I used to support Greenpeace, but listening to the flawed arguments put forward by Deputy Director Areeba Hameed with regard to Rosebank approval - #politicslive - has confirmed why I now disregard them. These days it’s protesting for the sake of it and bending facts to suit its agenda. Very sad.

Jeez, the awful Andrew Mitchell on #politicslive suggesting the rioting in France was caused by immigrants, even citing the French media which said no such thing. And Claire Fox showing, as ever, that her flawed opinions should be kept to herself. Why does the BBC continue to platform these cretins?

Another idiot today on #politicslive @alynsmith.bsky.social has no clue about why adjusting the triple lock is the right policy. Look at the polls you Scots twat. The majority of folk agree the proposed adjustment, so they don’t lose their home to pay for social care, is the right choice. Jog on.

#politicslive What the fuck is going on. You lead on a confected story from Reform and you invite into the studio the ridiculous Jaymey McIvor, not even an MP, who was booted out of the Tory Party for sharing pics of his dick. The BBC continuing to platform a Party with 8 MPs is inexcusable.

Oh, I forgot tonmention that Sarah Elliott is also chairwoman of Republicans Overseas UK. Just might explain her portraying Donald Trump as ‘authentic’ and ‘a businessman’. Sorry #politicslive - I think you need to be more accurate when describing the roles of your guests.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk You’ll have had ample opportunity to apprise yourself of the information I’m sharing. For someone who has, quite rightly, championed social care I’m shocked that when a logical plan is suggested, rather than support it you jump on the point scoring band wagon. Shame. On. You.

Dear @nobelprize.org I look forward with eager anticipation to seeing the list of nominees for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. I truly hope to see both Mark Carney and Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s names on it. With thanks in anticipation The entire civilised world.

#politicslive - can Vicky Young please stop saying ‘thank you very much indeed’. Your colleagues are delivering a report (that’s their job) not giving you a fucking present!

Sharing with @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social - The more people let him know precisely how they feel about this the better.

Tom Watson who helped sabotage Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is now working for Palantir UK. The same Palantir who have stolen all the English NHS data and been paid to do it Watson even brags about this corrupt appointment to one of the most evil companies on the planet

In a ‘Spot The Dick’ competition little Jaymey would win hands down. Hands down where is another matter entirely.

Who do Reform put up on their latest internal crisis? Jaymey McIvor, an ex-Tory councillor who left the party when accused of sending an unsolicited image of his ‘private parts’ & is now a Reform councillor. #BBC #PoliticsLive

I see #politicslive have dear old Tim Montgomerie on again. He just can’t make up his mind as to which Party he should be a member of, poor soul. Somewhat of a loose canon is our Tim, a bit like his head.

I’ve never known a time when the BBC’s lead political commentators - the egregious shitweasel that is Chris Mason, the loathsome Laura Kuenssberg, and the eternally smug Henry Zeffman - are so disrespected by its audience. Not because of perceived bias, but because of actual bias. Enough - get rid!

Hahaha! You can’t make this up…#politicslive has invited the Shadow Defence Secretary onto the programme. It’s that former Territorial Army plastic soldier…Mark Francois. Fat, flaccid and full of shit, as always!

Just watched the intro for the BBC’s News At One which will include an interview by the egregious Chris Mason with the vile Nigel Farage. I instantly switched off asking myself why the fuck does the BBC constantly enable the leader of a Party with just 8 MPs to platform his divisive rhetoric.

Can anyone explain why the MSM feels the need to trawl through the archives to dig up the 'injustices' of the govt's early release scheme? Of course there are issues with it but it's funny how it fails to mention the Tory failure on prison building and sentencing policy which has led to the problem.

Dear @news.sky.com since when did it become acceptable to have such a heavily accented newsreader present your programme? Are there no newsreaders available who speak the King's English, or even someone who is able to deliver a news bulletin that is easy to understand? Barbara Serra needs to go.

