Sir Ken McCallum head of MI5 - Russia remains "aggressor number one" and is fighting a hybrid war against the UK that is not being taken seriously enough. This "war" did not start last week. It's been going on for a decade+ and those denying it should be challenged. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nope... It's DISinformantion. It's deliberate. Misinformation is false information shared without intent to deceive, while disinformation is false information deliberately created and spread to mislead or cause harm. I've been banging on at the Guardian and BBC about this for years.

📢 Tories have pledged to abolish Natural England & Environment Agency. A year ago I flagged both as highly exposed to political interference. They've been weakened by yrs of cuts & loss of autonomy. Abolition removes scrutiny but doesn't fix problems christinapagel.substack.com/p/abolishing...

🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12

Naomi Smith: “Rupert Lowe’s party, and its mysterious funding sources, make one thing clear: we urgently need PR in place ahead of the next election as a firewall to ensure dangerous extremists don’t control the balance of power, and to protect our democracy and rights from those who threaten them.”

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Serious questions should be asked as to how the supposedly non-biased BBC can justify airing a broadcast completely operated by Reform UK themselves. Nigel Farage should not been given complete editorial control of what is being aired on our national public service broadcaster.
I can’t help but think that news organisations, particularly the BBC, should’ve waited to find out the content of Nigel Farage’s speech before choosing to broadcast this nonsense, using an official Reform UK live feed.
