BBC coverage was never balanced. Palestinians “die”, but Israelis are “killed”. “Clashes” replaced “bombardments”. “Conflict” replaced “siege”. War crimes were softened or buried. Pro-Israel voices spoke freely, International law was treated as optional. www.thenational.scot/politics/256...

New reflections from me about the challenge of countering disinformation when the state itself is distributing it christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-erosio...

63% of Kent voters didn’t want Reform to run Kent County Council but our ridiculous voting system gave them a huge majority anyway. Time to make our votes count! www.bbc.com/news/article...

The last colours of autumn

Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour, he asked the Court to put TW into special administration. Blatant attempt to silence MPs. TW paying £200m a year to advisers, charges customers for its failures. Abuses will continue until execs held personally liable.

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the last two years. According to the UN, October was the deadliest month for settler violence since it started keeping track in 2006. End the occupation.

We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books. Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich. Social vandalism.

Ellie Chowns MP @elliechowns.bsky.social and #GreenParty Spokesperson for Defence, said: “When millions are struggling with the cost of living and our public services are under immense pressure, it is indefensible to spend billions on new nuclear-capable fighter jets cnduk.org/trade-union-...

No Wes Streeting, the BMA is not acting like a cartel. It’s acting like a trade union. And frankly it’s disgusting to hear you talk like this while huge numbers of doctors can’t get NHS jobs because you haven’t created them, while millions of patients are on waiting lists🚨🚨🚨

Lifting two child benefit cap 'not enough for families struggling with rent'. No curbs on rents, water, energy bills. Profiteering fuels, inflation, poverty. People condemned to poor housing, cut spending on food, essentials. Need welfare support. Govts don't connect the dots. archive.ph/NN4ZS

"What is wrong with creating a society where everybody has a decent job, home, healthcare system and schools for their children?"

🔴‘It’s Time for a Debate About Who Owns Our Media’ Says Leader of the UK’s Trade Union Movement TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak warns that tech and media billionaires are threatening our democracy, as they campaign to destroy the BBC bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/i...

Personally, my experience of this government compared to the last one is things are getting noticeably worse (and more right wing) in multiple ways. I'm not aware of anything that's getting better.

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’. But Govts listen to the City type. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.

Over the years social housing stock has been sold, real wages cut, profiteering unchecked, local council funding cut. Liverpool has 12,764 households on its social housing waiting list. It has just five "additional social rent dwellings". What is the govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

Water company United Utilities enjoys 131% rise in profits after bills go up £112. UU has 205+ criminal convictions. Loses over 175bn litres of water to leaks. In 2024 dumped sewage 450,778 hours in rivers//akes. No exec prosecuted/fined Rewarded with higher price and profit. archive.ph/7aP8O

Parliament is going to debate the petition – “Do not introduce Digital ID cards”. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... The debate is scheduled for 8 December 2025.

Good morning and happy Friday, BS! 🦋 👋 … Hope your week’s been a good one and your weekend brings you good vibes and smiles! ☕️🌱☀️🌳💛🤎🌿🍂✨🥂 #nature #ForestFriday

Wes Streeting blaming striking doctors for striking because Wes Streeting, like so many of his predecessors, such as Jeremy Hunt, is an awful health secretary

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Brilliant!!!! 🤣🤣

Politicians who say there is no money are either lying or ignorant.
