There has now been 9 episodes of #BBCQT since it returned from its summer break A Reform representative/mouthpiece has appeared on 5 of them: Kruger - Nov 13 Goodwin - Oct 30 Dorries - Oct 23 Yusuf - Oct 9 Tice - Sept 25 But please tell me more about the BBC’s left wing bias

Kind of familiar. Isn't it.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

"It is striking that Calgie’s apology went down far worse with the population of X than his original offence. Perhaps the conservative soul has changed. But if the right’s problem is ideological hygiene, then perhaps it’s because it’s swimming in an open sewer."

Farage - What should I do now Sir? Putin - Avoid hotels with balconies, and never go to Salisbury.

A few years back, before Russian money bought folk like him, our country deemed such activities as traitorous. I’m old enough to remember the Anthony Blunt scandals and many other secret sharing. Now we just accept the dosh and elect them to power. The system is broken

This scandal has only seen minimal changes since the election, although some regulations have been tightened. Still not enough for them to remain greedy private companies with enriched shareholders the rest of us pay for.

Such a wonderful little station, where great tea is served and glorious steam engines and their colourful coaches call. A delight on a hill side, beautiful Abergynolwyn

British.

Nigel Farage announces plan to deport legal immigrants. Will split families. Will resisters end-up in concentration camps? Plans to deny welfare benefits to those who worked, paid taxes. Produces false financial savings numbers. Will the next road to Auschwitz go through Clacton?

Nearly 18 yrs of paying taxes, volunteer work, being a member of my community. And the most worrying thing is that those who are supposed to have the loudest counter voices, talk about how he's got the numbers wrong rather than calling this out as being morally reprehensible and fascist-adjecent.

It's a racist lie, all of it, every word. The claims it is based on are false in fact, and repellent in morality. Merely having said it out loud without being unanimously howled down marks another moment of shameful descent for us as a nation.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

And still we allow the greedy shareholders and CEOs to continue. All the while we pay the price for their failures. If only we had elected a government with integrity and determination to end this mess.

These obscenities continue despite efforts to add teeth to regulators. Billionaires don’t give a damn, constantly taking more, using money to seek loopholes to prevent them spending on basic infrastructure, while we pay over the odds. Stinks 😷

Tesla boss Elon Musk wants to overthrow UK govt. Big pharma wants the NHS to pay higher drugs prices or else. Banks warn govt not to levy higher taxes on them, cut worker wages they say. People bear cost of corporate pollution, abuses. Choice - Curb corporate power and slavery or democracy.

🔴 NEW - Why you should leave X Here’s the sad truth: Twitter no longer exists. X is something else entirely. It’s a megaphone for extremism, controlled by a deranged oligarch. 📝 latest Substack 👇🏻

Not just progressives. Anyone who isn't a straight up fascist.

And here are the front pages of papers now canonising Connoly, on the recent one-year anniversary of the Southport massacre. Mail found space for Dorries' hair loss, Telegraph for "Toddler kills cobra". None of them had room for Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9.

I feel nothing but shame and disgust at my nation's flag being turned into a weapon and a threat.

Foreign billionaires circumvent laws and pump millions into British politics. Unincorporated associations, shell companies, companies controlled from abroad used. The aim: produce govts subservient to corporations and the rich. End corruption. Give democracy a chance. Ban all political donations.

England's water companies circumvent rules on exec pay. Yorkshire Water boss was paid extra £1.3m via offshore parent firm. UK company law is weak The payment not disclosed in annual accounts. End the circus. Nationalise water.

Time is fast running out. Massive impact on agricultural production and loss of jobs as the plant closes. Cheap fuel from Trump doesn’t make a good environmental policy.

Collusion, pure and simple. Anything to prop up the system while we pay for the consequences, and still they close branches and communities.

In this video, I explain why Rachel Reeves’ beloved fiscal rules are nothing but political theatre. They’re arbitrary, endlessly changeable, and stop us investing in what matters. It’s time we governed for people, not ratios. youtu.be/IfH8L1DZF0w?...

On 6 Aug 2024 OFWAT announced fines: £104m for Thames Water £47m for Yorkshire Water £17m for Northumbrian Water Amount paid - ZERO. When pressed, Minister says TW should pay by 20 August 2025. Others? Water companies have criminal convictions and are indulged Corporate capture of the state.

I asked the Govt "how many criminal convictions have been secured by regulators against Southern Water since privatisation." The Minister won't answer (see link below). Between 1989 and 2024 SW had 119 convictions Does the Minister not know or doesn't want to put the data on parliamentary record?

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the rights of right wing activists who deliberately spread fear and hate, can be welcomed. Wow, what a world!

These sentences also likely breach Article 3 of the Human Rights Act which protects people from torture and degrading treatment - just think about that and it’s happening in this country right now

Private equity looting the NHS. Five firms - Newmedica, Optegra, SpaMedica, CHEC and ACES made £169m profit from cataract contracts. Profit margin for NHS work is 32% to 43%. Highly leveraged firms. Public purse pays their interest charges. Public money buys less. Privatisation ripping-off people

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

This is exactly why I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel & completely irresponsible plan

Gen Z, young millennials battling “negative wealth”, debt burdens that limit their life chances. Real wage cuts, corporate profiteering; frozen income tax thresholds, high housing, energy, water, grocery prices, take their toll. What future? Millions condemned to misery by political choices.

Dear @severntrentwater.bsky.social I’ve just received my water bill increased from £325 to £406. You now want it all upfront, whereas previously 2 payments were able to be paid. This massive increase for your poor performance is not warranted. Think again

Prem Sikka is a legend, one of the few much needed voices for progressive politics in a room stuffed with proponents of neoliberalism.

But her emails

An overused term on social media, but @munirawilson SCHOOLS Lord Frost on #Brexit here - and it is glorious! DF: "Anyone can come up with anecdotes." MW: "These are not anecdotes, but cold hard facts. Your Brexit is damaging our economy - which your gov't left on its knees." ~AA

What a petulant, small-minded, thin-skinned, petty little turd. He longs to be a Strong Man. He comes across as a whining little shit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Thank goodness attempts to curb his lies are being challenged.

This Byline Times story on Farage pictured with far-right activists has not been picked up by any established media outlet - including liberal/democratic/left publications. Why? Because people like being comfortable in their own power and status. The newspaper I edit will keep sounding the alarm.

Absolutely never ever trust a lying Tory.

Where’s Clement Attlee when you need him.

Reeves has claimed that sustainable aviation fuel will make an expanded Heathrow green. There is literally no truth in that, but there is a lot of evidence for my suggestion that her relationship with reality is limited. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01...

So Stand Up to Racism just had their post removed from Facebook for pointing out Musk’s Nazi salute. This is Zuck’s free speech!

Sick of paying shareholders for failing in their duties. Time for payback

Tories. They never change. Always lining their own pockets. Pick up a copy of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

How the hell does this happen. Once bitten, twice shy, used to be the way. This debacle has been highlighted for years by Private Eye, yet here we are, ignoring facts. The 💩 continues
