The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.
No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Any party can make manifesto commitments but sometimes the realities of govt can make them undeliverable. #Labour were wrong to say they would not increase taxes. Pretty obvious that you have to do whatever it takes, however unpopular!
