It’s so important when criticising Israel & Zionism, that we emphasise that we are NOT criticising all Jewish people. Jewish people are not a monolith, & so many are as vehemently opposed to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians as non-Jewish people are. Thank you to the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social

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

Typical Kuessenberg, she obviously forgets there's the 3 month rule, and most EU citizens coming to UK come to work

Laura Kuessenberg promoting her morning programme on BBC News attacks Andy Burnham's comments on renewing relationships with EU stating this will mean 'unlimited immigration going backwards and forwards.' How does she get away with that?

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

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

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.

'Odd' to think that all these Refukker 'bad apples' had to submit details of their social media accounts as part of vetting. And then they all passed through training at Refuk's 'Centre of Excellence'.

Massive simplification, but close: The Far Left: what's in it for us The moderate Left: what's in it for all of us The moderate Right: what's in it for me The far Right: how can I hurt "them"

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.
