Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Justin Webb is one of a number of presenters - Evan Davis also comes to mind - who use a supercilious, faintly mocking, amused tone which has no place in the transmission of news. It's obviously a characteristic that gets you promoted at the BBC. But it is grating for listeners.
Justin Webb is a regular presenter on #BBC Radio4 #Today programme:

These Labour MPs in so called brexit seats need to start using their position to help their voters understand the issues and possible benefits and to counter the disinformation so that the voters can make an informed choice
This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.
And then that same CEO threatens the government if it tries to raise tax on banks Tax the f**kers
CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

"Suicidal provocation of Russia while our armed forces are at their most woeful state since WW2". Mate, the Russian army is currently pulling T-55's out of storage and losing ~1,800 men a day in foot and motorcycle assaults that achieve nothing. This is "poke the bear" nonsense.
Well you can't get much clearer than that. Restore are Putin stooges.

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

What fuck is the BBC up to This is political broadcasting And it has no relevance to the Budget Reform polling is going down Who is Farage paying or what Kompromat does he have on a senior figure in BBC news
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

Wouldn’t it be funny if it was the BBC who finally exposed Trump and led to his downfall A long disposition would expose his mental failings and he is very likely to incriminate himself If get a big bag of popcorn for that one
And if he doesn't, and if the discovery period isn't extended, is that the end of this farce? 'US Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett, said that Trump must sit for the deposition by 11 December, unless the discovery period is extended.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🇺🇸 "Who among the democratic governments of western Europe, in the Elysée, in the German and Polish chancelleries, in Brussels or in Downing Street, can now trust a word that comes out of Washington? Its bond is broken, its honour in shreds."
Probably its now a Reform policy

Seems only right. This should be extended to cover tax avoidance by exile, people like Jim Ratcliffe, why should people who leave our country to avoid paying tax, keep their honours, its a dishonourable thing to do. www.ruck.co.uk/rugby-news/k...

What does Dick Lice use for brains? (1 of 2) I realise it's difficult to see from Dubai, Dickie. But in case you hadn't noticed, The Tories aren't in government. And a Reform politician (elected on a turnout of 17%) spouting Reform rhetoric isn't exactly hot news, is it? 🤣 x.com/TiceRichard/...
