Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

Breaking. Sir Geoff Hurst has given his World Cup Winners medal to Donald Trump.
Sir Geoff says he was inspired to outwit West German defenders by Trump's determination to avoid going to Vietnam.

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer
1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else
2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

If you need a demonstration of how GMB often descends into Susanna Reid and Andrew Pierce supporting each other's crap while Kevin Maguire is trying to get a (truthful/factual) word in, this is it.
Susanna Reid is contemptible and should be fired. Pierce should be left to GB News.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
