It's real, and it's mind-blowing.
A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump, Farage or their cheerleaders at GB News.
Keir Starmer needs to stand up to Trump and defend our BBC, to keep it strong and truly independent.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

The BBC isn’t perfect but it belongs to all of us and plays a key role holding the powerful to account.

Since he was appointed he has meddled in editorial decisions and key appointments and tried to undermine the BBC from the inside.
We would end the process of political appointments so the BBC is truly independent.

Salisbury’s Tory MP John Glen voted for Farage’s bill to take us out of the ECHR and remove your human rights.
We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.
