The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

Absolutely this👇☝🏻

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

We know why. The former head of news directed the BBC's news output to pander to Reform voters to keep them onside. It's all there in the documentation. Instead of moaning about it, why not ask our useless culture secretary about why she's letting this continue.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

Brilliant! 🔥🔥🔥 This is what the fossil fuel industry WANTS you to believe! #ClimateEmergency [SOUND ON 🔊]

1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

The govt should not be asking us to stockpile. They are not giving us enough information to do it. Many people haven't got the money to do it. They should think hard about what they can do to ensure supply chain resilience, or stockpile themselves [which they do with some medicines for eg].

While I'm shouting at clouds, UK gov telling everyone to stockpile for climate-change-driven emergencies while fast-forwarding fossil fuel drilling is... I had thought it was the government's responsibility to fix problems, not cause problems and then tell us to deal with the fallout at our expense.

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It struck me that almost every seemingly intractable problem on today's front pages could be substantially alleviated simply by taxing the extraordinarily wealthy people and corporations whose greed, short-termism and pursuit of power we protect at the expense of almost everything else.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🇳🇴 Norway, yay oil and gas! Let's nationalise returns and in 2026 we'll have a £1.7 trillion sovereign wealth fund 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, yay oil and gas! Let's sell it off, and with it's scraps in 2026, add £100 million a year by 2030 (OBR) to an Energy Wealth Fund

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Did the government throw a protective ring around care homes? Our 2020 paper concluded no. Now the COVID Inquiry agrees. So many avoidable deaths, so little learned. journal.ilpnetwork.org/articles/10....

Does anyone have contact details for Chris Mason & Laura Kuenssberg so we can send them this informative exposé about their favourite political party as they seem to have ovelooked the evidence staring them in the face. Odd thing hero worship, eh? 🤨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp4h...

Not bombshells. Entirely on brand “appalling behaviour” and “extreme racism” from an appalling, extreme and racist party, led by an appalling, extreme and racist man. The apples are all rotten because the tree is. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Ex-BBC Director-General, last year. The key words are, 'Win over' & 'adapted'. No news service has to 'win over' viewers. They must report accurate & unbias news. The most sinister word is 'adapted'. Twisting news & introducing bias to support their plan. It's a scandal that they even consider it.

1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

What a wonderful diverse media it is when the far right son of the owner of Unherd, The Spectator and GB News is considered a vital guest for BBC’s Newsnight

A modern classic of poasting

I don't know how many lines have to be crossed before the remaining democratic West realises this fucking maniac cannot be permitted the power he's accumulated. We have Musk. Or we have established international security norms. We can't have both.

To carry out a referendum as they did, then to implement Brexit as they did and then to fail to scrutinise any of it - as they have done ever since - is an epic abuse of power and betrayal of our country by those charged to act in its best interests. Fault lines that will undermine Brexit forever.

Producer: “Who can we get to represent the views of voters in struggling working class towns?” Researcher: “How about a London born privately educated banjo player who is the son of the billionaire who owns GB News?” Producer: “Perfect!”

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

Let’s have another look at the time Nigel Farage went to the US to bad mouth Britain, but ended up getting his arse handed to him by the US Senate.

The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

'Waitrose Woman' is Badenoch's new Tory target as she ditches Red Wall - The i Paper As an occasional “Waitrose Woman,” I’d rather pluck my eyes out than vote Tory.

Extraordinary undercover reporting in Reform by ITV, uncovering what many of its councillors and activists are really like, when they think the cameras are off. A racist party which attracts racist people. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

I am still with you, Sir.

Look at these scumbags beating up a woman as Nigel Farage watches and then praises them. Protect OUR women (So WE can abuse them). Is their slogan.

The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Please @labouruk.bsky.social do something about the bastard RW press before they bring us all to our knees!

He’s not an elected official. He never has been. He could have stood in Holborn but he’s too 🐔… So why are the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social giving Zia Yusuf a platform to tell the country that Reform would instruct the Navy use “lethal force” against people in the channel? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reform are barbarians, Nazis, fascists, racists, the worst of the worst. Anyone who votes for them is voting for the cruelty of ICE, the corruption of Trump, the incompetence of MAGA and the masterplan of Putin. #Reform♡Russia 🇷🇺

@badassmutha.bsky.social @donmcgowan.bsky.social Russian interference update. Farage called Burnham a liar! Will someone please ram this down his throat? ⬇️
