Susan Hall - Leader of the London Conservatives - shared it a few hours later with the words “No no no Tesco they are Christmas trees” I mean she’s not wrong! They ARE Christmas trees and there’s not a person out there who doesn’t know that! 🤷🏼‍♀️ But we need the faux outrage, apparently! 2/

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea. UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations. Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies. Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis. UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Uranium mine owners made huge profits, then the cold war ended, demand dried up, they declared bankrupt + the businesses closed without cleaning up. A pattern which may be familiar to observers of the oil + gas industry today @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social? vimeo.com/ondemand/thi...

What is it about the Home Office which inculcates in Home Secretaries (going back to Blunkett and May) this performative cruelty? And where is any evidence it works? Other than amping up xenophobia does borrowing Trump’s ICE rhetoric actually it have any deterrence effect?

What a traitor. I don’t use the word lightly, she must hate the U.K. She must hate democracy. She must hate everything in life…even herself in her bewildered World.

Risotto is not work. It is meditation, followed by self care.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

More noise about being cruel to desperate people, nothing about dealing with the causes. Again.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

Traitors on the inside, Trump on the outside ... who’d want to run the BBC now? Actually, I would This week’s column by Stewart Lee www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

There’s so much negativity around so c’mon let’s applaud some good news 😁👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Great that personal bribery has become the default way to get deals with the world's richest and most powerful country. Really positive development.

One for the Brits. Epstein wrote a list of names for Steve Bannon. The first one on it is Mandelson

NEW A close look at Trump's $1 billion claim against the BBC The litigation letter is weak, but his underlying practical position is not weak By me: emptycity.substack.com/p/a-close-lo... (Substack) (Non-Substack link to follow.)

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC. The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

They want to take away our BBC. They want to take away our NHS. They want to take away our human rights. They want to take away everything we have that makes life worth living. All for their own greedy enrichment. The f***ing far right, led by Trump and Farage, Badenoch and the rest.

Wow👇🏼👇🏼😱 It’s saying something when Epstein said Trump is the worst person he’d ever met, “not one decent cell in his body.. so yes dangerous” You watch how fast Farage pivots from vigorous defence of his good “friend” Trump to righteous condemnation if it becomes clear he’s toast❗️

"I have met some very bad people....none as bad as trump. Not one decent cell in his body..so yes - dangerous." Jeffrey Epstein 2017

That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC. SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

did the BBC misrepresent..Trump’s role in the attack on the ..Capitol?..the US House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack..found that Trump’s rhetoric & conduct were the “central cause” of the insurrection..report concluded..he..'lit the flame of this attack', language far stronger than..Panorama.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Robbie Gibb, the BBC Board Member with the impartiality remit

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group. U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines. They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Trump's White House & fawning hacks here don't really care about the 0.001% that the BBC gets wrong. They care about all the stuff it gets right.

Tremendous from Ed! No fucking about!

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think. New piece from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

The pro-Trumpian British right-wing media. Actively siding with a US President who tried to overturn a US Presidential election. And where stating the truth for these Trumpian apologists is some sort of bias & crime.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on. All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

Journalist, "Farage accused the BBC of election interference" Ed Davey, "The interference we've seen is from Farage's friend, Putin" "We've seen Russian interference in the most appalling way"

President Trump, "Nobody know what magnets are" Good luck America

The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey

Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News. GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So long as Labour hold firm on Brexit, all their bleating about having been dealt an atrocious hand by the Tories is so much hot air. Support for "Make Brexit Works" holes that argument below the waterline. It is ludicrous to be contemplating tax rises, but not trying to undo Brexit.

Just heard Farage complaining about BBC bias wrt the EU. In his favour I seem to remember! #Brexit has failed

For so many years the rightwing UK media, especially the Murdoch press, has gaslit us that the BBC is leftwing. They think we are idiots and we haven’t noticed stuff like the relentless platforming of Farage.

The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage. (Extracts iPaper)

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

The famously left-wing bias of the BBC. (From The Decade In Tory)

This is what happens when you appease extremists ..

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.
