Not a Lib Dem but Ed Davey was brilliant this morning. More and more need to do this to the BBC especially in Scotland. Well done Ed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely right, Ed.

Absolutely spot on!

Given up on tem o'clock news. Mason is just a gossip columinist

Spot on.

So true. He & his ilk constantly get disproportionately large coverage & disproportionately little scrutiny. Who's probing through the shallow soundbites & exposing them for what they are(spoiler: bigoted selfserving populists who exploit the rightful anger of the British working class). Who?

Never seen an interview terminated so quickly this morning. But Ed got it right, pursued the matter and was very clear. Well done Ed

Hear hear!!!!

BBC Breakfast and John are not the exception

Not a LD supporter but well done Ed for taking that bull by the horns . John's earpiece must have been melting with the panic from the production team screaming instructions to try and protect the image of their pinup boy

Well said.

Well done

Nige told people to vote brexit. Nige told people to vote Boris. Why tell people to vote for an immigration system that makes them furious. Why did Nige mislead voters? He's never been asked that anywhere.

The BBC made Farage and are determined to make him the next PM. It's not hard to see when you have studied propaganda techniques. And studied who makes decisions in the BBC.

Well done @eddavey.libdems.org.uk good to see you call this out on the BBC which has been foolishly pandering to Farage for years.

So true, no one is challenging or even questioning Farage on his policies, and it is just scary how many people are blindly following him like a bunch of Lemmings heading for the cliff.

Good it’s about someone said it publicly and called the BBC out. Well done Ed Davey.

The content was not that of a 12 year old girl, it was a political piece carefully crafted to make the most of a situation that hadn't happened when she wrote it. It pretty telegraphs the plan here. Yet the BBC couldn't manage to see this. These failures that keep supporting Reform need to STOP!

And Shelagh. Let's be honest, we're talking about Nick Ferrari in the morning. He called Farage to comment on something random. I complained to Ofcom because he allowed Lowe to imply that the grooming gangs were all one race, without challenge

Not just the BBC but almost every main stream media outlet is also to blame. Farage deals in sound bites and click bait which he knows will get the attention of a sizeable proportion of the population even if what he says contains no substance. Unfortunately he is very good at it.

Well said Sir Ed. It needed saying. The BBC are showing clear bias imo. It’s appalling the amount of coverage that Reform gets in comparison to the LibDems. And it is all sensational nonsense too.

Well said Ed!

Absolutely brilliant Sir Ed Davey.🤩

Welll said, Sir Ed.👏. Though looks like you’ve rattled ‘Penrose’ John. 😆

Yet Ed Davey thinks Farage should rule Scotland if enough people in England vote for him, even if he doesn't win a single seat in Scotland. Liberal and democratic, my arse!

Well said👏

Just look at the top of the BBC, that’s where the issue is, still following the Johnson line

Well done Ed Davey 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏and that’s from a Labour member! You were spot on ! Although I think the same applies to all media coverage.. so hope you repeat this on Sky too !

It’s a pattern we’ve seen in the US and Australia too. Legacy media “sane-washing” the right wing parties; not holding them to account, not grilling them on policy, just providing a platform for their populist sound-bites.

Never a truer word

Well said, and keep it up. Maybe come armed with some specific examples next time; plenty to choose from.

After Russia Today which he colluded with first!!! Source 'Sergei and the Westminster Spyring' (Carole Cadwallader and Peter Jukes)

Somebody needed too

BBC Breakfast"we challenge *everything* he said .... ." BOLLOX.

Well Done @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and thank you. At last someone had the guts to start to challenge the Reform fan club that is the BBC

Davey does it very well.

This

Then L.B.C and Nick Ferraris monthly N.F with N.F slot.

He may just have been in shock to have been on the BBC at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Or indeed, how successful Farage’s big win has been!

I've seen Ed Davey's voting record. He's as classist as Farage. This performance won't last long.

Ed Davey is 100% right here....Farage can spout his cheery, veneer-thin horseshit on the BBC and his interviewers back down on the first contact They didn't challenge in 2016 and they don't challenge now

Well said @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

The BBC are utterly appalling at holding certain individuals to account, they were laughably poor with Boris Johnson as well. Tim Davey had them completely in hock to that charlatan, and they'll do the same with Farage if someone doesn't straighten them out. It's pathetic.

Strangely, Farage never talks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social or @matthew-wright.bsky.social or, indeed, anybody else who will properly hold him to account.

BBC are literally an advertising for Farage - so bias

More of this! Labour might too scared to go after him but Lib Dems can step up and show they are an alternative to Tory/Con/Reform.

Farage is a Class A prick

If you reckon Farage is on a soda , Trump's on a banana split from the BBC AND ABC AND MSNBC AND CNN. There will be retribution.

Garage runs rings round the BBC whose style is to pretend he's the voice of reason, when he's anything but.

Agreed, if the LibDems got the same amount of time as Reform did per number of MP’s then they’d be on for hours!

💯

Damn right but it is the tory virus that is the problem. Dumped the independent board, installed Davie, Gibb and Shah to keep it on a leash.

So well said

Well said 👏

#IStandWithEdDavey

100% agree, including on Breakfast. He needs to go to places where he is going to be out fo his comfort zone. JObrien, Rest is Politics, etc Going on Ferrari isnt holding him to account and the BBC has to be luke warm.

Quite right! Needed to be said.

At last, someone who will call out the biased BBC

“A centrist[14] to centre-left[15] party, the Lib Dems ideologically draw upon liberalism and social democracy. Different factions have dominated the party at different times, each with its own ideological bent, some leaning towards the centre-left and others the centre.”

Party leaders*** (the members can be just as tiresome as any other type of activist!).

True... Every word.

Not a Lib Dem but agree with everything @eddavey.libdems.org.uk said is this interview.
