#Googlebox repeating #BBCNews bs about Rachel Reeves and the budget ffs. Not the fact the OBR came out and said the Chancellor did not exaggerate the position. Also where has #uriahheep Mason gone with his apology to Rachel Reeves.

FFS just watched #hignfy still having a go at Labour. The OBR stated on 2nd December before this recording that Rachel Reeves did not mislead anyone, what happened to fact checking? This is not a good look for Hislop, Merton or Fry. Poor.

So many rich seams of news but #HIGNFY has become weak, tabloid & doesn’t make the most of the political know how of Hislop or the satire of Merton.
No wonder Polanski pulled out.

They failed to point out that the Chancellor DID NOT LIE & instead they ran with an infantile Pinocchio joke.

Good to see the audience in Dover on #bbcqt having no truck with the divisive nonsense from Reform despite Bruce giving him extra time to speak.

All the others were useless and in some cases just racist. And Zack was the only one who had anything sensible to say. The fact that he was able to cut through with an audience chosen on immigration in Dover is pretty damn impressive!

Call me an idealist, but Polanski on #bbcqt is speaking a great deal more sense and seems more aligned with the caring British vibe than the nonsensical divisive Reform ‘party’.

Zack P: When are we going to have a cost of living special...?
Fiona Bruce: ...we talk about cost living every week..not sure why we need a special programme for it.
You talk about immigration every week. Yet, here we are, with a question time special on...immigration. Not sure that logic follows.

Zack Polanski on #bbcqt is right. Only 5% of the UK is built on.
Figures are available on Gov.uk
Reform talk nonsense to create Trumpian division.

5 mins into #bbcqt and while the Labour panellist was speaking, Reform was allowed to interrupt him as did Bruce.
Meanwhile the Tory was allowed to spout nonsense about their failed system.
What chaos!

Fiona Bruce desperately tries to smear Zack Polanski and the Green Party as supporting open borders as if it is the worst thing in the world.
But 56% of the UK support Free Movement.
It is actually her demonisation of migration which is supported by only 20% of the UK.

It's a disgrace that the BBC has given so much airtime to the leader of a 'party' or limited company to be more accurate, which has only 5 MPs.... If only Lib Dems, Green, SNP, Plaid et al were given so much publicity...

The Gibb machine in overdrive mode.
Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

And death by a thousand cuts is clearly the plan.
This daily attack on the Labour government is extraordinary.
The OBR is only 15 years old, yet it leaks the budget for the first time during a Labour government.
This is a systematic attack on this government.
