This is the problem with the timidity and fake balance of BBC political coverage. A historic betrayal of Ukraine to Russia by Europe's former ally is boiled down to an utterly superficial row about a man's clothes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How Zelensky's lack of a suit may have fuelled Oval Office spat
The Ukrainian president's military-style attire came up before he was upbraided by President Trump and JD Vance.

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago.

You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Can I ask why anyone in Scotland thought it would be a big laugh to vote in Labour just to spite the SNP???
Anyone who thought that SLAB would be able to stand up to their London master's & demand X Y & Z. They have zero interest in Scotland & would gladly hand all these policies back to London.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

"The Israeli military carries out multiple air strikes across the Gaza strip, killing dozens of civilians"

You wouldn't know this from watching UK news programs this morning, though.

Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Matt Hancock and Michael Gove ran the Covid PPE lanes, while Rishi Sunak rubber stamped every payment.

Given the £14.9bn in fraud they should all be in jail.

RP if you agree.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed.

Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth.

83% all plant life in Gaza destroyed: two devastating reports on Israel's genocide
Two reports detail the hideous consequences of Israel's Western-facilitated genocide. And yet the Western media bury or ignore them altogether.

You can read about this in the Israeli press.

Why isn't this splashed on front pages in the West?

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.

The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry.

The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are.

So do you care?

Feel free to RP to show that you do.
