BBC News has a broken impartiality framework that results in promotion of far-right parties and views, inflating their popularity. Reply to my complaint about "Why one small town with very little immigration turned to Reform UK" promoted to 20m people because immigration was "probably" a reason(!)

Pulmonaria is my favourite starter perennial if you are new to dividing plants. It's incredibly forgiving and an early source of nectar for bees (UK/Ireland).

This is such a great demonstration that most plants are quite hardy and one doesn't have to be too precious or careful. I think many folks are unsuccessful at #gardening because they're afraid. Just get in there and get your hands dirty. See what works, learn from what doesn't.

Not the main reason they should have resigned, they should have resigned for fostering a BBC News that promotes far right propaganda constantly, promoted USA news and values constantly and allows opinion to filter through under the guise of “research” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

Practice I did in my lesson yesterday. I want to revisit this view when I’m a bit further along with certain techniques but I’m pleased with how it came out in the end. It’s part of a future series of paintings I’m saving up in the back of my mind.

“Musk would leave if they didn’t agree” no one is irreplaceable - we have to stop pandering to billionaires. This is the problem, the super wealthy are protected by millions of minions who are essentially paid to defend them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Breaking up monopoly landownership is good news. More land should be in the hands of communities, where it could still be used for farming, nature or other with community oversight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Why is land reform on the agenda in Scotland?
MSPs are set to vote on legislation which could allow the government to intervene in private land sales.

This is how poor UK political media has become, we all know the UK needs tax rises on the wealthiest individuals and most profitable businesses. Even Farage admitted that by removing their policy to reduce taxes yesterday. Yet media continue Conservative-led bashing of Labour if they increase tax.
