"Beginning to hear"? He hasn't been listening for the last few years.

Surely this is a matter for the Labour government? It seems odd to me that they sit on their hands like they do with BBC bias.

Is no one concerned about Jenrick wanting a 'new order'? Isn't that blatant nazi signalling? I don't see Conservatives diving for their copies of Blue Monday.

They’ll usually ask you to make a “No Licence Needed” declaration. You can do this online on the TV Licensing website

They may send an officer to check, but you don’t have to let them in without a warrant (and warrants are rare).

As a copywriter, I have to say this is very poor from the Conversatives.

Another astonishing sign of incredible incompetence from the UK Conservatives. They can’t even get right the name of the country they want to represent.

The backlog is in excess of £300m. That says everything when the capital budget per annum is £80m.

So Brexit Party and Reform are LITERALLY the same party. A great thread as ever.

Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 11d

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Is that leaflet ignoring Reform?

Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Lib Dems have always stood up for people’s freedom and privacy, back our petition to say no to digital ID cards. Our national petition: www.libdems.org.uk/nodigitalid.

No to Digital ID Cards!

Chris Mason has forgotten to mention that in his latest piece on Ed Davey's speech for the BBC, instead quoting the BBC statement on lack of bias and mentioning Farage more times than Ed Davey.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Something for a newsnight investigation? Why is this at the top of the BBC news page? Is this not simply right wing propaganda pretending to be news?

Steve Lodge 🔶 @comedysteve.bsky.social · 17d

Should be worth watching.

Catch Eye hack Richard Brooks tonight on ITV1 in The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money.

The documentary tells the story of how some companies with little or no track record in supplying PPE or medical tests were given massive contracts - and made a killing from Covid.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Potential story here? I wonder if Newsnight has considered reporting on this organisation called the BBC which is tax payer funded and yet politically biased across all its channels?

Vivienne @viviennesoton.bsky.social · 18d

Not a Lib Dem voter but the BBC News channel just announced the start of the LD conference then went straight on to Reform having held their conference earlier. Then an explanation that polls show Reform would win a general election with graphs and a diagram of the House of Commons chamber.
What?

Steve Lodge 🔶 @comedysteve.bsky.social · 18d

No mention of the Lib Dem conference on the radio 2 news this morning. Instead they report on the infighting in the Your Party, which happened days ago. I think they're being sarcastic at Ed Davey's challenge to their bias.

Great to see Denise supporting proactive action on SEND in Devon. www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n...

Devon’s SEND playbook echoed in fresh Westminster overhaul bid

Devon’s cabinet member for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) says recommendations from a major Select Committee ‘could have come directly from Devon’.

I bumped into Simon McKorkindale at the Tarr Steps. I had to explain who he was to my mother, and all I had was Manimal.

Interesting as ever, Emma.

Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 24d

Last week the Express ran with the following front page.

So obviously I had to take a look!

Is it true?

How does it compare to other professions?

Because anyone familiar with British RW media discourse knows they reserve a special venom for civil servants…🤷🏼‍♀️

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.
