How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from Stephen Cushion. www.enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadca...

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

What is going on at the BBC?

It's underappreciated just how extraordinary the sonic and visual design of the Claws of Axos is #DrWho

“Trump May Revoke Visas of Critics of Elon Musk’s Twitter” Freeeeee speech!

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

Tomorrow!

When will people like Piers Morgan realise that by debating a Holocaust denier like Nick Fuentes he's fundamentally conceding that the reality of the Holocaust is something to be debated. It aids and amplifies denial. All because Morgan wants views for his irrelevant YouTube channel.

Bannon praising Dugin’s authoritarian Russian orthodoxy as as America’s key ally. Putin’s Presidential predecessor supporting Musk’s war against the EU. Thiel’s puppet Vance in the vanguard piling on. Can you see it now? pdjukes.substack.com

A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist bylinetimes.com/2025/12/05/t...

The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget. Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

Through his life and extraordinary talent, the immigrant and refugee child Tomáš Sträussler who became known to us all as Tom Stoppard made British theatre and this country a better place to be. You might even argue that he helped redefine Englishness through his astonishing legacy of work.

My article 'Different Times, Same Culture War: Performing Otherness and the War on Woke' is published in the latest edition of Contemporary Theatre Review: Backpages 1/ share.google/kJrdhkGoKvit...

Truly appalling albeit unsurprising coming for a government which always consciously chooses to mainstream far-right politics Racist violence has been fuelled by top-down discourses which have normalised and legitimised far-right moral panics for years. It is not predominantly a bottom-up issue

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

Let's not forget that Tim Davie drew up a plan to change the BBC's output to specifically target and appease nativist sentiment. And the BBC is the single biggest contributor to the creation of Farage as a media personality. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Staying above the culture wars was a striking & surprising feature of 2014, 2016 and 2018 given the coincidence of the key centenary moments with the Scottish and EU referendums, and the 2016-19 stalemate

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

THIS IS SO GOOD

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

The far-right and its centrist enablers are grossly overestimating the resistance to a Mamdani-type candidate in the 2026 Midterms. Their Trump Stockholm Syndrome prevents them from seeing how unpopular he is. Most people will accept almost any alternative to the current GOP!

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone. Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

It's obviously a bad thing if any prisoner is released by mistake, but why is it worse if it's an asylum-seeker? It seems just to be taken for granted now that someone is more dangerous because they're an asylum-seeker than because they're a criminal. Something very dangerous is building here.

Today‘s a good day to pick up NK Jemisin’s The City We Became, a wonderful urban fantasy novel about the living avatars of New York.

FAO Matt Goodwin and all the other racist filth who tried to exploit this incident

Matthew Goodwin, who is still welcomed by the BBC and other mainstream media outlets, now explicitly promotes a white supremacism identical to Enoch Powell's ("the West Indian or Indian does not, by being born in England, become an Englishman ... in fact he is a West Indian or an Asian still")

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

This is how ideology functions today: ideology tells the truth but creates conditions which guarantee that the truth itself will be perceived as a lie. ▫️Slavoj Žižek, 2023

Jeremy Vine, "Andrew Windsor has been buried alive.. They want him humiliated" No he hasn't. He was accused of raping a child three times and for that: ➡️ Victim received £12 million ➡️ Andrew is moving from one big house to another ➡️ Andrew getting 6 figure £ from the King

Just took a deep breath & went to look at X. It's an absolute cesspit of hatred & glee: one huge account after another blaming the Huntingdon attacks on immigration, with total disregard for information, evidence or the safety of those at whom they're pointing. The yearning for violence is palpable.

Anyone who will lie unapologetically about mass violent attacks to push their own profile and political cause is beneath contempt. There’s no need to book such people, to platform them, or to listen to them. That’s not because of their politics, or their views: it’s because of their dishonesty.

The buses bill also became law this week, allowing councils in England to finally take control of local services used by millions of people. Almost nothing from No 10 or Govt Comms as a whole. It's beyond woeful. Meanwhile Reform are holding multiple press conferences a week.

Well now, this is extraordinary.

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

"Let's not forget, when we remember the service and the sacrifice with this poppy, that the people who bled and died for our democracy and our freedom, weren't just my grandfather who looked like me & worshipped the same God, but people across Empire & Commonwealth, who were Muslim, Sikh & Hindu'

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
