To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism.
It almost always benefits the side with the most power.
In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

I found this article really worrying. It’s so sad when you see tiny children who can’t even walk yet being pushed along in their buggies glued to a phone to keep them entertained/quiet instead of interacting with their parents.

How screen time affects toddlers: ‘We’re losing a big part of being human’
In the UK, 98% of two-year-olds watch screens on a typical day, on average for more than two hours – and almost 40% of three- to five-year-olds use social media. Could this lead to alarming outcomes?

It’s incredible that Farage was too ill to go on BBC Breakfast last minute, but has enough energy to do a Reform rally and Davos this week.
He must have a severe allergy to scrutiny.

Nigel can’t run away forever…Polanski vs Farage will have to happen one day, and when it does, we’ll be here for it!!
Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.
A pattern emerging...

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.

Greens are about level with Labour in the polls and it is likely they’ll be consistently polling ahead in a few months time. If they’re not “realistic” then Labour certainly aren’t.

Farage is apparently 'under the weather' today and unable to talk about the US threats to the UK and Europe over Greenland.
