Keir Starmer calling Kemi Badenoch's bluff over the China spy case in PMQs: she's made serious allegations, govt clearly thinks she can't stand them up, & so far the vibe is fairly 'person on X who doesn't know the law, arguing with a lawyer'

Sorry but I've had to switch off. That @lbc.co.uk are handing over airtime to a genocidal war criminal is unsettling but then we do know where the owners stand.
Not sure how long @mrjamesob.bsky.social thinks he can carry on working for this organisation.

They have flattened a whole country and people. Continue to annex the West Bank. And their president is wanted by the ICC. This is amongst the most shameful broadcasting I have ever heard.
