The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

I do not think that anger is a helpful emotion. It does not really do anything that is positive. But I must admit that I am angry at a very fundamental level these days because everything that is currently happening in the UK was predictable and predicted. Not in every detail, but in the ... 🧵

BBC Debate: Shabana Mahmood: Illegal immigration is tearing the UK apart. NO! UK politicians are tearing us apart by pointing at refugees, to cover up the poverty they've caused! Labour's 20-year waiting list for refugees is just performative cruelty.

Why is McSweeney still there. What greater proof would you need that he is incapable of doing the job. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Robbie Gibb, the BBC Board Member with the impartiality remit

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion. So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

If ever you wanted to know how much capitalism warps our humanity, consider this: Around 800,000 people in the UK are so sick that they cannot work. And instead of being described as a health crisis, it's being called an economic crisis.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Nationalism – good or bad? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10... My thoughts on a subject at the core of politics in the UK now.

You may have seen quite a bit of news from Caerphilly today. But how much have you seen about the Reform candidate’s relationship with Nathan Gill?? Anything? Nothing? Watch & read @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social on the trail of ‘Moscow Gold’ bsky.app/profile/then...

All those who scream patriotism and keep our women and children safe, are now upset that Birmingham police have banned violent football fans from attending one match? Our PM who arrests peaceful protestors calls this ban antisemitism? The ban is to keep communities safe from violence! That’s all!

Why can I remember no Labour politician making this point, this well? Everybody except the Greens seems to think the best way to fight Reform is to agree with Farage about everything. This, right here, is brilliant. And genuinely patriotic. And so, so true.

So you've got a Canadian "journalist" covering the trial of an Irish citizen, who lives in Spain and whose costs are being covered by a South African born migrant living in the United States. Break out the flags lads....

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

It seems pretty clear to me now: Keir Starmer would rather lose to Reform than to the Labour left, which is his real enemy. Any policy that might recover lost ground with voters has to be struck down, as it looks like a concession to the Labour left. And he and his team cannot contemplate that.

Please follow @thenerve.news! Were a new female-founded publication that launched yesterday…& it was a huge team effort to get a website up & this investigation over the line. We’re all exhausted but we want to do journalism that matters & we need your support. Thank you!!🙏 www.thenerve.news

Nigel Farage, 3rd September to U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee ● "Free speech is under assault in Britain." ● Free speech laws are "a sledgehammer that misses the nut" because they censor opinion. ●"At what point did we become North Korea?" He asked. 27 days later:

Man who constantly posts hateful racist sexist nonsense and gets feedback about it compares himself to a fascist that was shot by another fascist, then with a torch under his chin warns that the left is too violent, despite their last notable action being to throw a milkshake at a different fascist.

This ⬇️ !!!

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

According to the UK government, these people are terrorists:

Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.

We expect the media and Tory class to tell Angela Rayner to stay in her lane… But if you’re working class and joining in to do their bidding for them I have some words for you…

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is. The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

August 2025 figure for Scotland 4.2 hospital beds per 1000 population. Let’s keep our NHS from private hands, increase that number, but we can only do that with independence! #VoteForScotland

In case you are wondering, the backlog of asylum applications, at this point, in August 2023, was about 175,000. Far from "clearing it" by the end of that year, Jenrick resigned to pursue his leadership bid. The backlog left behind by the Tories eleven months later was about 225,000. ~AA

So a multiply convicted criminal, arrested recently on suspicion of assault, is using social media to terrorise innocent families in alliance with the racist far right. Another summer when British politicians and our mainstream media capitulate to organised thuggery bylinetimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

Trans rights are, in fact, and always will be, human rights. And I will fight you about this. Pass it on

64% of the richest 10% in Britain got most of their money via inheritance, not by working for it. Such as Allsopp, the eldest daughter of Baron Hindlip, chairman of Christies, who got her start in TV via her art history degree, which she studied at ... Christies. But sure. More austerity.

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

This is the kind of thing Reform would angrily spit out their tea about. And it is also the kind of thing that they would want to the UK. And this is exactly the thing that they lost, on both counts, when they voted Brexit.

The truth is not what you read in the papers!

Farage spread misinformation during the Brexit referendum and continues to do so now. We need to keep calling him out. 📣 Share if you agree. 🔁 https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/uk-eu-entry-travel-insurance-proof-farage-ees-b2806924.html

So this is how democracies drift into dictatorship. The organs of state nod along. The satirists crack jokes and do no more. The press and other appeasers simply turn a blind eye. The people... for the most part... just groan & let it happen. And very soon the future is no more.

We will never forget the support, the arms, the excuses, the empowerment, the cowardice, the cover-ups and the media bias that led to this. Never.

I am shocked: I never thought I’d see a human rights lawyer treating those who want to stop a genocide as terrorists

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
