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

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...

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.

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

"Suicidal provocation of Russia while our armed forces are at their most woeful state since WW2". Mate, the Russian army is currently pulling T-55's out of storage and losing ~1,800 men a day in foot and motorcycle assaults that achieve nothing. This is "poke the bear" nonsense.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

We don’t need a business-as-usual Budget. We need a Budget to tax extreme wealth and make the UK affordable. This is the scale of change Britain desperately needs – and only the Green Party can deliver it.

Buried on page 30 of Sir David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment The conflation of antisemitism with anti-Israel sentiment is intentional, and frankly sickening.

"Difficult decisions" are what gets dumped on us by politicians avoiding asking difficult questions. They take the easy option of dumping on weaker instead of asking 'why are we underfunded?', 'who set my budget?', 'is austerity justified?', 'where did all the money go?', 'should tax be fairer?'

Burnham urges officials to come up with more radical options for Thames Water. Here are some suggestions. Enforce laws. Prosecute execs for harming health, environment. Cancel licence to operate. Put TW into special administration. Nationalise at knockdown price. Apply to all water companies.
