At first it was false balance, the BBC Politics department bending backwards to accommodate Brexit. But now its daily partisanship towards populism, its complete lack of commitment to democracy and transparency, make BBC Politics more a public disservice than a public service

NHS England went out of its way to tell us (www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...) our data was safe. It wasn't. And we are right to worry. Palantir is deeply political. And highly unethical: it paid for a smear campaign against Good Law Project. Did they also access my medical records? My family's?

Just remember. Farage isn’t really winning. He’s having power bought for him by foreign-based crypto billionaires and fossil fuel magnates. They want a corrupt PM who’ll sell off our NHS, bin NetZero and scrap our rights and protections to make more profit for them. Good day for moneymen and morons.

Anyone voting Reform is knowingly voting for corrupt racists who’ll make all of us poorer and less protected, remove our rights, privatise our NHS, increase fossil fuel dependency, shove children into poverty and threaten our communities… Don’t expect to be forgiven. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The beauty of the Empordà Wetlands. Girona. Catalonia. 💙🌳

BREAKING: Keir Starmer launches inspired bid to stay on as prime minister in which he wraps himself in 26 flags, explains he loves drinking pints, and offers the public absolutely nothing. His approval rating falls by another two points 😳

William Shenstone said this in the 1700s. Fits our times rather well.

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I don't get Rayner's "working people" Vs "well off people" when most well off people are working people and they actually seem to be chasing a white northern retired vote in any case. Urban service economy workers and poor graduates seem not to be favoured labour voters

Daniel Devaney, who was elected as a Reform UK councillor for the Clayton and Fairweather Green ward on Bradford Council on Thursday, has resigned his position hours after winning his seat. This is the reality of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

And still the thickos vote for them.

"Throughout, many of the featured landowners and access campaigners agree on the artificial nature of landownership, their individual powerlessness to effect change and on the social and legal constructs that trap us all in an uncomfortable standoff." theconversation.com/our-land-who...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Neither of these lightweights will cut it. Who in their right minds would vote for Streeting - who is accelerating the Palantir’s control over or NHS .

Proud of yourself, Sunderland? First Brexit, now this.

💷 Analysis by the investigations website DeSmog shows Farage has registered more than £2m in financial interests since July 2024, when he was elected as the MP for Clacton. 💰 What do you think motivates Farage?

#492, Bluebells, Oswestry, 02/05/2026 Now I've seen a lot of bluebells in my time but this display in the woods near Llanforda was one of the best, the sun had done its work and you could smell them before you got there. #photography #shropshire #nature #bluebells

Yes @questlove.bsky.social, a pandemic is (still) happening. COVID can cause dormant cancer cells to proliferate. I’m sorry about your friends, and if COVID was a contributor, I’m sorry they didn’t know.

Tomorrow's front page 📰 The only route to a better future for Scotland is to vote for independence

Every other party except SNP & Greens want to take this away from the people of Scotland don't let them. To keep a fairer, more compassionate social contract with Scottish citizens you must vote #SNP1 #Green2 #ProgressivePolicies #AreYouYesYet #WhyNotScotland

twenty years ago people attacked universities by deriding “Mickey Mouse degrees” like media studies in favour of “proper” subjects like history, and now universities are skipping that step and simply abolishing everything that isn’t economics

Who'd a thunked it? #ReformUK

"They think it's all over, it is now!" William Shakespeare, Henry V, probably... Les Miles des Marches (Shrewsbury Levy) in action at the Clun Green Man Festival at the weekend! #ClunGreenMan #GreenMan #Shropshire #History #Lumix

Remember Matt GPT’s campaign manager Adam Mitula, the one who was supposed to be suspended for antisemitism? He’s out campaigning for Reform UK. That’s how seriously they take their suspensions.

Another day, another national newspaper publishing a cartoon with Zack Polanski with a massive hook nose. Another day of silence from mainstream politicians self-proclaimed great antisemitism fighters on the antisemitism faced by Zack. Solidarity with Zack and ALL the victims of antisemitism.

University of Hertfordshire closes a swathe of Humanities courses, accelerating the sweeping tide against Human-centred disciples in the UK. Because understanding humans is so yesterday today. With such happy consequences, as we see when we look around us.
