Oh My life! The BBC having the brass neck to say "the public" might re-think their attitudes towards Meghan Markle! I'm certain the majority of the ill-will towards her was manufactured by our right wing media along with the BBC. Most of us said 'leave them alone!' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.ukWill the public change its mind about Meghan?This complicated - and developing - story could prove to be a turning point for Meghan.

Turning Point UK was supposed to be a youth movement All it's ever done is appeal to middle aged thugs

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

The BBC’s PM show just ran the most astonishingly biased report on migrant workers in industries like the care sector. A columnist from The Times (rightwing, Murdoch owned) was allowed to attack immigration without pushback. The union chief defending workers was sweated like an enemy. Totally loaded

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

#BBC does it again! All over their website and news about the lost archive of "Only Fools & Horses"- can we watch it on iPlayer - of course not, it's only available on a paid for subscription channel!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Going to be interesting following this

Unknown hackers claim to have stolen 421,179 emails from Germany's far-right AfD, exposing Nazi greetings, swastikas and threats against a photographer. The party confirms a breach, but the explosive allegations are still largely unverified. If proven this could be grounds to ban the AfD.

People will mock this as small beer politics but predatory behaviour by parking companies has been a major source of frustration and financial cost for millions, and for many years.

When 33 Chilean miners were trapped underground for 69 days at the San José Mine in 2010, Sharron was busy having botox and a brow lift, leaving others to organise an extremely dangeous and complex but ultimately successful rescue.

The idea that it's just a few bad apples in Reform is such bollocks. You get every impression that the whole fucking orchard needs to be condemned.

I have only one criticism to make of this programme. It should have been broadcast at 9pm on a weeknight not 10.20pm on a Sunday night. It deserved a bigger and wider audience. I'll be watching BBC Politics Live this afternoon to see if 'Aunty' will be platforming Reform UK again.

The Traitors is all the BBC has left. It’s so desperate that its own news service is now reporting on the incidental music in the show. Utterly pitiful. To think this was once the greatest broadcaster on Earth. Now reduced to a pathetic joke, and universally derided. The clock ticks down to its end.

bbc.co.ukHow The Traitors' music plays with your emotionsIt's not just treachery and villainy - the soundtrack for Traitors helps set the show's campy tone.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.

Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

It seems that Nigel Farage has taken the hint and has decided to spend more time in his constituency of Clacton. So much so that he has bought a new house for himself and his family in the local area:
