I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Caught two minutes of the BBC stuff on the news and feel sick at the idea of this pillar falling. Farage and the other cunts chomping at the bit will take the NHS next and we'll be sat listening to Third Reich FM hoping our minor injury infections take us sooner than later.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Brexit reduced the UK’s GDP by between 6% and 8%. That is MASSIVE. #ProjectFear #wetoldyouso www.nber.org/papers/w3445...

Trump dodged the chance to “step up and help the USA” in his youth and never lifts a finger unless he benefits financially yet here he is berating air traffic controllers as workshy traitors because they wouldn’t work after he hinted there might not be back pay after the shut down.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

A London family wants £180k a year tutor for one-year old child to help him become an English gentleman. Tutor must have gone to "the right kinds of schools", knowledge of horse riding, skiing, the arts and music. This is the real island of strangers where class wars are inculcated at young age.

This is the same man at war with the BBC….. Fucks sake, who is going to stand up to this absolute piece of human filth!?

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

Govt scraps all electrification investment. Midland Main Line to stay forever diesel Leicester Nottingham Derby Sheffield. Hugely embarrassing and inexplicable www.ft.com/content/5ecd...

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

We’re going to see more of this ridiculous “they’re cancelling Christmas” narrative. It’s basically Rage-Bait LAW from the 12th November, just as soon as Poppy Rage is over. Try not to get sucked in👍🏼 It’s not good for your blood pressure to get so angry about imaginary problems 12/15

What? The party thats looks set to break its cast iron guarantee that it won’t raise income tax is lecturing others on undeliverable promises?! IMHO it was a stupid promise, clearly we need the money, but I’m angry because breaking promises fuels “they’re all the same” mistrust, which feeds Reform

"Proof is in the pudding" Reform UK & Farage are genuinely incompetent, unable and truly detrimental to just about anything they touch. And these fools think they'll win an election. Their record so far ⬇️

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived. Scares people into paying extortionate price for freehold, 6000% profit. Previously arrested, charged with stalking offences. Govt must investigate these vampires.

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

Just got my 6 monthly water bill. Useage is up 8% but the bill is up 43%!! All so we can pay - again - for the work the water companies should have been doing for the last 30 years but instead paid themselves bonuses while pouring sewage into our countryside. Thanks Ofwat you absolute bellends.

I presume this prick is fine though with Trump running America and Albanese running Australia even though their lineages and skin colours aren’t indigenous. White supremacist scum.

‘At one point during cross examination, the prosecutor Peter Wright KC called Barton’s explanations “nonsense”, to which the former player responded by asking: “Are you calling me a nonce?” Wright in turn responded: “No, nonsense.”’

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

He dumped the mother of three of his children in the weeds at Deadminster for a tax break, yet somehow you thought you were special.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

What fresh hell is this?

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.

It seems pretty risky to tell people they won't see the change they want if they vote Green, given that they already voted Labour and didn't see the change they wanted.

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our policies, we've done it in 9. In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have “earnings over £125,140” I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of genocide.

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10. We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

Which one is more English?

He’s not just indifferent, which would obviously be awful, he’s irritated. Irritated that some millionaire there to fawn at his feet has the audacity to faint and disrupt his day. And yet stupid schmucks who work for $10 an hour thinks he gives a shit about them!!

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Lowe doesn't need the money but the 'thrill' of engagment can be just as corrupting as the love of cash & if engagement/cash increase according to the extremity of the opinions expressed then you need integrity to resist the temptation to become ever more offensive. This is what Musk has engineered.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.
