@bethrigby.bsky.social congratulations on your report on the spending review. You included a party with only 5 MP's, while completely ignoring the 3rd largest party with 72MP's, @libdems.org.uk! You're supposed to be political editor yet you are showing blatant bias!

Riots breaking out across N. Ireland after a girl was sexually assaulted by 2 immigrants. Where was the outrage for the 4090 other female victims of sexual violence here in the past year, or the 25 murders committed by NI men? This is not about the victims. It's about ignorance, hate & racism.
