Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

In the UK a councillor failing to declare a pecuniary interest when voting on anything is committing a criminal offence. If this guy is thought to have done so, it's the duty of the opposition councillors to report it.

Norway put a 78% tax on Fossil Fuel, Shell still begged them to drill.
The rich will remain even if they can only make a penny.

Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.
I wonder why.
