The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Liz Truss due to her brief stint as PM receives a lifetime pension worth £100,000 annually and £1 million in 24 hour year round security. Funded by the taxpayer to spend all her time talking down the UK.

A really interesting listen for anyone who wants to get beyond the surface of the budget. My summary - we're pretty stuffed because over the last couple of decades we've underinvested (austerity) and made stupid decisions (brexit). We need to think long term. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Do you rely on others for support? From the new Private Eye, out now.

As soon as a UK government of any party appoints a brown female politician as a Home Secretary my heart sinks because I know the only way she has reached that position is a willingness to cheerlead the most racist , cruel inhumane policies that no senior white male MP would dare to announce.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

The right: "Immigrants don't make an effort to integrate into UK society.and culture." Also the right: "Make immigrants wait 20 years for citizenship, meaning they could be deported at any time and will have to spend two decades in limbo, not knowing whether the UK is their home? Yep, great idea."

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Look guys I’ve spent the last day playing this over and over again. Don’t read the comments first and stick it through to the second verse. It is in fact one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

Can someone with a Telegraph subscription have a look for what they wrote in Jan 2021 and see if they blamed Trump for the violence? I'll bet they did somewhere.

Labour + green + lib dem + SNP = 51%. The narrative that Reform represent the "silent majority" is rubbish. If Reform get in it will only be through a total failure of the FPTP system.

So trump's going to sue Boris Johnson now is he?

Straight up racism.

Pundit critics: “We need to disrupt orthodoxies!” BBC (just occasionally) runs some daring coverage Same critics: “no, not my orthodoxies!”

"They are so convinced their politics isn’t really politics, but just some default setting shared with much of the country..." True of so many commentators on the Right.

Oh dearie me! How shocking? Any ideas of just who, exactly, may have betrayed small business owners? I guess we’ll never know.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

My family used to have a contest at this time of year where we all chose a leaf from our garden tree and the person whose leaf remained on the tree longest was the winner. One year we discovered Mum had snuck out and sellotaped her leaf to the tree, and I still have so much respect for that.

Reach has apologised and will pay "substantial damages" to Bob Vylan frontman Pascal Robinson after the Manchester Evening News wrongly reported he had "performed Nazi salutes on stage" pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

Gary Lineker expresses an opinion, entirely separate from his BBC job. The right: "He must be punished, BBC staff must be entirely impartial. Woke nonsense." Martine Croxall expresses an opinion live on air while reading the news. The right: "She's been punished? Outrageous. Woke nonsense."

Searchlight has argued before that the threat from far-right extremism in the UK now outstrips that coming from radical Islamists. Latest Home Office figures from the Prevent programme support that view. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2025/11/twic...

2023: Keir Starmer, "If you don't like the changes we've made the door is open and you can leave" 2025: Labour, "Please come back"

Chris Philp opens by gymnastically framing the train attack with relation to asylum seekers, concludes that the reason for knife crime is foreigners in prison, then LOSES HIS RAG when LibDem Home Affairs spox @maxwilkinson.bsky.social pulls him up on it. "Withdraw! Withdraw!" Utter clown. 🤡 ~AA

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Hear me out.... what if Andrew goes to the US and in some hearing while trying to give a clever bullshit (such as the "can't sweat" thing), he accidentally makes some revelation about Epstein that brings down Trump? We're due a bit of luck, aren't we?

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Hold the line, Dems.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

There is something deeply DEEPLY wrong with the way the media report this stuff.

So, fascists then, just stylistically British fascists.

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Reform are into Day Three of Racismsplaining. It's harder than it looks. thecritic.co.uk/easy...

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

Mari Novik, FT, "When did you two first get to know each other?" Nigel Farage "No" Turning to Ellie-Ann Reynolds he says, "Let's keep our personal life out of this.. Sorry, got to have some fun doing it"

This is the most insane response to a normal post I've ever seen

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

He is vulnerable yes, he also doesn’t stand up to scrutiny very well at all. He starts clutching his pearls in a very matronly faux outrage way. He isn’t very good it’s just people rarely take him on .

They actively pursued policies they knew were unlawful and in breach of human rights and international law, deliberately ignoring their duties to asylum seekers under the Refugee Convention. If this constitutes a crime, we need to see ministers in the dock for it.

It speaks volumes about the dire state of British politics that an MP can say that she gets mad about seeing Black and Asian people in adverts on TV and she hasn't immediately been expelled from her party - a party that hopes to form the next Govt.

Lewis Goodall pressing Chris Philp on the difference between what Sarah Pochin said and what Robert Jenrick said about 'white faces'.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
