Jesus Christ! How quickly did the host panic when Ed Davey, whilst talking about foreign interference in UK politics, started to use Nigel Farage as an example of a politician who claims to be a patriot, while working against the interests of this country #PoliticsLive

James Cleverly unsurprisingly missing the point, that time and again it has been shown that a majority of the population actually now want to re-establish closer ties with The EU, as they realise they were sold a pup over Brexit #PoliticsLive #Brexit #Erasmus

More evidence presented of Reform's big talk about DOGE & their ability to magically make massive savings, all being a load of pony Proving the suspicions of many, that the wheels will slowly fall off once they are given the opportunity to actually back up their dubious claims #PMQs #PoliticsLive

A series of lame Christmas puns from Kemi Badenoch, although in response, Starmer simply has to make reference to the endless avalanche of tories jumping ship to Reform, which for him is the gift that keeps on giving #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Keir Starmer: "Merry Christmas to all, and a word of advice for Reform. If mysterious men from the East come bearing gifts, next time report it to the Police." Decent zinger from The PM there #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Donald Trump suing the BBC I'll be quite interested to see if it's deemed as even remotely possible to cause reputational damage to a man who thinks this is an appropriate response, by the President of America, to news of a brutal a double murder #BBCBreakfast #r4today

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results And yet here we are this morning with the vacuous liar Chris Philp on Laura Kuenssberg, yet again Enjoy your ongoing obscurity, tories #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

You'd think Laila Cunningham was a party leader or MP, the amount of air time The BBC gives her It's almost like she's one of the only members of Reform UK (Ltd) who isn't embroiled in some kind of scandal or other #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

What a childish line of questioning from Kemi Badenoch, leader of a party who trashed public services in the UK, changed their leader with alarming regularity, and whose self-serving members are jumping ship to Reform with even greater frequency #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Did I miss the in-depth feature from Chris Mason about even more comrades of Nigel Farage and Reform UK (ltd) being implicated in the Russian bribery scandal? #BBCBreakfast #r4today

"It is my job, after careful examination of the facts, to call it, on your behalf, in careful, precise language" I imagine Chris Mason, our moral guardian, will carefully and precisely be all over that allegation of Nigel Farage and electoral fraud, right? #BBCBreakfast #r4today #ReformUK

Ah, the vacuous Helen Whately, who recently claimed you could get a free car if you have acne I'd have no reason to question the credibility of anything she has to say about welfare #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

A Fall Friday Motown-esque stomper to kick-start the day The Fall - Just Step S'ways youtu.be/oFO70oGChQU?... #FallFriday #TheFall #MusicSky

OFGEM: "In order to protect you from price rises, we are investing in new infrastructure. This will involve some price rises though." The energy companies have already had this money and plenty more besides. Let the shareholders bear the cost #bbcbreakfast #r4today

"The party of child poverty" That would make quite a snappy, not to mention painfully accurate slogan for the tories #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Kemi Badenoch yet again failing to grasp that the issues which the Westminster and media bubble tend to obsess about, quite often the rest of the country don't give a fuck about #PMQs #PoliticsLive

It's all very well talking about Richard Hughes resigning, and demanding Rachel Reeves go too I doubt either of them leaked the budget though Has anyone questioned Kemi Badenoch? All I'm saying is, she's got a history of hacking websites 😆 #PoliticsLive

Chris Mason is a snide, biased weasel who rather than simply report the news, tries to create, influence and manipulate the news agenda, and when that doesn't work out, pursues his own little petty vendettas He needs to follow Robbie Gibb out the door #PoliticsLive

Darren Jones is so much better at this than the majority of his peers Made short work of some very childish questions from Sally Nugent there, and actually made sense in the process It'll never catch on #BBCBreakfast #r4today

I maybe wouldn't claim to be the biggest fan of Rachel Reeves, but to be fair, she showed admirable patience with Laura Kuenssberg as she wrecked a potentially interesting interview in the name of chasing a gotcha The Media in The UK need to grow the fuck up #BBCLaurak #BBCBreakfast

Laura Kuenssberg is an absolute fucker for asking a question, and then just talking over the guest if she starts getting an answer she doesn't want to hear This Rachel Reeves interview being a classic example of that #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast

And the man who pretends he knows it all Is destined to a Mighty Fall The Fall - M5 #FallFriday #TheFall #MusicSky youtu.be/F0JzcqyVKTo?...

