Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

The complicity between those two states is going more obvious by the day.

The results of the actions of both only benefit themselves whilst undermining the other democratic developed nations.

They're both manufacturing an immigration crisis..

Food for thought. A Chinese factory is saving millions by turning off their lights.

The lights aren't needed because robots don't need light to what they're doing.

The lights have gone the same way as the people they used to employ.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

Also peddling the breast enhancement misinformation on Have I Got News For You. They completely ignored the fact that the tale has been repeated disputed.

Well done to Ian Hislop for shining the light of hypocrisy on Farage though. @privateeyenews.bsky.social

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Agreed. Time to do away with these irrelevant relics of a past era.

Or at the very least make them pay for their own stuff, including hiring the park for a bit of extra "privacy"

So they kidnapped a foreign aid worker from international waters, imprisoned her and subjected her to humiliation & torture?
