Is this Bubba/Bill Clinton thing true? If it is, I swear, that will be the greatest story ever told. We may as well stop writing books, jokes, snarky posts, films, sitcoms, everything. Because nothing could ever top that 🤣

Liz Truss confirms that, yes, she will be taking part in this year's American Idol, and that she feels 'confident':

Newsom's latest troll 😆

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Danny, I think you're lying. People of 'financial worth' don't just pop their money in a series of cash bags to their local Barclays branch every Friday, do they? Dick. #bbcqt

Ken was campaigning in my mate's area a fair while ago, now. My friend said, sorry, but that he'd never vote Tory. So they talked about economics for about 5 minutes, then spent the next 25 talking about jazz 👍 #bbcqt

Kruger beaming his opinions here from 1950s Britain #bbcqt

The global economic situation is, tbh, insane. Changing daily. We started off last week by not having the US president trying to break up one of our national institutions. Now we do. I don't know how anyone can keep to the same fiscal plan as last year #bbcqt

You get better public services by paying for them, Danny. Not exploiting funding & tax loopholes, stuffing them full of middle managers, and sucking the money out of them for private interests & shareholders. Its a joke to think Reform won't do the same but worse #bbcqt

Sultana is really going off piste, sadly. Well-meaning but the Far Right are suing the BBC, have been pretty much running & destabilising the place for 10 years, and you have Kruger sat right there. But attacking Labour at the moment, isn't doing her any favours #bbcqt

Creepy sallow-faced guy couldn't be more of a plant if he sprouted leaves and had feelers in place of hands #bbcqt

Kruger's really taking the piss now. Reform are never off the BBC. And now is standing up for a sex offender. That's all you need to know #bbcqt

Ask Rory Stewart about Kruger. Stewart worked with him and tells a bitter story of a truly untrustworthy, despicable little worm. Zero honour. Two-faced. Thick as all-get-out too #bbcqt

Nice cutaway to Kruger, there #bbcqt

Ken is 10 times the man Kruger is #bbcqt

#bbcqt Doc Jackson is a top bloke and a great researcher... yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

Press have just reported that one 'Donald Obama Trump' has stepped forward to apologise for his appearance in the Epstein files, adding: "sorry for any inconvenience and confusion. My bad."

Has Alan Dershowitz rescheduled his live broadcast, yet?

"...and laughing at Hitler because he only had one ball and a micro-willy is the kind of woke propaganda that I don't pay my licence fee for..."

Meanwhile...

I'm guessing the Robbie Gibbs of this world would've preferred one of his 'faithful' handled tonight's #Newsnight. But no one could have judged it all so very perfectly as @vicderbyshire.bsky.social. That was a stunning move between incredibly difficult subjects. She's the best they've got.

Inspector Pranet #GibbsGimp

Zeffman is basically a Nick Watt transporter malfunction #politicslive

The Tory might as well be reading out her own party's record here #politicslive

On the facts: the Jan 6 Committee found Trump the “central cause” of the insurrection; aides’ testimony backs it. Panorama’s substance aligned; the cut removing his lone “peacefully” was an editorial error, not defamation. 11/12 www.congress.gov/117/chrg/CHR...

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

Its how the Right work, these days. Happily, and unashamedly, dropping cronies into key positions & then undermining anything they don't agree with. A Left takeover of the BBC would prioritise a balance of views. Which is never good enough for the Right and an anathema to them.

Ed is doing great here. Naming names, I wonder if Kemi's got an answer? (No, she won't) #PMQs

Are there problems? Probably. Kemi, ask Robbie Gibb about why this narrative has handily just popped up? That's the REAL scandal #PMQs

Reminder of this

I'm here all day for @georgemonbiot.bsky.social reading the riot act to the reliably disingenous Bernard Jenkin. Ask him about the 300+% increase in racial abuse the day after the Brexit referendum #politicslive

The BBC executive were infiltrated a while back by very shady characters with links to dodgy financial interests, the establishment press and the hard right Brexit wing of the Tory Party. Its a coup, alright. Always has been.

🚨 The BBC’s Road to Appeasement As the BBC comes under growing criticism for its coverage of Reform, we republish @adambienkov.bsky.social and @baghdaddi.bsky.social’s 2024 investigation into how the corporation's leadership became cowed by the right www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-bbcs-r...

Gibb needs putting out to pasture.

Time to get back to what really matters:

Losing the term 'progressive' is fair enough, it does alienate the floating voter. However, you can demonstrate progression through action & policy. Glasman is right when it comes to the split between ideology & strategy, we are entering a different world. Barry is giving #Newsnight what they want

Seems odd that #Newsnight has the drop on this, as soon as Robbie Gibb gets dragged into the light?

Go get these entitled tw*ts.

Anne Widdecombe, there, proving the Stewart Lee BBC 'balance' rule. Put someone on the show who knows a bit about what they're talking about and someone who's wrong #politicslive

When Donald Jumani Trump talks about wanting to 'make things fair', he usually means that he wants to make them the opposite of that. Happy to help.

Trump claims to be a dealmaker. Well, let's make a deal.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the POS 34x convicted felon, DEADLY INSURRECTIONIST, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Maguire doing a great job on #Skypapers. His counterpart is Sarah Vine, who, as ever, is thicker than a longshoreman's forearm.

The one positive thing I've taken from this evening's shit-show is that people are now openly talking about Robbie Gibb. As Kevin Maguire said: "imagine the furore if Labour had put Alistair Campbell on the board of the BBC..." 🤣

Maxwell getting leniency is one of the disgusting, blatantly corrupt things I've seen #Newsnight

JRM was, of course, happily supporting up for Trump during his sexual assault trial and subsequent guilty verdict. But condemning the BBC when you work on GB News is laughable #Newsnight

Rees-Mogg is seriously out of his depth here. Notably, he wouldn't answer Tett's question, either #Newsnight
