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.

What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

So the next big escalation in the Iran war starts this Friday or next? Place your bets

When Starshield Cut Out, Ukrainian Drones Fell From the Skies www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/w...

Ukraine is winning, so trump's gonna try to change that. Always the opposite of what's right

President Zelenskyy: If [Ukraine is fighting] without United States' support, it's very difficult. But if the United States will support Putin - it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. Of course, if these two countries will be together, of course we will not prevail. And we will not be able to stand.

❗️Romanian F-16s shot down two drones that entered the country’s airspace without authorization over the Black Sea. The first was downed 25 km southeast of Sulina at 18:01, two minutes after entering. The second was downed 20 km east of Sulina at 18:05. #NATO

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Surely at some point everyone is just going to admit Trump is demented, right? Right?!

🇺🇦🇺🇸 “Starlink service for speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored. Strike and interceptor drones are expected to resume flights,” says Ukraine’s former Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov.

The tide is turning on phone theft in London. 16,000 fewer phones were stolen last year following the Met's biggest ever crackdown and record funding for our police service from City Hall.

Introvert life hack: Start every phone call with “My battery is almost dead.” That way, you can hang up on them at any time

Rapists should do time. Always.

Absolutely brilliant result in New Bradwell overnight, with a resounding Labour win in our city. Milton Keynes is getting a fantastic, locally-rooted representative in Cllr Tracey Bailey and I could not be prouder of our campaign🌹

King Abdullah of Jordan just called out the Israeli government at the UN in a forensic speech

Would you like a McVitie's hobnob?

Government should call Pissington's (sic) bluff. Call in the army for a training exercise of how to lay siege to a village. Nobody in, nobody out. Once the pub has run out of beer they'll come begging 😁

It’s not too late to stop this madness - the government has said the uk mega donors are a problem. The lords can bring in a cap on UK donors to stop any attempt to buy the next election. Share this and ask your MP to join us protecting British democracy.

'Stop the Boats' in another week with no boats...

If anyone wondered why Reform can do what they do 🙄

The police should descend on Reform HQ in the early morning to prevent and destruction of evidence. #stoptheshreding

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought

I forgot to mention at the time that this poll was commissioned by Reform and paid for illegally with foreign money. Silly me.

www.heraldscotland.com/news/2651804... News you won’t hear at the Reform conference. #wato

Imagine where we would be if we allowed, say, Russian money to corrupt, say, a referendum or something. I mean, that could have serious repercussions for years!

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

Reform is bent. BBC News is broken. The government must act, or we are all lost

The Times & Telegraph laundered illicitly funded Reform polls onto their front pages as ‘exclusives’ yet not a single word on their sites. UK political journalism is so very broken

I'm not sure The Electoral Commission is equipped to fight organised criminal funding of Reform. The police should investigate instead. Immediately. Democracy is too precious to be tarnished by bad actors. If we don't stop it now, we may never get the chance to stop it later.

As far as I can see from the figures, Labour are releasing around 4,500 prisoners early over 12 months. The Tories released over 10,000 early over just 9 months. Both due to the Tories' failure to plan and provide adequate prison capacity. 'Odd' how all the right wing fury is aimed at Labour. 🤔

The Tory Party has once again moved from extreme to bat-shit crazy.

'Invasion': LATEST No wonder Refuk and the Tories have shifted focus onto hating on foreigners already living in the UK legally.

This is pretty much text book of how the US media completely failed to cover Trump ahead of the 2016 presidential election (and pretty much since)

"...and then they stuffed him in a catering container"

EKWUEME: “.. While everyone is focused on crude oil .., Diesel is trading as if oil were ~$140 per barrel.” ⛽️

X is a major national security vulnerability that UK government and politicians continue to prop up.

Investigation from Australia on Meta paying far-right content creators, despite them likely breaking Meta's criteria for monetisation (in one case, even X has banned the account). More excellent work from @whattofix.tech. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Google's emailed to tell me that Google assistant, which I only use to set an alarm for the morning, is being replaced by Gemini, which can't set the alarm. AI is Kool Aid and Google is trying to force us all to drink it. Fuck Google

And they couldn't resist BRAGGING about it

Over their 14 year rule, the Tories added a net 36 prison places per year. Sunak had to release over 10,000 prisoners early to cope with the crisis the Tories created. Since 2024, Labour have built 2,900 new places. But still the far right blame Labour for the Tory legacy.

Channel migrant arrivals, 1st to 22nd July: 2022 = 2567 2023 = 3101 2024 = 2343 2025 = 3552 2026 : 757 Farage will know this, but chooses to lie and mislead.

BBC: Louise Haigh has become chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, first secretary of state and Cabinet Office minister.

Yemeni group says the announcement is based on the principle of 'an eye for an eye'.

The only good thing about today is Mason, Rigby etc have all been shown to have lied about what they knew and claimed had been briefed about.

Stop the count!

Hydration break

There is still great and necessary journalism being done
