The personal responsibility paradox. It is very often the case that those who tell you it is your responsibility to ensure that what you are told is truthful, and fact-based, feel no personal responsibility for ensuring that what they say or write is truthful and fact-based.

Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this.
The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)

The Times says Reform “has no track record to weigh it down”…
Other than:
Islamophobia, racism, inept councillors, MP absenteeism, admiration for Putin, love of Trump, brazen grifting, idiotic manifesto, dodgy donations and Brexit… the single stupidest thing the country has done in our lifetimes.

Brexit prejudice and lies, the ‘legitimate concerns’ bullshit and allowing social media sites to become cesspits of radicalisation and conspiracy theory… have all led to this dismal place.

A widely shared video claims to show a large number of asylum seekers on a Dover beach.
But the footage isn’t from Dover. It appears to have been filmed on a popular beach in Goa, India.

Viral video does not show migrants at the beach in Dover – Full Fact
A widely shared clip which contains a voiceover of someone claiming people on a beach are asylum seekers at Dover is misleading.

So, the Tory manifesto did not include an inquiry into grooming gangs and the Tories ignored ALL recommendations from the 2022 report, but they attack Starmer for smearing “those concerned” as “far right”. Which he didn’t.
They’re just the most repulsive bunch of arseholes.

I’ve wondered why super-rich owners keep pushing right-wing bias in their papers, since they no longer reflect or drive public opinion (if they did, the Tories would have won the last election). I think it’s that they’re still paid attention by MPs/journos/BBC. And maybe they’re a comfort blanket
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility
