Affording someone else a right does not mean they are taking it away from you. Join a trade union. Scotland is a country, not a county. ✊🏿🌈

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler.
Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”.
Well sod that.
Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

BBC coverage of Reform is becoming increasingly problematic. And goes beyond the usual white noise. Continuous soft balling is not balance, it is a fundamental abdication of duty. Farage's tax issues, cranks given platforms at their conference, climate change denial. All need coverage. Most haven't.

This is an absurd misuse of laws designed to tackle terrorism and an insane waste of a resource-starved criminal justice system.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
