@itvnews.bsky.social Exposure just buried Reform. Summed up succinctly by one of the people caught on a mic: "You've got to be a bit savvy to get the broad appeal then once you're in you can do what you want." Reform are racists and xenophobes trying to hoodwink the electorate.

I thought the symbol of Ukraine was the Trident, not the smoke dragon.

216 million spy TVs, ACR, vulnerabilities, and the LG Smart TV problem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFV...

Yikes, I knew they were scraping some data but not that it was this bad. <Disconnects LG OLED from the internet>

The Post Office told wrongly-accused postmasters that their compensation offers were secret, and couldn't be shown to anyone. That was false. The Solicitors Regulation Authority was about to prosecute the lawyers responsible. But now it's dropped the case, and won't say why.

@cam.ac.uk Why is one of your associate professors soliciting illegal political donations from foreigners to Reform UK Ltd?

Stop whatever you’re doing & watch this now! Reform’s magic money tree has been bust wide open. Huge kudos to undercover reporters Verbatim via @channel4news.bsky.social youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI?... huge

2 years ago, at Badenoch's first conference as leader, I was invited to attend and sell my book Tories: The End of an Error. The invitation was withdrawn and I was banned when they found out I wrote for Byline Times. Just saying www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

Farage is toast. Nice work Verbatim and @channel4news.bsky.social. youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI

Oh dearie me. This sting is BAD for Reform UK. As in criminal-prosecutions bad.

Had to be done.

Sorry, last post about Goodwin - this is objectively very funny indeed.

Epic cover from The Economist. Trump will be furious.

IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays. The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it out…

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

Renationalise the water industry. Labour have had 18 months to get a handle on this and it's nowhere near. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

They say "hang it in the Louvre". So we did #princeandrew

That picture is going down in infamy…

What the fuck is going on at the BBC? Since when were they in the business of actively trying to overthrow a democratically elected government where they have a 160+ majority, MPs are behind the PM and there's over three years until a general election. It's bonkers.

1. The tariffs are paid by US consumers 2. Greenland isn't for sale 3. Go f**k yourself

Ed makes a good point.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

@ledbydonkeys.org being heroes. Again.

Danny Kruger taking the Chiltern Hundreds when?

Who gave the 34 time convicted felon and adjudicated rapist a visa to enter the UK?

Bank of England in May : "We expect an increase in inflation this year. It is likely to rise temporarily, to 3.7%, partly because of higher energy prices." BBC headline today : "Inflation unexpectedly jumps to 3.6%" Do your f**king job. I'm not a journalist yet I remembered it.🤦‍♂️

An apology from the Daily Telegraph, after logging a complaint with IPSO.

FAFO George. 🤣 #Formula1

He's won three councils and he thinks he's Donald Trump. What an absolute fucking turnip.

Happy Ed Balls Day! 🥳 #EdBallsDay

Nvidia should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. And it's not selling.

"Sir" Grant Shapps. FFS. 🤦‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

John Roberts... welcome to the Resistance 😎

2 day change -1,400 (always a tweet)

Is this the same JD Vance who pretended to be so outraged at a leader supposedly disrespecting another country? Surely not.

🚨 Lib Dems respond to JD Vance’s comment that Putin will not be deterred by “20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years” Defence spokesperson @helenemaguire.bsky.social, a former Captain in the Royal Military Police who served in Iraq, says:

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

A reminder that it's not a "shouting match" when only one side is doing any shouting.

How it started/How it's going

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

No PayPal, I’m not a Supreme Court justice in the Monarchy of MAGAstan.

Is Tim pissed again? #PoliticsLive

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Enabling Act of 1933 anyone? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

@premsportstv.bsky.social The NASCAR Cup Daytona 500 broadcast cuts off with 20 laps to go. Can it be fixed?
