Fiona Bruce shuts down Zack Polanski's attempt to press Zia Yusuf over Reform UK's links to Putin.

"Bribrary from Russia. Pretty serious for our national security."

"There's other things that the audience wants to talk about", Bruce responds.

Good on @zackpolanski.bsky.social.

How much longer will the BBC, ITV, Sky, C4 and C5 hide AMOC collapse from the British people?

Campaigners were at City Hall today to demand London Assembly members start planning for the UK being plunged into a far colder, drier climate which would decimate agriculture. 🧵

Anyway fucking hell I can't believe its been a decade. While I was there Corbyn was elected as Labour leader AND Cameron got exposed as a pig fucker. There was a lot going on.

And I'm delighted I got to see Wonga actually go bankrupt three years later.

Mothin was talking about Palestine and said God is great in Arabic. What the hell has that got to do with women, Jews, transgender people, nature? Your Islamophobia is showing.

GB News pay party political leader Nigel Farage over half a million pounds. The TV channel pays him five times his MP salary - and as much as his other 11 further external jobs put together

I need to listen to that Justin Webb interview with the Father of Nimrod, a young Israeli soldier again. Webb made assumptions about what the father was going to say that left him blustering and calling him “political”.

The rhetoric of the far right is escalating.
Look at ICE in the US. Armed militias kidnapping people off the streets.

We’ve seen this before.
It’s fascism. Imported from the US to British shores by the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson.

Will you help us fight it?
