OUTRAGED minority still can’t cope with the idea that Brexit was tried, tested… and failed. 🤦‍♂️

📊 Polling:
• 5 million Leave voters passed
• Youth voters back Rejoin
• 1/3 of Leave now wants back in

🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺Britain is pro-EU.
❌ The only people still keeping Brexit alive are the ones making money off it.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it

We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Great read from @iandunt.bsky.social on whether Starmer should stay or go, including the mystery of how, if you’re launching a popular climate, energy, and growth strategy, why wouldn’t you stage a press conference on it?

I do actually understand why some people/orgs have stayed on twitter.

But if you think you’re on twitter to ‘give your take on the debate’ you fundamentally don’t understand how power works in the 2020s

(A maddening number of journalists/commentators seem to be in this bracket)

It’s a sad reflection on the quality of British political life that when Russia wants to buy influential mouthpieces the best they can get for their money is the pitiful shower of third rate grifters, spiteful bigots, and barking nutters who represent Reform UK.

The BBC is slowly but surely destroying Radio 4 as well. It’s the last bastion of intelligent debate in Britain, yet it’s increasingly becoming a vehicle for culture wars. When the history of the UK in this period is written, the BBC will have a lot to answer for when it comes to stirring division

Wanting the UK to succeed is patriotic.

Asking America to sanction us, like Farage did, isn’t.

That’s not love of our country - it’s sabotage.
