Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

Things have moved on in a positive way since the 80’s.
Thatcher said there was no such thing as society.
Ken is keen that there is 👍

Nice positive point from the teacher in the audience who said children use SM less than adults & gave us reason to hope.

In response to the 19yr old.

The consequences of social media are
1. my blood pressure rises every Thursday at 22.40
2. There’s some fun interactions with other #bbcqt ‘sufferers’

The rich have the capacity to offshore their wealth.

They won’t be leaving.

The evidence was that the coffers were empty after 14 years of the Tories
but would anyone have voted for Labour if they had indicated they would put up taxes?

Kruger seems to want to bring back austerity despite evidence that it didn’t work.
No wonder the chap in the audience complained about “doom & gloom”.
The U.K. has been living with 14 years of underfunding courtesy of the Tories.

People in the audience who appear to want to make racist points about grooming gangs will be shocked to hear about these guys.

From what I can see immigration has propped up our NHS and care system for many years.

How can the woman in the audience say about migrants “we don’t know anything about these people” in one breath,
then make veiled accusations that they are attacking women?

Lady in the audience worried about migrants and women’s safety will be shocked when she hears 1 woman in 3 days is killed by their partner.

I propose that the “doom & gloom” the audience member talks about started with Brexit.

While the media obess over gossip and a rumour mill of their own creation, the government get on with the job.

A job which, over time, people will see the positive impact from, regardless of the media.

Here the PM visits an FE college in Wales where the students will benefit from the 1st SMR.

I don't understand why this Labour government wouldn't implement these recommendations over child abuse, ASAP.
If I were advising this government. I'd implement these changes and make a big fanfare about it.
Lord knows, they need a good news story, right now.

X is a radicalisation machine that pushes people into angry extremism, peddles disinformation and conspiracy theories and is run by an egomaniacal lunatic who threatens civil war on our streets and wants to trash our democracy.
It does nothing but harm.
So, yes. Government should stop using it.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?

Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.
