They who will not be criticised (by the very people who listen every day).
No complaints from Reform supporters, so they conclude they aren’t even listening.

I just listened back! He sounded angry that he has to justify his love for Reform!

He was so angry! I could hear in his voice! How dare we question his impartiality!! #bbcfeedback

I just listened to the episode! Chris Mason sounded angry that he has to defend himself!

@thechrismasontv.bsky.social I am listening to you on Feedback and am disgusted with your response to the coverage of Reform and the lack of challenge that you present. Please resign from the BBC and go and work for Farage.

Listening to Feedback. Chris Mason apologist for Farage is excusing the blanket coverage of Reform on the BBC , what he didn’t mention is the blanket coverage on Question time for many years and ditto coverage before the riots and marches. how much has the bbc been causing this rise in Reform?

Just listened to Chris Mason on Radio 4 defending BBC's excessive coverage of Farage & Reform. I was outraged by his response to legitimate criticism. I no longer trust the BBC's political coverage (actually I haven't for some time, but the BBC's behaviour has grown even worse of late).

Want to be enraged on a Sunday morning? Read Substack. Apparently now second generation immigrants like me, born here of Indian immigrants (who were British subjects at birth, don’t forget) should not be granted full citizenship and should have to prove their commitment to Britishness.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case:

“at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! […] I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

Prince Andrew can no longer be Duke of York (a ceremonial title) because of Epstein, but Donald Trump can still be President of the United States (a position of staggering real-world authority) *despite* Epstein.

Quite a stark contrast we are being offered here.

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after ‘discussion with king’

In statement released by Buckingham Palace, Andrew says he will give up titles and honours including the Duke of York

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)
