Kerry Kennedy says she 'absolutely' blames her brother, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., for recent measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania. The state has surpassed more than 1,000 measles cases this year, making it the largest state outbreak in more than three decades.

This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

We all understand why a politician like Farage should not be hosting a TV show. Equally, shouldn’t someone have to determine whether they’re going to be a tabloid pundit or a BBC journalist?

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.

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

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

At this point I remain baffled why the Tories that were in charge of the UK's #Covid Response are not in jail for fraud, corruption, misconduct in a public office, and excess deaths due to their incompetence.

The report KEEPS the article online and has dropped the second investigation into plagiarism. What part of that don't you understand?

Annie reposted

Replying to @sobukwescozia.bsky.social

I don’t think you understand. Another investigation into the article was opened earlier this year, and marked on the site. That mark has now gone, so the second inquiry ended in ‘no further action’. Which means the second plagiarism allegation was not proven

Guardian reports Police Scotland will get round to watching the documentary at some point ... No rush lads.

Andrew Fisher@fisherandrew79.bsky.social

What's remarkable about this article is that there's no mention of the police. No mention of a charge, an investigation, an arrest, even an interview www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He’s not a celebrity. GET HIM OUT OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL & STRIP HIM OF “THE RIGHT HONOURABLE”. Matt Hancock lied about throwing a “protective ring” around care homes during the pandemic. His actions and inactions led to thousands of deaths. Sign & share c.org/2F42N8gR7g

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.

Tomorrow, the University of Oxford will host the racist academic Amy Wax, who was suspended from U Penn for her racism. Oxford apparently has a passion for hosting bigots who are famous predominantly for their bigotry.

Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️
