Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

BBC announces S2 of Celebrity #Traitors

@rickedwards1.bsky.social takes a few weeks off from @bbc5live.bsky.social Breakfast.

@rachelburden.bsky.social I'm sure will clear this up.

Obviously, it’s been a tough day for the BBC. Big organisations, working under big pressure, will sadly make errors

But I still feel huge pride in hosting a BBC podcast, and having previously spent 11 years making a world-renowned children’s show that no other broadcaster would have made

If you don’t like the BBC, I suggest that you go to America and watch their TV for a day. It gives you a migraine. The BBC also keeps the standards of the other outlets relatively high. If you think we watch shit now, imagine it with no BBC. And they actually care about drama, children’s, factual.

Britain is not in the grip of mass violence.

The Cambridgeshire train stabbings were horrific - and incredibly rare.

Your odds of being attacked by a stranger are much lower than they were.

Here's the facts! 👇

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Reform say a lot of stuff
None of it is costed or credible or risk or feasibility assessed
Soundbites aren't solutions as they are finding out in local councils

What a chancer Nigel Farage is. His Brexit caused a massive surge in immigration, and now he tries to position himself as the person who will sort it out.

Reform is the answer to none of the UK's problems, unless you think that billionaires need to be even richer and you don't like having an NHS.

Just finished S2 of #Juice.

Dark and (deliberately) surreal, but utterly uplifting - and stuffed with perfect exchanges like this one.

I fully endorse the proportion of my licence fee which pays for BAFTA Comedy Award Winner Mawaan Rizwan.

This week we’ve had a Reform MP (Nigel Farage) call a female interviewer “love”, and another Reform MP (Sarah Pochin) say it drives her mad when she sees “adverts full of black people, full of Asian people”. Welcome back to the 1970s.
