Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Wake up to hear Nigel Frottage is on #r4today didn’t we have Tice yesterday? Did I miss the LD Green SNP etc somehow? Gibb’s balance I suppose

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.

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs Clive Lewis, Lara Bird, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP Sam Tarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

I’m furious that my license fee is being used to promote a far right party…. One that hate mongers, promotes division, and actively works against my own human rights.

New details about another rape allegation against Trump, this time from a former Miss Switzerland.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Lisa Nandy Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport 100 Parliament St London SW1A 2BQ Robbie Gibb: He was an editorial advisor for GB News prior to its launch in 2021 ➡️ He joined the BBC Board as a non-executive director in 2021. 🧵 …

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.

Obviously this is outrageous in terms of partiality. But it's also yet another argument against rolling news. Rolling news has *so much* time to fill. Things like this must be a godsend for producers but it's really unhealthy for our discourse. If the BBC has to make cuts, it should bin News 24.

I was actually the first to vote in this! 😂 I saw The Sun post the article on Threads… Why don’t you add your vote too? 👉👉 www.thesun.co.uk/news/4081059...

Oh dear God

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

For Serbians, ousting the Russian-backed Vucic regime after its decade of looting the country is serious business, so serious that some come directly from their own wedding to cast ballots.

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.

Reform is currently 3rd in most polls and the trajectory is definitely downwards. Why on earth are #R4today giving Richard Tice airtime to spout his utter bullshit?

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

The presenter of #r4today opines.

Gary Lineker was a football presenter and dared to voice an opinion and was fired. This anchor of one of the BBC's flagship political shows writes in a fascist rag and it's no problem at all. The BBC has zero credibility.

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

Daisy Cooper, "We need to get Britain growing again, and the single biggest lever to grow our economy, is to get a better deal with t he European Union" "Join the EU Single Market, join the Customs Union, get a better defence pack - and that includes Freedom of Movement"

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w...

Exclusive: A second member of staff working under Reform UK mayor Luke Campbell has claimed they were suspended from their job after raising concerns about threatening and racist behaviour in the workplace observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Feeling a bit rough this morning after being up all night comforting Richard Tice, who was crying hysterically.

Remember when Reform MP Andrew Rosindell went on GB News to accuse Labour of being a “government of self-service” and called Keir Starmer accepting gifts from donors “utterly shameful”? We do. 🧾 Well, it turns out Mr Rosindell has been enjoying some rather substantial hospitality himself. 🤔

Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

#GetFarageOut

In his Daily Mail column today, describing Trump as "toast," Richard Littlejohn mocks the President's attempted annexation of Greenland as being mad, using the phrase "nurse!" Here's what Littlejohn wrote about it when Trump first suggested it

Claire Fox used to be a revolutionary communist. Then she became an anti-state libertarian working for the neoliberal, climate change denying, billionaire Koch brothers. Now she has a lifelong sinecure as a peer of the realm. The modern media grifter, par excellence. Hence, she's on #politicslive.

If the electric vehicle sales mandate is weakened further, and heat pump grants are slashed (both strongly mooted)...this is going to be a pretty bad month for UK climate action

Still ageing like milk

Dutch intelligence allegedly accessed Jared Kushner's iPhone, exposing secret Gulf accounts, a new book claims. Saudi Arabia and the UAE allegedly paid $750 million into one account, while another $1 billion was transferred to Israel for Kushner.

If you want to cut energy bills then put batteries into homes to download cheap overnight energy and use it at expensive peak times. Switching the time of use would also massively and rapidly cut the need to use gas. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The scene, just moments ago, in the BBC News studio.

Russia…Iran…Reform…

🇺🇸 "Who among the democratic governments of western Europe, in the Elysée, in the German and Polish chancelleries, in Brussels or in Downing Street, can now trust a word that comes out of Washington? Its bond is broken, its honour in shreds."

This is a Pew Research Poll showing how Americans feel towards other G20 nations. Trump and the Republicans entire midterm election message to American voters is we are going to destroy and conquer Canada and ally ourselves with Russia against the rest of Europe.

fascinating that Reform's priority seems to be going to war with ITV over its documentary rather than cracking down on the root problem www.ft.com/content/3d67...

Let's be very clear. The American fascists are not in Moscow to sell out Ukraine, they are there to sell out the whole of Europe.

Any word from Lisa Nandy about the BBC cuts? Or about anything at all?

Jack Ross, the head of Turning Point UK, does not come out of this doc well... Appears to show him meet with members of the Ulster Volunteer Force and hiring them as back up - noting that they have guns. Also appears to show him handing a UVF member wads of cash
