Have you read my Bluesky history? Calling a person you don’t know dishonest seems a bit disrespectful to me.

I’m not often lost for words but…

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

As we hear about yet another mass shooting in the US, it's worth remembering that I described the UK ban on handguns as "ludicrous" and said our gun laws were "repressive".

I know it's hard for a lot of Labour supporters to accept but it's true: silence and equivocation in the face of racism, failure to employ all legal means to defeat it, is de facto collusion. It just is. And it has to be condemned, not denied or excused.

Left: Netanyahu, "From the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea, that will always remain in Israel's hands" Right: Keir Starmer says the chant from the river to the sea is an anti-semitic chant

This clip from 2019 of Matt Frei asking Farage about Arron Banks funding his lifestyle is wild considering recent events. He’s not only walking with convicted Russian asset, Nathan Gill, but at the end when again asked who’s paying for it all, he says: “Russians!” youtube.com/shorts/nRAkR...

I think that Strictly tonight wasn’t fair on certain contestants. People used to the stage were brilliant - but that’s their job.

'Him and his minions would be hanging outside Jewish prayers.' 'Banter doesn't exist if you're not friends with that person.' Stefan Benarroch explains his interactions with Nigel Farage at school, and what he has made of the Reform leader’s response to the allegations. @natashadevon.bsky.social

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing

"He so exactly reminds me of the Farage that said those things back then." Peter Ettedgui says he has to switch off the TV when the Reform leader is on because of how much it reminds him of his schooldays.

Thank God for Bluesky: A little love letter to the people who would not compromise with Nazis iandunt.substack.com/p/thank-god-...

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Not a single tech platform believes they are high risk for suicide or self-harm content, according to a bombshell Ofcom report.

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

The BBC have brought this on themselves. They have platformed him at every opportunity. Look forward to Chris Mason’s opinion on how the BBC should react following on from his personal views on how government figures have lied and mislead the public.

Anybody seen this reported in the media, considering the hysteria around small boat arrivals I'd expect this to be front page news. How is Labour expected to get its message across when our media wilfully refuses to report any positives.

If I was part of the media circus who called Rachel Reeves a liar after the budget and then moved onto calling her a liar about her success as a school girl chess player I'd be cringing with embarrassment when the OBR and the British Chess Championship corrected their lies.

Chickens coming home to roost BBC. He doesn’t need them now his press conferences are covered live by news channels. Non of his claims can be fact checked or corroborated live so, like Trump, he can say what he wants and get away with it.

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

This little timeline, from Monday to Wednesday this week, tells us all we need to know about Chris Mason: simply contradict yourself without contrition when the truth has found you out. 3 days, 3 screenshots from BBC News….

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Kemi Badenoch asks why the head of the OBR had to resign over the Budget leak but not Rachel Reeves Starmer: "Last year they left us with a £22bn blackhole. This year, the OBR did a productivity review on their record in office, costing an extra £16bn" #PMQs

Mason found a way to circumvent the BBC rules on social media by voicing them in mainstream news programmes. Even more effective for influencing opinion?

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post. "Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Big change by Chris Mason on BBC News at 6. Instead of giving his personal views (News at 1) he is now speaking for the viewers. I pay his wages. HE DOES NOT SPEAK FIR ME!

Didn’t realise Chris Mason was a football commentator.

Chris Mason has openly told viewers (BBC News at One) his personal view of Rachel Reeves. I do not watch the News and pay a licence fee to listen to the view of a man I don’t have any respect for. I want to form my own opinions and I’m quite capable of doing so. He overstepped the mark.

The OBR is supposed to be independent but by publishing a letter to the government it has generated headlines detrimental to it. Is it saying that a democratically elected government must conform to it says? It leaked the budget ffs. This is not a game.

Badenoch is an absolute disgrace.

Strictly tonight is the best ever 💃🕺👯

For completeness: Paul Singer’s spokesman dismissed these claims:

This is Robbie Gibb’s BBC declaration. He says he owns 100% of the Jewish Chronicle. If that is the case, where did the money come from?? What potential conflicts of interests does he have? When is he going to answer these questions? And who is going to ask them? 4/

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests. According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle. 1/ www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Congratulations to Chris Mason for being nominated for 'Political Journalist Of The Year' in the London Press Club Awards. He was nominated for his "fearless commitment to unbiased, objective reporting" by a Mr N Farage of Clacton.
