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?

I cannot for the life of me understand why some are so against Starmer. He's improving this country by the day in tough circumstances, following 14 years of utter Tory devastation.
The UK electorate have short memories, narrow minds & little patience, & allow the MSM to manipulate them like sheep.

That it’s ok to be weak, to be a coward in the face of wrongdoing? To abandon any and all principles?

How the BBC kowtowed to Boris Johnson. Amazing that, even though we now know what a corrupt, mendacious, useless Prime Minister Johnson was, the BBC are kowtowing to him again

There appears to be no ends to the number of gravy trains set up by the corrupt tory government. No wonder there is no money left.
The government has recovered £74m from excessive profits made by companies running asylum accommodation, the BBC can reveal.
The Home Office said it had recouped the money following a review of contracts after Labour came to power last year.

The amount recouped remains a small percentage of the overall cost of asylum accommodation.

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.
