Fiona allowed reform to lie about the nhs and the reason drs can’t get a job in the uk, then cut of Zac when he wanted to respond and changed the topic. Still not get why racism is alive and well in uk and the role the msm have in spreading the lies

A few tought on the 'cease-fire' in Palestine.

The West Bank isn't included so the killing goes on.
The 'war' hasn't ended.
Netanyahu is a corrupt murderer and his word can't be trusted.
What happens now to Gaza? Who's going to pay for the reconstruction?
When will the borders be opened?

And as managers, they're spectacularly incompetent.

Money well spent, eh? 🤔

The rich don't integrate

They pay so their kids don't go to your schools.

They pay for Private Healthcare so you don't see them at the hospital.

They live in guarded estates, you are not allowed in.

The only place you MIGHT see them is at work, where they order you around.

"terror financing" she says. What, you mean like the multi-billions of dollars the US gave to aid Israel's genocide of Palestine.

When Amol Rajan says "it's good that we got that line back", he means "we had to stop trying to use a video call (which would be useful to programmes on TV) because the line was bad, and used the phone instead".

Out of curiosity, are BBC going to be acting as the government's stenographer like this for the whole year the utterly pointless PR stunt "one in one out" policy is running, or could they try actually ensuring context and balance in all stories about migration?

Who does Johnson think he’s fooling?! Dude sent the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files, and he’s keeping them away for the same reason.

Congress is still getting paid, but Johnson won’t bring the House back to fund the military. This is on him, not the Democrats.

"consult" who, exactly? Certainly not children, parents, or teachers.

She's stark-staring, fucking insane. I mean, seriously?

ANTIFA's girlfriend just celebrated her 100th birthday.

He, however, along with millions of others, can be found in thousands of military grave yards across the world.

As a lifelong hate-watcher of #BBCQT it's been incredible to see the tone shift in last night's prog with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on. It should have never been that hard to call for common sense - and actually popular - policies. Someone is actually doing it.

I'm listening to Plaid Cyrum at Conference.

What a firebrand speaker they have.

Not shy in coming forward and they remind me of what Labour was once. Labour have become lost and dour with no fire in their bellies. Plaid are slaying it

As Toby Young points out, Black people are over-represented in advertising. He somehow forgot to mention they are over-represented in poverty, unemployment and homelessness statistics too.

Why does it have to be reported as a danger or a threat?

China has gone where western countries couldn't be bothered to go and made a success of it.

China produces all the world's solare panels.

What has the US done to make itself feel proud?

Nowt.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · 20h

China ≠ just coal plants and solar exports. The deeper shift: electrifying everything it can. Strategic, because China relies on imported fossil fuels. Coal is still king in the power mix—for now. But the balance is changing year by year.

The BBC is slowly but surely destroying Radio 4 as well. It’s the last bastion of intelligent debate in Britain, yet it’s increasingly becoming a vehicle for culture wars. When the history of the UK in this period is written, the BBC will have a lot to answer for when it comes to stirring division
