We all know:

Brexit was bad.

Reform is grifter central.

Trump is a senile cuckold for his moneyed mates.

Musk is satan personified.

But please, I know all that, I just don’t want it continually rammed down my throat.

There are some very embittered people on here who really should know better

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

David Mencer on #C4News, we’re watching something else. What a genocidal murderous scumbag.

Please @channel4news.bsky.social can you post a warning in future?

Awkward for Zia Yusuf, who keeps being sent out to lie as cover for the Reform UK leader

Who did Nigel Farage have lunch with after resigning as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Why, it's Russian bribe enthusiast Nathan Gill, who then did the important news briefing on his behalf (to Russia Today)

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

I support rejoining the EU as soon as possible, by the fastest route possible.

But if that isn’t possible yet, then I want politicians to do everything in their power to make travel, trade and cross border living, working and studying easy again.

Great. Now Labour plan to hand the IDs of 13-year olds over to hackers as well as those of adults.

(There's no way the database won't be hacked, right?)

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.

It's worth adding that Hamit Coskun is an asylum seeker - what Jenrick would call 'an illegal immigrant' - and one who has self-evidently 'got into trouble with the law in our country'.

But to Jenrick, Coskun is clearly the right sort of 'illegal immigrant' in the right sort of trouble.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Audience member rips apart Zia Yusuf's obsession with immigration, all the problems are due to austerity.

He challenges Yusuf to speak about other issues.

Yusuf lasts less than 2 seconds, all he and Reform have is, "Immigrants bad!"

It's time that all leaders who supplied weapons for Genocide face charges.
