One bit of the BBC story that needs more scrutiny - and which might be the most important - is, why did Michael Grade look at the 'report' produced by Michael Prescott and demand the BBC act rather than, as an independent regulator would have done, toss it in the bin?

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Let's see what fuckery Johnson comes up with today to help his Orange Lord.

The profit motive should have no place in any provision of care, healthcare or social care. When it does, it is often the most vulnerable who pay the price for #privatisation. Important work from @neweconomics.bsky.social neweconomics.org/2025/11/endi...

They didn’t disperse. Change is coming.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

What kind of headline is “A ceasefire has been reached but fighting continues”

Legislators for hire. Ex-army chief Lord Dannatt lobbied ministers for millions to support commercial deal. Buying/Selling influence is a major cause of corruption and national decline. Must criminalise political donations, spurious legislator consultancies, control lobbyists.

Bill Clinton, "Under Netanyahu, the Israelis have no intention of giving the Palestinians a state" "Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran because that way he can stay in office for ever and ever. He's been there for 20 years"

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

Dodgy Jenrick, is caught out again. In this spectacular foot-in-mouth incident. Make sure you don't repost it or mention it, okay? www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKxb...

The Brexit Tax Swindle

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof. Black wealth. Black futures. Gone. And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Tens of thousands of children slaughtered so far. More to kill to quench their thirst. #FreePalestine

More should have been made about Farage's absence from Parliament in the week of the summit. After all, the date was well known in advance. And next week is a holiday for the Commons anyway. This is someone who deliberately chose not to be present.

The most high profile divorce the world has ever seen is underway. I wonder how they’ll split all the stolen data and most importantly, who will get custody of Putin?

I’m trying to find the passage in the Bible where Jesus says that if you don’t like someone just accuse them of a crime and then deport them…

Whole country is antisemitic now. Give it a week and it’ll be the whole world.

If you are tired of the performative hysteria of parts of the British press and would like to know how Europe sees today's 'Reset'- Summit, here's my take. Spoiler alert. It's mostly good news for Britain. 👇👇

An audience with Steve Tilston Saturday 14 June www.beardyfolkfestival.co.uk @stevetilston.bsky.social

Speak Truth Mr Skywalker!🔥🔥🔥

Bruce!

One of the things that enrages me about Labour’s approach is the reality that immigration hysteria is *entirely manufactured* Farage has used it to flog every con and it’s been in the tabloids, daily, for ten years. To the point that now even some Labour voters defend it. It’s fucking MADE UP.

It’s plain for all to see.

“Spain’s economy expanded by 3.2% last year. This outpaced Germany’s 0.2% contraction, France’s 1.1% growth and was also ahead of Britain, whose total GDP grew by 0.9% last year”. What was crucial to this growth? Immigration and the movement of people. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I assure you, nothing can prepare you for this guys reaction to being asked why people still fox hunt. Nothing. Credit: @politicsjoe.bsky.social

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that the former conservative government knew of the flaws in their post-Brexit plan to return illegal migrants news.sky.com/story/leaked...

Yeah Russell, I hate a cynical rebrand. Especially when right wing rapists suddenly “find god” in the hope it’ll help them avoid prison. Hypothetically speaking of course…

They say we need British carers: But provide no provision to train or financial incentives for what is difficult, undervalued work. They say disabled people should work: Yet provide zero plans, provisions or incentives for employers. It’s just rhetoric, not considered policy.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

Someone needs to take the gavel away from Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s using Photoshop to edit reality again.
