This sort of data is so dangerous in a country that uses FPTP. This could give the far right a massive landslide of MPs and complete control of the country. Labour MUST change the voting system to something proportional or it will be their fault fascism comes to the UK. #FBPPR

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Still going on. Twenty minutes uninterrupted coverage so far. Robert Jenrick is currently talking about sex chat bots.

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

I know I say this every time, but it's true. They try to make you believe they are inevitable, when in fact they are defeatable. They do this because once people believe they will always win, there's no point fighting back.

What an incredible night last night. To see the resistance against populism triumph in two such different countries, in two such different ways.

In Kharkiv one of the bodies is literally torn apart by Russian missile after an attack. Body parts are scattered across the street. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine" - Trump. Bastards. Sick terrorist Bastards.

Starlink / Starshield speeds have finally been restored fully for Ukraine. Elon Musk was the person who restricted them and he has been lying about everything related to this crisis the last two weeks.

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

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

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

In Sloviansk a russian airstrike destroyed a private home. Emergency responders pulled the body of the killed owner from under the rubble‼️ The woman was simply living her life in her own house and russian "humanitarians" killed her for that.
