Defend the BBC with everything you have.
We know how it’s been infiltrated by Tory political appointees but it’s OURS. It’s the only independent media we have left. That’s why they want to destroy it.

The energy bill write off con.
Fuel poverty rising, debt £4.4bn. Ofgem says £500m could be written off.
It would be added to the bills of other customers. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020.
No cut in their profit. Debt would be rebuilt
