Hypocrisy?👇

Hope you cover the story about Reform UK and Russia next week for the same amount of time you laid into Labour tonight. Also Donald Trump called for the execution of Democrats. Would love to hear what Paul and Ian think about that.

Zoe Lyons, "There's such a massive gap now between the rich and poor in this country that if you are genuinely are on lower wages, and inflation is hitting you, it's really bloody hard to survive" "There are people in this country working full time using food banks, that should never happen"

It never stops. The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies. “In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.” They make damn sure they get what they want. We get screwed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

After the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003, Mark Kelly was part of the recovery team. He assisted with searching for the remains of his colleagues and bringing them back home. He's spoken about how it affected him. The president blasphemes America and its heroes almost daily.

Cummings, Johnson. Despicable men, full of their own entitlement.

At least Fiona is apologising for interrupting the Labour panellist this week. Tory gets to speak uninterrupted as usual... #bbcqt.

I find it quite depressing that the young man in the cricket sweater thinks Reform is the answer. I wonder if he realises Reforms policies are to cut the minimum wage and row back on renewables? He won't have much of a future if we only have 50 years of fossil fuels left in the UK. #bbqt

One of the lessons to learn is, not vote for someone "because he makes me laugh" We're not laughing now. #bbcqt

Anyone remember where the £37billion (yes billion) for the failed Track & Trace went? #bbcqt

Yes Reform woman on the panel, the solution was to lock down harder. NZ did & in 4 weeks, after hard lockdown business started opening up. Schools were open throughout. Testing for key workers done day from day 1. More importantly people didn't die as a result of an incompetent Gov. #bbcqt

Tory still trumpeting the vaccine on #bbcqt. While that was a good thing we must never forget that as a result of Johnson & his bunch of incompetents 250,000 people died. One of the worst results in the whole world. He could have followed the leadership of the NZ PM who knew what she was doing.

Was visiting family when NZ locked down. Swift decisive leadership from Jacinda Ardern. Every world leader had the same info at the same time from the WHO. Fortunately NZ had a caring competent leader. We had a bunch of incompetents who cared only for their own entitled partying. #bbcqt

Just putting it out there... When is #bbcqt coming from Clacton?

😎😎😎

Man in the audience It's not so much "a failure of successive governments," as one of the many failures of the last Tory Gov who, * gave us Brexit, meaning we couldn't control our borders using The Dublin Agreement * failed to process asylum seekers * underfunded well, everything. #bbcqt

Johnson was one of those two a penny public schoolboys who memorise a bit of Greek and a chunk of Latin and recite it in the pub... sprinkled with some classical references... while everyone stands around and claps. Not an original idea in his bone head. Not even ersatz PG Wodehouse more PG Twits.

Some meaningful consequences for these incompetents would be welcome. After all their actions resulted in 1000’s of deaths.

At the worst time we had the the worst people in charge. That's it in a nutshell.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Jacinda Ardern in NZ played it right. She locked down quickly, avoided many deaths and was able to partially open up after only 4 weeks to get the economy going. We just had a bunch of incompetents making it up as they went along.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

And who could blame them for it? apple.news/AMmupL6QuQFW...

I'm sure the Londinistan guys will be delighted to read this... really good news... they'll be talking about something else altogether now... sure of it... because they were genuinely concerned weren't they

Possibly the BIGist UBI news of my lifetime so far: "The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)." Scott Santens, Nov 19, 2025

Terrific

First companies get rich selling us crap which makes us fat and riddled with illness. Then other companies get even richer with promises of making us thin and well again. Sounds about right.

Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body . Increased risk of a dozen health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression. Companies know but inflict harms to boost profits. Need effective regulation.

A generation of boys is learning that it's ok to treat women this way, and a generation of girls is learning that no one will stop them when they do.

Seems like a good day to post this... #Refugees #Asylum

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ILLEGAL ASYLUM SEEKER.

Alastair Campbell, "Of the mistakes I have made, the biggest is Brexit..It has made us al weaker and poorer..A campaign won by liars and conmen" From a hypothetical scenario of what AC would do if he was PM

People would do well to listen to @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social on what it means to have a Labour government. You'll be sorry if we lose them. www.instagram.com/reel/DREyv44...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I fact checked this. It doesn’t bode well for Reform’s wish to run a country if they can’t run a council department. 😳

This is my new column for @bylinetimes.bsky.social and we will be meeting many other famous people in the coming months. Available in all good shops etc.

Absolutely thrilled to be able to share this world exclusive with Sarah Ferguson. I'm told that micro payments are accepted... as she needs all the help she can get subscribe.bylinetimes.com/edition/80/o...

Oddly enough despite the ‘toxicity’ alleged in Downing Street, Labour continue to deliver time and again every single day. These 11 are all announcements from this week. Impressive no?

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England. But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it. This is the whole country if he gets into power. (Private Eye)

This is useful. fullfact.org/government-tracker/

Things have moved on in a positive way since the 80’s. Thatcher said there was no such thing as society. Ken is keen that there is 👍 #bbcqt

Nice positive point from the teacher in the audience who said children use SM less than adults & gave us reason to hope. #bbcqt

In response to the 19yr old. The consequences of social media are 1. my blood pressure rises every Thursday at 22.40 2. There’s some fun interactions with other #bbcqt ‘sufferers’ 😁

The rich have the capacity to offshore their wealth. They won’t be leaving. #bbcqt

The evidence was that the coffers were empty after 14 years of the Tories but would anyone have voted for Labour if they had indicated they would put up taxes? #bbcqt

Kruger seems to want to bring back austerity despite evidence that it didn’t work. No wonder the chap in the audience complained about “doom & gloom”. The U.K. has been living with 14 years of underfunding courtesy of the Tories. #bbcqt

Kruger gives evidence to show how inept Reform are. #bbcqt

People in the audience who appear to want to make racist points about grooming gangs will be shocked to hear about these guys. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article.... #bbcqt

From what I can see immigration has propped up our NHS and care system for many years. #bbcqt
