@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social was on the media round this morning. She was on @skynewsrss.bsky.social and BBC1, but to the annoyance of Camilla Tominey, Cooper wouldn't go on her @gbnewsonline.bsky.social programme. Good! I

I was under the impression that #NigelFarage had seen his arse and chose to boycott #BBCNews. Imagine my annoyance when I turned on #PoliticalThinking on #BBC2 and who's sitting there, smirking, the grifter in chief himself. So I wonder what concessions the BBC made in order to get Farage on?

Are the Editor's of BBC #PoliticsLive embarrassed or ashamed by having @gbnewsonline.bsky.social presenters on their programme. They bloody well should be. Today #CamillaTominey was on the panel and introduced as being from 'The Telegraph'. No mention of her role as a GBeebies presenter, Why not?

@ofcom.bsky.social has chosen NOT to investigate the November interview with US President Donald Trump despite the many inaccuracies and downright lies spouted by the Mango Horror. Surely it's now time for the Culture Secretary to sack OFCOM CEO Melanie Dawes and the rest of her management team.

After North West Tonight a Party Political Broadcast for @reformuk.bsky.social came on. How can this be allowed? For some reason @ofcom.bsky.social allow Reform to have their own tv station that broadcasts far right propaganda into homes across the country, 18 hours a day. Can anybody justify this?

Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson, both MP's.
Matthew Goodwin, candidate for Parliament.
Lea Cunningham and Orla Minihane, both candidates in the next local elections.

It's just been announced that the far right propagandist who masquerades as an academic, Matthew Goodwin, is to be the @reformuk.bsky.social candidate in the forthcoming Gorton & Denton by-election. Let's hope that the Mancs don't fall for his rhetoric and send him packing back to GB "News".

This latest slight against Non US NATO troops by that ignorant slob Donald J Trump should be the final straw. As a minimum expression of British disgust the forthcoming Royal State Visit to Washington should be abandoned. Other European Nations need to express their disgust in their own way.

Trumps performance at last night's White House press conference was shocking. But today's speech at Davos is close to terrifying. It's scary to think that a demented sociopath is now in charge of the world's largest economy and military. How could Americans vote to put Trump in The Oval Office?

Is anybody watching #Trump's press conference. 15 mins in and he looks and sounds every one of his 79 years. Mumbling into his microphone to insult people of Espanic and African origin. I've heard more coherent conversations in an old folks home. Can we really cope with three more years of this?

Sociopath traits, linked to Antisocial Personality Disorder:
A persistent disregard for others, marked by manipulative charm, deceit, lack of empathy, impulsivity, and poor conscience, leading to shallow relationships and rule-breaking.
Sounds like a pretty accurate description of #DonaldTrump.

#BBCNews reports that #DowningStreet will be trying to figure out the implications of the additional tariffs being applied by the orange twat in the White House. Excuse me but their isn't anything for #HMGov to figure out. UK should impose retaliatory tariffs on the US IMEDIATELY. No messing about!

The Orange Terror is to heap further tariffs on countries that refuse to support his takeover of Greenland. Now is the time for the UK and the EU to admit that the senile buffoon can't be negotiated with and it's time for us to retaliate against the US. We can't just take this lying down.

A thought for football fans who are planning on going to the #USA for the #FIFAWorldCupFinals.
If the prospect of being grabbed off the street and moved to a holding cell in El Salvador where you will have your head shaved and put in ill fitting boxer shorts doesn't appeal to you, STAY AT HOME.

Am I a cynical git? Listening to #DonaldTrump this afternoon I couldn't help but think this is fraud on a massive scale. I believe that the Trump crime family will be amassing a huge amount Venezuela's massive oil wealth for themselves and their cronies. #Venezuela about to get fleeced big time.

Just dipped into @gbnewsonline.bsky.social and got to say the bottom of the barrel has been well and truly breached. Hosting tonight: Beverley Turner, Alex Kingston, Ben Leo, Miriam Cates and the real surprise, they've dug up old Crafty Wank - Darren Grimes. What an absolute shambles.

The names of 7 "left leaning" Judges were read out one evening on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social because the channel took issue with their position's on ECHR and immigration. What would @ofcom.bsky.social have done if one or more of those Judges had been attacked by a knuckle dragging GB "News" viewer?

I might start watching @gbnewsonline.bsky.social for a bit on Wednesday night. Not that they have anything on but because each week Pub Landlord and Far Right activist #AdamBrooks get's more and more deranged. Can't be too long until he goes right over the top and spout's something really libellous.

#GBNews presenter #PatrickChristys sunk from the gutter to the sewer tonight. He interviewed a "young teenage woman" who had been subjected to a serious sexual assault by an Iranian asylum seeker. The age of the victim is 19 but it was said the Mother also gave her approval for the interview.

As soon as the World Cup is presented to the tournament winner the board of #FIFA should demand the immediate resignation of Gianni Infantino. If he won't go voluntarily then he should be fired on the grounds that he has brought FIFA and Football itself into disrepute.
He's just a Trump clone.

If by any chance the Producers of @bbcaq read this, would they care to explain why another #GB"News" bod is on your panel. Tonight it's the turn of #ChristopherHope the Political Editor. #GBeebies Political wing #Reform UK Ltd would close down the BBC at the first opportunity. So why have them on?

In his press conference #NigelFarage extolled the advantages of crypto currency and how the UK in future should be at the heart of it.
Is it that Nigel has been looking enviously across the pond at the Trump crime family and how much they pull in from Crypto.
Nigel fancies a piece of that I think.

@OFCOM sees itself as an Umpire when it should be acting like an Enforcer. That was the view of an interviewee on Radio4 this morning when discussing the new rules covering online porn sites.
This explains why @gbnewsonline.bsky.social gets away with breaches of the rules. OFCOM doesn't really care.

If all this kerfuffle about wether Reeves lied or didn't lie about the state of UK finances, one thing is surely clear.
We need to go back to the days of pre budget purdah when nothing was leaked about the contents of the upcoming budget.
