"I've been travelling to London quite a bit, the train from Leeds to London [takes].. about 2hr 15min. Not so long ago I travelled from Leeds to Birmingham" The audience laughs. They know whats coming. @mothinali.bsky.social on yet another govt promising they'll improve transport in the north

@mothinali.bsky.social : "the only thing that Labours managed to change is from being a Labour Party into a Tory Party.. thats why people are looking for alternatives, people are so fed up of the two party system.. its time for us to have proper investment in our society"

"Anything that Trump is saying at the moment should worry us all, and this is where Keir Starmer should be showing some leadership, he should be showing some backbone and actually standing up to Trump" @mothinali.bsky.social on the US threatening Greenland

Israel has killed a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank. Their justification? He had a rock in his hand. What kind of regime thinks its ok to murder a child for throwing a stone in a place its illegally militarily occupying? We know the answer. Genocidal apartheid Israel

Hind Khoudary reports on the scale of destruction in Gaza, the vast amount of rubble and debris in the strip & the challenges faced in trying to clear it.

So far today Israel has murdered a Palestinian woman & child. Yesterday they murdered at least 10 Palestinians The point of the 'ceasefire' isn't to stop Israel killing Palestinians but to allow countries to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & to reverse any actions already taken

"Where is the ceasefire?" asks Raafat. "My daughter was sitting in that corner studying for high school... we kept digging until we reached her. My daughter had been killed"

Al Jazeera reports on the 32 Cubans murdered by the United States when they kidnapped the president of Venezuela. And a reminder that "The Bay of Pigs marked the only time in history when a Latin American army and militia successfully repelled a US backed invasion"

"Within half an hour we're surrounded by a team of ICE officers.. a while later they're back again. Still no laws have been broken" Part of a report by @marthakelner.bsky.social on the way local people, businesses and communities are organising to resist ICE

Bahrain has just sentenced left wing opposition leader Ebrahim Sharif to 6 months in prison after he criticised the kingdoms ties with Israel. Yesterday at the UN they called on the Iranian govt to promote and protect human rights.

Nick Timothy doing the media round for the Tories this morning. A reminder that Timothy was an adviser to Theresa May as she designed & implemented policies that targeted black people, wrongly denied them welfare & NHS treatment, cost them their jobs & homes, & deported them.

Pat McFadden claims Reform are a right wing project (clearly) and Labour are a centre left govt (ha!) And a reference to what will be Labours entire strategy at the next election - vote Labour or get Reform.

Simón Bolívar fought to liberate huge parts of South America from the rule of a far away empire. Machado evokes his memory as she tries to justify her own vassalage to the United States. I can imagine how this goes down with people in Venezuela.

The US reminds the UN that in 1979 the US embassy in Tehran was attacked & Americans were taken hostage for over 400 days He forgets to mention that within a few years the US was secretly arming Iran in order to raise $ to fund paramilitary death squads in central America

"Some 20 former Tory MPs have joined Reform... the risk? His party looks like a home for Conservatives so soundly defeated at the last election, not a radical change"

The US tells the UN security council: "President Trump has been clear, he will not.. tolerate innocents being slaughtered in the streets"

"Nigel Farage can't even run a 5-a-side team, so he is not going to be able to run the country. They are not a serious party... they are not the answer" #GMB plays a recording of Robert Jenrick on Nigel Farage & Reform

The US tells the UN security council that it's on the side of unarmed people peacefully protesting on the streets.

"They haven't even started the 1st phase yet.. they've been bombing since this morning.. they don't want to open the crossings, they want to starve the Palestinian people however they can" The response of one Palestinian to news that the US is starting phase 2 of the 'ceasefire'

Charles Stratford reports on Palestinians trying to rebuild their homes (difficult when Israel is blocking the entry of the materials and equipment needed)

Asked about all the govt u-turns, Wes Streeting says debates should be held before decisions are taken rather than after & thats what the govt is going to start doing. We were told these people were the grown ups.

Wes Streeting is asked about social care. Streeting says he's gripping the challenge Naga Munchetty asks, how? What we need is a publicly funded & free at the point of use National Care Service. Instead Streeting boasts the govt has increased the disabled facilities grant

"Stop talking about.. social care. Get on & do it" Nicola Ranger from the Royal College of Nursing with a message to Streeting. What we need is a publicly funded & free at the point of use National Care Service. The problem is, Labour have ruled it out.

