I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Donald Trump is not going to sue the BBC for $1 billion The real story today is both Reform/Farage and the Conservatives/Badenoch talking today about radically changing the BBC This is the real agenda

Gibb describes himself as a “Thatcherite Conservative” and was an editorial adviser for GB News before its launch. This graphic is a couple of years old, nearly, but it gives a sense of the web of influence.

So Turness and Davie out but Gibb and Shah remain. Fear for the BBC because the right wing ideologues are trying to capture it entirely

Reform’s only Black local chairman, Neville Watson, has quit, saying he couldn’t stand the party’s tone and language on immigration. Watson, who chaired the Edmonton & Winchmore Hill branch, told reporters the rhetoric was “nasty” and “not what Britain needs.” Another one walks out… 🫠

Rather amusing to watch the British and political media establishment tear itself apart over fear of insulting Trump just at the same time as Trump's myth of invincibility is falling apart in America

I once found this very touching inscription in a book: “This book belongs to Gillian Love, aged 7 8 10 12 60”

As billionaire Venture Capitalists and tech bros try to make the case for "natural aristocracy" let's remind ourselves of the salutary lesson of Australia's 'Bunyip Aristocracy'. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/us-tech-bill...

We still don’t know where Laure Ferrari, 46, got the £885,000 that she used to purchase her and Nigel Farage’s constituency home near Clacton-on-Sea. 🤔

City of London lawyer Andrew Milne bought up hundreds of freeholds on homes across Sheffield before advising leaseholders that, if they didn’t pay him exorbitant sums (upwards of £25,000), he’d see them in court. Well done @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social @joshiherrmann.bsky.social for exposing this.

Inadvertent honesty from Trump tonight: "I never thought we'd go into every city and take a really safe city that we've all been living with for years and make them safe... I did get elected for crime but I didn't get elected for what we're doing. This is many many steps above."

🇺🇸 “ADF helped overturn Roe v. Wade (anbortion rights) and is now exporting its playbook to Britain 🇬🇧 . Jane’s investigation revealed that ADF’s UK arm orchestrated Farage’s appearance before Congress, where he attacked Britain’s tech regulation.”

Who writes this absolute drivel.

The 'protect our women thugs' standing outside Asylum Seeker residences threatening women with rape while the Police do nothing.

ALSO. Badenoch claims China was unequivocally classed as a threat in 2021 review and by MI5 in 2022. So can she please explain why the Chinese Nuclear Group was still involved with the Hinkley nuclear power plant project a full two years later - nine months even after Cash and Berry were arrested? 🤨

Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except: -he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant -the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency -they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.

I've spent *weeks* working on this special report for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social on GB News co-owner Paul Marshall – and the astonishing, unprecedented influence network he's built on the UK's right. There's never been anything like it before. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-p...

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

EXC: English councils will still be poorer in 2029 than they were in 2010, according to the IfG. Report finds councils are increasingly providing social care and little else. Libraries, youth services, parks, all falling by the wayside. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

😂 Spot on

The next generation.

Temu’s EU operations doubled pre-tax profits to $120m (£90m), employed just 8 people, $18m corporation tax, It is smoke and mirrors of profit shifting, offshore tax havens. UK High street can't compete. Govt must review customs duty exemptions, require multinationals to show where they pay taxes.

Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support. I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife. You can support them by donation

Other things Adolf Hitler did which Donald Trump has copied. 1. Takeover, or threaten all of the Media into submission. 2. Make all the Generals do exactly as he says, or fire them. 3. Send out squads of thugs to detain and harrass 'undesirables'.

Keep digging.

Trump gives Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, highest honour the White House can bestow on a civilian. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Trump’s stated trade policy is to try to stop Americans buying things from overseas. He is also getting mad when people overseas don’t buy from America. Even a seven year old could grasp enough economics to see the problem here.

10/10 would recommend, and all for a GREAT cause.

Appears the Devon Reform UK councillors that overspent on election expenses have been granted relief with them claiming ‘mistakes’ in their finances. The first point is - would you want such careless councillors managing your council budget? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
