Why all the dozens of BBC broadcasts featuring families of hostages re entering Israel, and literally none with those "prisoners" (aka hostages) re entering Palestine? This is typical of the issues I have with our national broadcaster.

The disaster that is the modern Tory party. Invent your own ridiculous fictional figures and use them to try and defy the common sense of someone far more switched on than you are.

Latest greenwashing scam, see below. Exactly the same tactic as SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). Adulterate fossil fuel with 2% of something else, then pretend that it's suddenly "green".

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

Richard Tice told The Times in March he had “never met Nathan Gill” searchlightmagazine.com/2025/10/refo...

I see Robert Jenrick is supporting Hamit Coskun who is appealing his conviction by reference to the ECHR (which Jenrick wants to withdraw from). Who knew that the ECHR could be useful, even to the anti-ECHR Hard Right?

OK, so now, thank God, there's (supposedly) a ceasefire in Gaza. So why are Israel continuing with airstrikes? I'm not sure we can trust a Trump/ Netanyahu brokered ceasefire any more than we can trust any more of his other dodgy tricks.

Still an MP. But snout in the trough nevertheless. Are we surprised? Are we **ck.

I find it totally baffling that anyone is surprised by this. Trump is so obviously racist that this is to be expected.

Look at the shocking slur against these four councillors, who took a principled stand, from the "Labour source" - presumably a person ashamed or afraid to reveal his identity. This party has lost all credibility.

Putin's been up to his tricks again.

Many governments have occasionally screwed up, this one does so frequently and is utterly tin-eared when deluged with the inevitable complaints. Doubling down on an error of judgement is a sign of weakness, not strength.

There’s absolutely no difference between the man who attacked the synagogue & the men who attacked the mosque. Extremists looking to sow hate & discord in this country - weak pathetic men who know nothing else then hate

Coming to the UK too if we elect @reformexposed.bsky.social

Why the f doesn't he try being a pleasant, compassionate human being once in a while? You never know, people might start liking him and supporting his party!

Refusing to acknowledge the kidnapping of your own citizens while continuing to provide the kidnappers with components, spy flights, political cover, and training to their army — making our country complicit in war crimes — is particularly egregious.

Given that it was the Green Party conference last week Does anyone know why Zack Polanski wasn't invited onto Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show, or onto Trevor Phillips's Sky News program?

So, Mr Allen Green, replies are disabled, quote posts also disabled.. He's certainly living by his mantra. Confidence in one's posts doesn't get much more fragile than that, does it?

She was arrested for holding a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

They really are disgusting, this lot, there's no depths they won't plumb, no deaths they won't capitalise on to get their perverse agenda done.

90 plus percent of the UK is force fed utter lying shit by the mainstream media and sadly the BBC, they learn to hate all that should be loved and vice versa. A few percent use Doubledown, Novara etc but it's not mainstream and never will be. I think we're stuffed.

If you're waiting for an ambulance in 2025, don't bother. Odds on it may never arrive. I know this in practice. Just get a friend or relatives to take you, or call a taxi.

If Starmer came out and announced: - Closure of X - Full investigation into Nigel Farage's ties to the Kremlin - Leveson 2 - Full review into the BBC's News/Political output - Renaming of GB News to KGB News - Re-entry to the Customs Union His approval rating would be in the plus by next week!

It didn't last long. He's back to saying Farage and Reform are decent people without a racist bone in their body. This is absolutely typical of Starmer, he says what people want to hear at the time, he's a weathervane; when right now we desperately need a signpost.

🎉 Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social has been included in this year’s Time100 Next list, an annual list naming the 100 leaders shaping the future of business, entertainment, sports, politics, health, science and activism.

Not sure about this "both major parties" stuff. Which might they be?

With Labour, I keep hearing "we're just getting started, give us time". Just heard same from Douglas Alexander. You don't "get started" by demonising migrants. Nor cutting benefits for the poorest, not demolishing Aarhus, nor removing protection for wildlife, nor third runways. I could continue.

Isn't it weird how Nigel Farage shares his initials with the National Front? What a strange coincidence, huh?

Well thanks for emphasising the party you belong to, Mahmood, because without that, it would’ve been hard to distinguish you from the Tories or Reform. All seemingly competing to win the “Biggest Bastard to Immigrants” prize. You cannot win against Reform, but competing with them disgraces you.

Labour's answer to Priti Patel, isn't she?

You don’t fight the far right by echoing their language and policies, you become the far right.

As far as I can recall, Keir Starmer has absolutely no sense of humour, other than nasty political barbs. Can anyone show me a Starmer belly laugh joke?

The penny may finally be dropping.

I think we can safely conclude his commitment to protecting the planet wasn't too sincere.

Good god, that wanker Blair is putting himself forward as the new Israeli viceroy of the Gaza Transitional Authority. They will have no autonomy at all. It goes from bad to worse. Seems there's no hope for them.

Starmer showing his true colours, and those of his pals in "Blue Labour" (yeah, doesn't make much sense to me either). Doesn't surprise me.

Zack is doing a fab job for the Greens, he's Marmite, clearly, but he intends to be and I don't blame him, it's what's needed. We may lose a few disaffected ex Tories, but we're gaining far more than we lose from the middle ground. I do wish the message was a bit more about the environment though

If this was Labour or LD it would be all over every BBC news broadcast and newspaper for days. This is why I don't buy papers and no longer have a BBC licence.

The Liz Truss disaster was inevitable. She's stupid, lazy, image obsessed. Maybe we can forgive the Tory membership, many aren't too bright, Truss was a flashy madam, they were given this choice. But you can't forgive the Tory parliamentary party. These supposedly intelligent people voted for her.

Shock horror, nasty racist views from new Reform party member.

NEW: When Labour voters were asked why they believed things were getting worse for the UK, they overwhelmingly cited Brexit as the number one cause, with 69 per cent naming the decision to leave the European Union as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

This is a really important post & article particularly relevant to government proposals to remove Dublin airport passenger cap. Skewers the empty promise of sustainable aviation fuel while highlighting the deep inequity underlying aviation GHG emissions.

We should stop calling it "Reform UK". That unjustly dignifies it. It's not a proper political party, it's a company, wholly owned by Farage. Consequently he can't be removed as leader. It's the Farage Party.

Loathsome individual. Doesn't he think we have enough far right dog whistling in UK politics already? He's intellectually bankrupt, very clearly.

Every word of this should be a source of abiding national shame. This is a *former human rights lawyer* capitulating, eagerly, to an essentially racist notion of how people should be treated, and actively collaborating, from the top of government, in imposing it on the population.

Latest hare-brained gov't scheme: Colossal waste of money; will do nothing to combat any problem in our society. Furthermore it'll be a bloody nuisance for all who dont break the law, and won't affect those who do, since they'll simply forge one. Pointless, like money laundering checks, but worse.

I'm sick and tired of people in politics telling us they 'accidentally deleted' 5000 WhatsApp messages, 'forgot' they owned seven flats, 'couldn't recall' taking a £6m loan or didn't declare £700,000 in donations due to 'administrative error'. What do they take us for?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