All this juggling with budgets, tax & benefits etc, is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic Nobody will be genuinely better off until they are brave enough to tackle obscene corporate profiteering, which is the real reason people are worse off #BBCBreakfast #r4today

Rachel Reeves announces she is freezing Russian assets Pictured 📸 : A frozen Russian sset #Budget2026 #PoliticsLive #PMQs

Chris Mason, having managed to obtain an advanced, leaked copy of The Budget #PoliticsLive #Budget2026 #PMQs

I didn't realise there was a Budget today They kept that quiet #PoliticsLive #Budget2026 #PMQs

All these accusations that Nigel Farage is a racist and hates all foreigners seem a little far-fetched I mean, he clearly loves The Russians #bbcbreakfast #r4today

Laura Kuenssberg has just managed to host an hour long political programme, without a single mention of one of the main parties being implicated in a Russian bribery scandal How is that even fucking possible? #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

Jeremy Hunt tells Laura Kuenssberg he is not in favour of helping lift children out of poverty Who could have predicted that? Apart from absolutely everyone #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

Zack Polanski having the temerity to talk about addressing the appalling inequalities that exist within The UK, which shouldnt even really need a debate, and yet you can already hear the piss boiling of all the right people #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

Yet again, wasting vast amounts of time speculating on and criticising a budget that hasn't even happened yet, while Laura Kuenssberg gets all giddy repeating the phrase 'fiscal fandango' The media in this country is a joke Now, about Nathan Gill... #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

Reform are normally part of the furniture on the Laura Kuenssberg show, but are conspicuous by their absence this weekend, and from the media rounds in general Nothing's happened has it? #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast #NathanGill

The media recently has been very keen to tell us all how Nigel Farage and Reform are primed to form the next govt in The UK Let's hope they're as vociferous in letting the world know about the Nathan Gill Russia bribery story, and how tainted this party is It may well run much deeper...

"Made with the highest British attention to the wrong detail." The Fall - The Classical youtu.be/cKRSzztJ6_0?... #FallFriday #TheFall #MarkESmith

RIP Mani That's one almighty, unexpected gut punch The Stone Roses obvs have their place in musical history, but just as importantly, in a business full of all sorts of fake folk, he always seemed one of the most genuine and likeable blokes out there

I like the way the BBC invite Andy Burnham on by pretending they're interested in what's happening in Manchester, when really they just want him to slag off the govt and say he's running for leader Burnham not playing ball though, to his credit #bbcbreakfast #r4today

No matter how dull or bleak the subject matter, you can always rely on Lee Anderson to bring a little light relief to #PMQs Perhaps not in the way he intended, but nevertheless it's a valuable public service he provides #PoliticsLive

Whether you agree with their policies or not, seems strange how Denmark can make sweeping changes to manage immigration, while remaining in The EU It's almost like many voted to leave for nothing, having been endlessly lied to by Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and co #politicslive

According to Laura Kuenssberg, this week has been a 'shambles' because of a leadership challenge that never happened and an income tax rise that was never formally announced Yet both were speculated on endlessly Maybe the media is the real problem? #BBCLauraK #bbcbreakfast

Chris Philp. Again! This guy bankrupted several businesses, backed Liz Truss's mini-budget, reckons the Rwanda scheme worked and is a proven liar Yet the tories still think people will take a word he says seriously That's impressive levels of delusion #BBCLauraK #BBCBreakfast

Laura Kuenssberg immediately goes into defensive, panic mode as soon as there is any mention of any current issues facing the UK having been caused by her tory chums in the previous govt #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast

In case you were wondering how it's going, the media is spending the morning asking government ministers to speculate on the fact that their own previous speculation might have been wrong Quality journalism #bbcbreakfast #R4today

Lisa Nandy: "The BBC is entirely independent of Government and Politics..." #bbcbreakfast #r4today

Quite a mealy-mouthed apology from The BBC, considering the damage they've done There had never been so much as a hint of impropriety before this, and now Donald Trump's reputation as a man of decency, honesty and integrity lies in tatters Shame on you #bbcbreakfast #r4today

I noticed The Unutterable had just racked up its 25th anniversary last week Mind you, there is probably nearly always a time that represents some kind of Fall anniversary or other This is a cracker anyway The Fall - Two Librans #FallFriday #TheFall #MusicSky youtu.be/UuBUeaTDeyU?...

"I'm sorry Ed Miliband, we're just not interested in your positive, good news stories. We have a clear editorial directive at The BBC to talk the country down at every opportunity, so let's just move on to other subjects please." #bbcbreakfast #r4today

Ed Davey points out that the last Govt are responsible for the decline of impartiality at The BBC, & correctly highlights the presence of Robbie Gibb as one of the ongoing sources of the problem Also calls out Farage for his role in egging on Trump #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Kemi Badenoch talking about people waiting in the wings, wanting other people's jobs How's Robert Jenrick btw? No reason... #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Chris Mason rocks up for the shit-stirring, unfounded speculation and anonymous tittle tattle slot, to the surprise of absolutely nobody Not the smartest week to do it The BBC really has become its own worst enemy #PoliticsLive

Ed Davey is correct Robbie Gibb should be nowhere near BBC News His political connections with the tories should have prevented his appointment in the first place, and his involvement with the Jewish Chronicle's fake news scandal should have seen him gone #PoliticsLive
