Not sure how many of these people are trans women ?

I don’t understand - When blood came out of his ear, Trump supporters bandaged their ear too, but when he forgot to go to the toilet and poo came out of his bottom, they didn’t all go to conventions with ploppy trousers - they are just not committed enough

Sorry, this is just playground childishness - as everything is “fake news” to him sometimes the only relief is utter puerility

Unlike Clarkson, or Sugar, Andrew Neil actually fronted BBC politics programmes, at the same time was the publisher of a right-wing Conservative magazine and freely expressed his very right wing opinions on Twitter. Not once did he come under pressure to step down

Jeremy Clarkson regularly wrote political columns backing the Conservatives and conservative views, was personal friends with David Cameron and called the then Labour Prime Minister a "one-eyed idiot" on air. Again, not a problem.

A reminder that when Gary Lineker was under fire a couple of years back for criticising the Conservatives while a BBC presenter, the channel said, by contrast, it was fine for Lord Sugar to repeatedly endorse the Tories because he was "free to say, as a business person, what he wants to say."

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit! 2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit! This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

@sturdyalex.bsky.social where to start with this story. Disappointing to see Sky trying to find an angle for clicks. Myself and my wife ranting and raving at eachother about it and I find myself thinking I need Alex and Naomi's calm reasoned take. news.sky.com/story/the-as...

Is David Seaman about to enter Miss World?

It's been so many years, I forgot what the media were like when there's a non right wing government. The level of resentful entitlement is visible from space

Should have gone on Wednesday. But wanted to get a few scratches and bites in.

A lot of journos got addicted to the years of chaos. It made for clicks and content and that's deeply fucking problematic if we want this country to actually work. Yes - hold the government to account and do it robustly. But partisan news coverage has leaked into mainstream from the GB news sewer.

Woman to woman, I can tell Kemi she’s coming across as that really nasty cow at school who spends her time bitching and bullying other girls and ends up sitting on her own at lunch.

Liz Truss' 1st day at the OBR going well

Farage's racist remaks as an 18 year old were only "banter" if he rejected racism later. But he never has. In fact, without racism, Farage wouldn't have a career! #RacistFarage

@edconway.bsky.social quick question Ed. When would the Chancellor have found out that the OBR intended to do a productivity review? It strikes me that her level of culpability for the budget problems partly swings on this. Obviously she has a certain amount of bad luck in them doing it at all.

Yes he could, but it seems broadcasters are slow to cover stuff that isn’t on the front page of right wing newspapers.

The figures came out every six months for 14 years! It was not about "taking their eye off the ball" - it was a choice not to have any mechanism of accountability for the promises and manifesto pledges

France invades the UK and occupies Kent and Sussex. France and the US come up with a plan, excluding the UK, that enables France to keep Kent and Sussex. F*ck off.

My darling @pimlicat.bsky.social, sister-in-love, giggling consort, podding compadre, and partner in crime, I was so deeply honoured to share that moment with you. No man will ever be good enough, of course, but I happily concede that @paulpettinger.bsky.social is as close as any man could get. 💋

Turns out the media & most of Parliament is as out of touch with reality as Twitter. Dear England.

The one thing the useless incompetent Boris Johnson clung on to for his failed premiership was the UK’s Covid response. Turns out he killed 20,000 people.

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥 Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

Bit of a cock up in the ITV weather graphics dept tonight

So are we convinced we are REALLY a golden ticket for asylum seekers compared with other countries???? Obviously the version of the country the right wing media portray is but I'm doubtful the reality is.

Wild how GB News can spend years screaming about grooming gangs and demanding total transparency on child sexual abuse…but the moment Trump sits down with them, its all smiles It doesn't count when it's rich white men, have I got that right? www.gbnews.com/politics/us/...

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

I simply do not believe they would have resigned if it was a misleading claim about someone on the left. How is this different to the HIGNFY claims about digital ID a few weeks ago? The BBC literally laughed it off.

Sultana's reply. Have also sent Fox a message noting he is becoming more overtly racist. When he apologised for his ignorance about Sikhs in the first world war, he seemed to briefly understand something about the world wars and Remembrance

All too simple. And politics isn't. For Fartrage et al, it's send coffee-coloured people back to where they - or their forebears - came from. For Zack & Co, it's chuck £££ at everything and take it from the "rich". I back increased wealth taxes but the rich are the most mobile demographic. 1/

More tropes. If Starmer was “bending over backwards” to appease Isreal, he would not have recognised Palestine as an independent nation. Too many people are using the slaughter in Palestine to pursue their own political agendas. That’s disgusting too.

Elon Musk's influence on British politics via X is dangerous. Research shows: X's algorithm amplifies right-wing and extreme content. Right-wing voices are dominating, and the algorithm is pushing posts to new users, no matter their political views. https://bit.ly/49BQsWf

This is not only exceptionally good work, it is also presented in a very clear visual way. Bravo, Sky News! news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service. Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

news.sky.com/story/train-... Your appear to have accidentally failed to tell us his ethnicity @skynewsrss.bsky.social

To attribute the revoke ILR policy to a Katie Lam junior minister interview this month is inaccurate. The policy belonged to Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp. He published it in May. Katie Lam cosponsored it & was an esp eager champion of mass retrospective deportations bsky.app/profile/sund...

Nicholas Witchell actually retired 3 years ago. The BBC had enough material to stitch together cloying grovelling reports to see them past the Queen's death using a hologram. He lives a quiet life in Stranraer but briefly came back to make a recording of the word "sweat". The BBC paid million pounds

When Christian Calgie uses "mental health" as a two-word deflection to get himself out of a hole and then sweeps back in days later to resume being a cunt, you can see why the Right just thinks all mental health disability claims are fake until proven otherwise. The accusation is the admission.

This is a good example of the "very clear" rule of political interviews. When a politician says "I've been very clear" it always means they're wildly obfuscating. Never fails.

“the Conservatives had “serious questions to answer” about their role in the affair following “weeks of baseless allegations”.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sums it up pretty well

This, in particular,should chime with any centre right voter or politician. We might add that Lam’s desire to torch previously agreed permanent residence rules will make life very difficult for millions of British citizens settled long term abroad, who rely on foreign govt’s abiding by such rules.

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨 😱Sounds outrageous? You know the drill… If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏 1/25 🧵

Very childish of me BUT sorry, not sorry for sharing this
