Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

‘The BBC don’t realise that these people want their destruction.’
Why are right-wing media outlets so 'exercised' by the editing of a Panorama documentary? James O’Brien has an idea.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone made £65m selling faulty PPE to the Government.
HMRC now wants £39m in unpaid tax — and we think we know why: Barrowman and Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m profit.

Farage is a man of very little of anything, bar BS. This is a guy whose business (literally) is to ween as much as possible from state funds and extremists. He cares not of how, where or what the repercussions are of his greed.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Make sure your MP has left the execrable X.
The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.
As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.