Laila Cunningham, Reforms candidate for London Mayor, says Sadiq Khan doesn't receive abuse because of his ethnicity or religion and London needs more flags #GMB

James Schneider on the ban on violent racist Israeli football hooligans #GMB

"Thousands of people affected by the Windrush scandal.. will have their claims processed quicker" Its a scandal that this hasn't been sorted out for people already.

A #GMB report on 'corridor care'.

Caroline and Lisa, who both lost children in the Manchester Arena bombing, are meeting the PM today to tell him not the water the Hillsborough Law down by excluding MI5 and MI6 from duty of candour (in other words still allowing them to lie)

Susanna Reid: "Mandatory digital ID, why was it a good idea last September & just a couple of months later ditched as a bad idea?" Heidi Alexander pretending that the government hasn't u-turned on this, and making herself look either stupid or dishonest in the process #GMB

Rachel Reeves: "You get promises and they're not delivered. We're putting money into this, £1.1bn in the next couple of years... I want to give confidence to people that this is actually going to happen"

A crackdown on protesters that wont be condemned by our government.

Heidi Alexander rejects the idea the govt has performed lots of u-turns & talks about trust in politics & delivering on promises erm.. the govt is led by the most duplicitous politician in my life time and we've got a cabinet full of unprincipled hypocrites

Heidi Alexander: "This is a really exciting moment for the north of England" Forgive me if I'm not excited by an untrustworthy govt announcing unfunded plans that won't start for years & won't finish for decades. As Sophy Ridge asks, "is this going to happen?".

Northern Powerhouse Partnership: "We can be trusted to deliver great British infrastructure.. whether it be funded publicly or privately, whether it be delivered privately or publicly" Is George Osborne still involved with the NPP? Just checked. Yes he is (he's co-president)

#BBCBreakfast reporting on the latest attempts by the Labour govt to water down the Hillsborough Law. They really are despicable.

Kevin Maguire: the idea of digital ID's was pushed on the government by Tony Blair and the Tony Blair institute #GMB

"That the threat of execution, the Times picking up on the fate of Erfan Soltani, a 26yr old set for execution by Irans regime.. he's become something of a cause celebre because he looks sort of a western identifiable man" A revealing comment.

On his way up Keir Starmer pretended he was on the side of ordinary people & he'd take our water back into public ownership. But once at the top he dropped that commitment & now sides with the profiteering water companies. And whoever succeeds him this year will be just the same

#GMB: "Good morning Britain, Labour u-turns on its big plans for mandatory digital ID" Remember when we were told the grown ups were back in charge & Keir Starmer was forensic.

So it is possible for a news presenter to dismiss a regimes justification for its actions as lies.

Cooper refused to say if the UK would uphold an ICC arrest warrant, the UK refuses to meet its genocide convention obligations & stop arming Israel, & it refuses to take any actions as Israel continues killing Palestinians She means a western consensus to keep backing genocide

Israels using the pretext of permits to restrict the access of Palestinian children to education in the occupied West Bank Xavier Abu Eid explains some of the schools targeted are older than the state of Israel & these attacks are part of wider attempts to destroy Palestinian identity

Displaced people in Gaza are dying from hypothermia & the collapse of damaged buildings they are forced to shelter in. Israel doesn't just kill Palestinians with bullets and bombs

"What about university tuition fees then? Will you remain committed to scrapping them?" Starmer "They're all pledges Andrew, so the answer to these questions is yes." "So university tuition fees being scrapped will be in a Starmer manifesto?" "Yes. That's why it's a pledge."

South East Waters boss was paid £400k last year & he pocketed a bonus of over £100k. At the same time customers bills went up 20% Why is our govt siding with the profiteering water companies that rip us off? We need to get rid of them & take our water back into public ownership

"Is the govt following Trumps playbook?" @chrismurraymp.bsky.social : No "Doesn't it have shades of what Trump is doing with ICE.. in America?" "There's no parallel at all.. we have got to stop these boat crossings. Last year 14 children drowned" So create more safe managed routes

"The govt is delaying the next stage of the Hillsborough Law until next week because of a backlash among Labour MPs over attempts to water down a duty of candour for the security services"

Kaja Kallas: 'Every week Israeli bombs plunge Palestinian cities into darkness. Destruction & death are Israel's answer to diplomacy. The bitter reality is this war might carry on for a long time unless we collectively put more pressure on Israel to stop it' Of course she didnt say that

Netanyahu says "we didn't carpet bomb"

#GMB highlighting 'corridor care'. We need to end the internal market in the NHS, increase the budget & put that money into hospitals & GP surgeries & staff, not diverting it to private healthcare, profiteering outsourcing companies and PFI mark two.
