Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.

A firestorm has ripped through the BBC, but no one can quite put their finger on why. An analysis of yesterday's curious hearing into an undoubted PR coup by those who wish the BBC ill www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

A slow snowy walk 🌲 Patreon Print pals get this postcard in the post (say that three times fast).

A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨

For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I also write about how little the floods have been covered in national newspapers, and how appalled I am that the Prime Minister has said nothing to the people of Monmouthshire directly. Please read and share. www.thenerve.news/p/storm-clau...

On the anniversary of the day Margaret Thatcher resigned, let us take a moment to remember what a cruel, heartless piece of shit she was.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want. They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us). Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country). Time we woke up to the betrayal. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-confid...

The same people who convinced the British public to back a catastrophic Boris Johnson premiership are now pulling the same trick again with Nigel Farage www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-confid...

I apologise for this, but I need everyone to join me in a rousing internal chorus of Where's the money from? to the tune of chirpy chirpy cheep cheep. Because I shouldn't suffer alone and the Mail's last bid for the telegraph was funded by Qatar and Abu Dhabi I think

Swiss gold and Rolex gifts to Trump arouse ‘disgust’ in Europe Billionaires gave desk clock and engraved gold bar weeks before Trump slashed tariffs on imports from Switzerland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Amazing isn’t it.. Farage claimed he never met Nathan “Was For Sale Now In Jail” Gill until he was outed Tice same thing Is there anyone else in Reform claiming the didn’t meet him so we can show the did #ReformDodgyAF

Nigel Farage must allow an independent investigation into Reform UK so the British public can be assured that all links to Putin's barbaric regime are rooted out.

This time next week, #EdinburghHour will have kicked off - will you join us in promoting Edinburgh retailers and makers? Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair... it'll be fun!

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately" he and his MAHA movement are child killers

Yes! Why is no-one in government willing to point the finger at Mr Untouchable Farage? It was the self-harming lunacy of his precious Brexit that tore up agreements with our neighbours. This situation is, in large measure, due to his pathetic little England-ism 🤮 www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Don't buy from Shein. Don't be part of feeding the monster.

Morning all, remember that link I shared a couple of days ago about the couple who took in the lovely Ronnie for 45 years? (I'll share the post again in the replies) Well, the paperback is out today from Rob, the chap who took him in, telling the whole story: amzn.eu/d/iWBSPOI

Edinburgh University UCU strike this week protesting redundancies ended with a rally at Holyrood. Great turn out despite the freezing temperatures by staff, students and MSPs 💪 🥶 💪 Steve Clark for Vice Chancellor!

The whole problem with current Labour is encapsulated right here in this paragraph. One hand tries to ameliorate child poverty while the other hand makes it worse. Some of us think immigrants and their children count. That they, too, are people. Some of us don’t.

“We may now be reaching a tipping point where our failure is so severe that Brits and immigrants alike have decided this is not a country they want to live in” The slowest of handclaps to all who made hostility towards immigrants damage this country for everyone. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/405...

Trump has been secretly working with Putin to create a stitch-up peace deal which they will try to force on Ukraine. As for Europe: “We don’t really care,” a senior official told Politico.

I don't think Americans understand this, and really I don't think most of them really understand how important the European "theatre" is to their own national security.

-No -No -No From a wider European POV, seeing the war in Ukraine as a war Ukrainians are fighting on our behalf, this is all totally unacceptable.

Would you Adam & Eve it?

Gosh. The White House does seem to like vile sex traffickers. I wonder why?

I’m old enough to remember when a US President would condemn a murdering tyrant 🤷🏼‍♂️ But now.. who hasn’t killed a journalist.. happens right.. he had it coming.. no biggie if you’re wrong’un with billions, love gold, totally disrespect women, you’re the type of guy President Trump hangs out with 🥴

Never found a rich criminal he won’t support.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Federal judges block Texas from using redrawn congressional maps that would boost the GOP in the 2026 midterm elections.

Really grateful for people like @edwardluce.bsky.social especially now.

Migrants are making people racist so we must stop migrants from migrating Next, we will solve domestic violence by banning marriage. Can't beat a spouse you don't have

Stop pretending these policies are "fair" or "compassionate", half of them aren't even new. Community sponsorship already exists, people can already be denied accommodation if they can support themselves. These policies are just cruelty for political gain, and counterproductive at even that #r4today

Interesting piece about someone at BBC who edited Trump speech www.thenewworld.co.uk/contributor/...

Labour MP Olivia Blake tells Shabana Mahmood that her rhetoric about asylum seekers being handed a "golden ticket" is "deeply offensive" and "feeds division" "and will only strengthen Reform not beat them".

Day 355 of uninterrupted protests in 8+ cities across Georgia. After making fools of themselves for days, police seem to have given up on chasing protesters through the streets and trying to block their every move.

Get fucked, you melt. In The Night Garden is a masterpiece. Along with million other things nobody else would do. 'Current affairs' yeah, like your house in Clacton? Wanker. You are, and always have been, a cultural traitor.
