Out of curiosity, are BBC going to be acting as the government's stenographer like this for the whole year the utterly pointless PR stunt "one in one out" policy is running, or could they try actually ensuring context and balance in all stories about migration?

“The UK abandoned people joining the flotilla from Britain..There was near-silence regarding their illegal abduction, and a spokesperson for genocide-denier Keir Starmer simply called it “a matter for the Israeli government“. Critics responded..calling it “a disgraceful dereliction of duty“.“

The UK hostages Israel terrorised and abducted were thrown under the bus by Starmer's cronies

While the UK government looked the other way, as it has with Israel's genocide in Gaza in general, we want to highlight the hostages' stories

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

Trump: "Obama got a prize for doing nothing. Obama got a prize, he didn't even know what he got it -- he got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country. He was not a good president."

If Question Time was a boxing match tonight was Zack Polanski (Green) v Zia Yusuf (Reform).

And it was an easy TKO knockout for Zack.

I doubt he will be invited back on, Reform can't handle him and they own Question Time.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Trump just got Letitia James indicted despite insiders leaking that the case against her is incredibly weak. He had to get his handpicked stooge to do it. This only shows how corrupt the whole thing truly is:

HMRC is examining finances of George Cottrell, advisor to Farage, who he says is like a son

Cottrell was charged in US for
money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail & extortion. He conspired to launder millions of $’s of drug money using offshore bank accounts

No wonder he’s in bed with Reform 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tax authorities examine finances of key Nigel Farage ally

Exclusive: HMRC conducts scoping exercise into Reform UK backer ‘Posh George’ Cottrell’s income from business and wealth