Ok, here’s a headline from Sky News on the VAT cut on electric bills. ‘£50 doesn’t even buy a meal: What people think of Burnham’s VAT cut’. So, what’s the sample size; is this opinion representative; what’s the demographic? This is what the bloody MSM does as it tries to set the agenda. Fuck ‘em!

This all day long. The man has no integrity and no shame, just despicable and divisive rhetoric. It's money, power and me, me, me. Not necessarily in that order.

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social

The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something

I’ve really gone off Shabana Mahmood. Her cruel Reform-chasing immigration policies need to be ditched by Andy Burnham. He also needs to find a new Home Secretary, one who understands compassion. Check out this piece from Alf Dubs who knows what it means to be a refugee - apple.news/AvhonJ4xMQ4O...

apple.newsRemove home secretary Mahmood and rip up her asylum plans, says Alf Dubs — The GuardianExclusive: Labour peer who fled Nazis as a child says Andy Burnham has chance to ‘correct mistakes’ on refugees

So #politicslive let's get an analysis of Trump's so-called deal with Iran from...the oleaginous Greg Swenson, who just happens to be Chairman of Republicans Overseas. What the hell do you think he's going to say about 'the deal'? FFS BBC, enough with the bias. Do you think we're all fucking stupid?

#politicslive - Mims Davies…how the hell did this stupid, shouty, word-salad gabbler ever become an MP? An outstanding example of someone who should remain silent and be thought a fool rather than open her mouth and remove any doubt.

#politicslive - after yesterday's aberration it's good to see the grown ups back in the room. Good, civilised debate with proper politicians and a real journalist. It's quite simple really - stop platforming those whose mission is solely to disrupt, divide and rabble rouse. Are you listening #BBC?

Yes, I’m childish but it amused me that BP removed its new CEO after less than a year in the face of ‘serious concerns’ a little over a year since it removed its previous CEO, Mr B Looney, after he was found to have ‘committed serious misconduct’. It does beg the question as to who’s the loony one.

Who is this twat from pressure group Compass running off at the mouth on #politicslive? Seems the Beeb has been out barrel scraping again to ensure it’s ‘Get Starmer Gone’ campaign keeps up the momentum.

Dipped into #politicslive after the Easter break & rather enjoyed seeing their ‘Gobshite of the Day’ Faiza Shaheen schooled by the guy from Palantir about its contract & data integrity. I know nothing about Palantir other than it seems to be the current ‘villain of choice’ by those with an agenda.

Oh dear, oh dear. I guess the videos discussed in this fascinating piece by the Guardian’s Henry Dyer and Michael Goodier could be compared to the frog-faced, fascist fraud being caught with his pants down. Enlightening and informative - thanks for the good work guys! apple.news/ACWYNs9zXT7m...

apple.newsNewly unearthed Nigel Farage videos reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans — The GuardianExclusive: Analysis of more than 4,000 of Reform UK leader’s paid-for Cameo videos also shows they contain misogynistic remarks and antisemitic conspiracies

#politicslive - Alex Burghart constantly interrupting and shouting people down. Might I suggest that after 14 years of incompetence, showing yourself to be just an arrogant Tory gobshite is not the best way to win friends and influencing people.

So the hero of the new Green revolution LIED about making someone’s tits bigger using only the power of his mind and then LIED about apologising about it. Like that other execrable liar Farage he’s proving to be just another populist gobshite trying to grift your vote. www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbc.comZack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claimA newly unearthed interview from 2013 casts doubt on the Green Party leader's claim to have apologised.

Reading that Green Party leader & unreconstructed gobshite, Zack Polanski, has called for Starmer ‘to go’ following the release of documents relating to the appointment of the egregious Mandelson as US ambassador. Yes, mistakes were made & apologies given. Have you never made a tit of yourself Zack?

#PMQS - Good God, can Badenoch get any worse? Rhetorical question…of course she can. Out of her depth in a puddle, dim as a Toc H lamp (remember that one!), she’s more concerned with personal insults than facts. She’s about as useful as an inflatable dartboard.
