn't journalism #r4today

While Robert Jenrick MP spends his days wandering about the underground tackling fare dodgers and going on about the capital for clicks... his constituency has a genuine problem. ● Newark crime rate: 123 crimes per 1,000 ● London 105.8 per 1,000 But you know... "Sadiq"

Listening to Sarah Smith chatting to Justin Webb about the "shock" ruling on the legality of the Trump tariffs and other matters, it is easy to forget that the pair have been running the Americast podcast for several years. They seem to have no insight into anything of note. #r4today

It demonstrates just how far this country has sunk into the gutter when the mob’s first concern isn’t the dead, dying or injured in Liverpool - but the ethnicity of the criminal so they can weaponise it to push a racist agenda. It is so fucking shameful. The absolute antithesis of patriotism.

Good to know #BBCQT has got its finger on the pulse of the middle to upper class elites, when a third of the population are one wage packet away from bankruptcy. They want to do away with the triple lock on pensions, how about we abandon the triple lock & pay pensioners the living wage £12.21 hr

The ghastly Andrew Mitchell blaming Hamas for Netanyahu's deliberate starvation of Gaza, saying it's worse in Darfur and people are 'crying wolf' about famine. Dreadful, dreadful man. #PoliticsLive

I just saw Jo Coburn “interviewing” Ruth Wasserman Lande, a Netanyahu supporter, on the Gaza situation. The ’tough’ Jo, was pathetic. She didn't correct any falsehoods or challenge all of the incorrect assertions. Is that because bias? It felt that way, @bbc-politics.bsky.social #PoliticsLive

Why is #r4Today using tropes like ‘ruleTakers’ Nick Robinson knows full well that all deals require compromises. Shameful and facile journalism

submitted 31 days ago • 0 comments

Nick Robinson and his #r4today pals should have shown as much interest in the pro #Brexit campaign and challenged them at the time, as in the proposed amelioration of the results. The BBC got the "balance" wrong then and will continue to do the same now.

Farage cries betrayal over access to fish stocks. But NEVER FORGET he stood down hundreds of Brexit Party PPCs to help Johnson win big in 2019 and it was Johnson who negotiated the access. There's no change to access, just an extension on existing deal for 12 years. If it's on anyone, it's Farage

Gary Lineker will be recalled for being on the right side of history long after the faceless right wing bureaucrats who spent years on end wrecking the BBC, obeying their spineless administrators, are forgotten. The BBC is no longer a home for those with talent or principle.

Gary Lineker is a good man, a national treasure, a role model. Being forced out of MOTD because he’s horrified by war criminals murdering kids (in a war the BBC refuses to cover without fear or favour) is enraging. The BBC allows free speech, but only if you’re right wing.

The BBC will sack Lineker for his humanity but pay Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg eye watering sums to rim Tories and push a right wing agenda. We urgently need press reform.
