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...

It's pretty obvious that voting for Reform is not the answer. Their policies, ideology, leadership are all questionable and their numbers just don't stack up. Prove me wrong.

Reform in Redditch are claiming that they have saved the taxpayer almost £46,000 by having one fewer cabinet member than the previous administration on Worcestershire County Council. An official council spokesperson tells me: "There were 10 Cabinet members previously...and 10 Cabinet members now."

Brexit was never about regaining our borders, sovereignty, cheaper food etc. It was to protect the money of the rich held in tax havens. Once we accept that as being the driver, then it all makes perfect sense. There never were any opportunities, it was for the benefit of the 1%.

Thames Water have been fined £104.5m, the largest ever issued, over sewage spills, and £18.2m for breaches over dividend payments. Ofwat say the fines will be paid by the company & investors - it won't be passed on to customers. It's a sign of the government cracking down on water companies.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Brexit made it harder to return migrants who cross Channel, top Tory realises in leaked audio. Tories govt knew they "can't any longer rely on sending people back to the place where they first claimed asylum". This wasn't on the side of the red bus. Brexit has weakened the UK.
