What you have is the Fascist Party and the Left of the Fascists Party.
But that's not Left Wing in same way that a Murderer isn't innocent if he stands next to a Serial Killer.

There is no Left Wing politicians in power, since the 1970's Neoliberal 'small Government' that owns and runs nothing has been pushed on almost every western country.
Any Left Wing Government would be undoing it.

What Alyn doesn't point out is that the SNP were always the most popular party, but they were kept out of power because the 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 propped up a 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 minority.

What Liz is trying to say isn't that there are no impartial bodies in public life - she's saying that the ones that she has worked with didn't instantly bend over and do what she wanted.
Which makes sense when we consider... well, that she's Liz Truss.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

The Middle East would like to remind you that that name is from colonial times. They can be called Western Asia though. It’s also incorrect nomenclature since they aren’t in the middle.
