While I applaud the @theguardian.com in general and for headlines like this, particularly compared to our increasingly corporatized and toothless mass media, it continues to amaze me how hard it is for them to say "lies."

Labour actually taking steps to combat the cherry-picking right wing media?? It's a Christmas miracle!
Dear lobby,
Things are gonna change around here.
You have been screwing us for too long.

It's what social media once was and what it should be again!
the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

"The football was on and he was a bit pissed" is quite possibly the worst response I've ever heard to an incident like this. It really does expose the level of laziness Reform is able to get away with when it comes to the press...
Yes, Reform's Events Co-ordinator called LGBT people nonces, but who hasn't when they've had a few drinks? After all, that's when we say what we really think.

Rupert Lowe MP "We have to ask ourselves: why did the postwar elite think this experiment with multiculturalism was a good idea? I don't think any of them have ever really answered that question. But it does, it does seem that there is this malign agenda to create this multicultural world"
![LOWE: "We have to ask ourselves: why did the postwar elite think this experiment with multiculturalism was a good idea? [TC: Yes!]. And I don't think any of them have ever really answered that question". Lowe: [Aside on Northern Ireland protocol, Windsor Protocol, sacrifice on the altar of Brexit].
Lowe: I don't know. I think its a thoroughly bad idea. [TC: It is so obviously a bad idea]. I like nation states who interface with each other, who respect each other, who respect each other's culture and who basically, you know, interface with each other like that. To try and create this ... and, again, does it go to the World Economic Forum? Is it the Bilderbergers? Is it the Council on Foreign Relations? Look, where does the truth lie? I find it, probably like you do, incredibly difficult to work out where the truth lies often in our modern age. {TC: Very hard]. Most people want to live a healthy life, centred around their community and their family, and they want to, you know, be able to wake up in the morning and feel they have done the right thing by everybody. But it does, it does seem that there is this malign agenda to break down families, to break down communities, to create this multicultural world, where I guess arguably a small global elite are able to exert undue influence on how everybody else leads their lives. That is the only solution I can come up with my limited intellect. But it doesn't add up, does it?. It doesn't make sense".
TC: Honestly, it doesn't. And I remember hearing people, 30 years ago, hint that there was some multinational or pan-global conspiracy from the groups you just mentioned ...And now you just watch and the accumulated evidence is overwhelming ...
Lowe: It is not in the interests of our country, it is not in the interests of your country - and none of the electorate want it
TC: So how are we all getting it at the same time?
Lowe: Well, it is a very good question Tucker and I just don't know the answer to that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:refbwihhzcqqfulwhcou44sr/bafkreib7myfruputxoq657dvckwih74wdsmtzuqoahjepdxwbp3tmlhie4@jpeg)

Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom - to kill the BBC off.
I’m often critical of the BBC about them platforming Reform and their constant reliance on what they believe is ‘balance’ BUT the politicising of the Board with people like Gibb needs to be addressed. Get him out.

Although as long as Robbie Gibb is still there it'll still be hopelessly biased toward the Right.
Alright now can the BBC hire a Director General who ISN'T a card carrying Tory?

The BBC thinks this worthy of its news homepage, but I’m still not seeing much about Reform’s financial relationship with Russia. If we had a serious media we might not collectively drunkenly stagger from one idiocy to the next.

This is why the left can't have nice things. For ONCE can we please have a political figure who endorses radical wealth redistribution but doesn't have the old "West=Bad let's cut Putin some slack" mental affliction?
Green Party Leader Zack Polanski wants the UK to leave NATO.
This is a completely irresponsible position to take & would only strengthen Putin's hand in his illegal war against Ukraine.

Farage is rather obviously being protected by the media.
It's going to take more than just Byline Times and Private Eye to really open it up. And it's pretty damn shaming to the craft of journalism.

My head knows this is correct but my heart is not having any of it
“We are trying to hang on, in the back seat of a car, being driven at speed by a maniac. Maybe jumping out or antagonising him is not the right choice. Maybe playing soothing music and engaging him in conversation, until we can get out alive is better. I don’t envy the choice for any politician.”
