Paul sad to agree but you could be correct about Labour👎
If Boris Johnson can appoint former GBNews adviser and pro Israel endorser, Robbie Gibb to the board of the BBC why can’t Starmer replace him? The BBC is under serious threat and Labour don’t seem to care.
Gibb position on BBC board ‘untenable’, says Swinney
The comments come amid a bias row at the broadcaster which has seen two of its top bosses resign.

😠 Bad!
The BBC fiasco shows a core left–right difference, the left long criticised its bias but defends its core principles when unfairly attacked.
The right, having shaped its bias by installing their own, now gleefully throw it under the bus, amplify foreign attacks, and call for its destruction.

Regarding the BBC and journalist integrity. We’ve had examples of a major lack of it before, and yet one of its journalists found guilty of it has been allowed to continue and is more prominent than ever… #newsnight #r4today #bbcbreakfast #politicsLive #bbclaurak

Yorkshire Water flouted director pay rules, secretly handed £660k bonus through offshore parent company.

Regulator OFWAT says that is OK, govt quiet.

Law is just a paper tiger. Abuses continue. Customers fleeced.

Let customers vote on exec pay.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

The fact that the hierarchy of the BBC resigned should be sending out a signal that the trump farce is a stitch up.

I hope every young woman who aspires to have a role in media will read this and understand that a woman like Kelly is not part of the sisterhood . . . she is not one of us!

Sadly have to agree.
Labour lost the trust of left wing and centrist voters by chasing yet spectacularly failing to attract right wing voters.

It's quite simply the most disastrous strategy they could have pursued.

And entirely self-inflicted. None of the extreme chaos the Tories left them had to be tackled this way.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded.

And we need to pay attention.

The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.

Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.

The moral of the story is this:

If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch.

If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.
