They / them (don’t really care, but it saves bigots having to do any proper reading before deciding to hate me).

Exile from GunaiKurnai Country.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

After a morning of interviewing exclusively people from the right, PM speaks to an #LBC presenter on the grounds LBC represents left AND right

… and chooses #NickFerrari, who immediately boasts of being a Murdoch flunky.

You really don’t get it, do you?

Surprise, surprise!

Kirstie Allsopp gets a spot on the show AGAIN, arguing for lower tax on wealthy people buying expensive properties, and needing to buy “new toasters, sheets and towels”

To offset the cost? More tax on those buying smaller, cheaper houses, not needing new towels.

“Not a question of’did he jump or was he pushed?’ … Tim Davie chose to resign” - Nick Robinson

With only Israel, Donald Trump and the entire right-wing UK media demanding his head, whatever prompted Davie to walk away fast?

Anna Foster still talking about the #Gaza #Ceasefire.

Go ahead, Anna. Tell us one single day when #Israel has observed that ceasefire.

“Now we have news of the next #BBCBias scandal …”

Top quality sports journalism.

Perhaps two resignations are not enough to bring back credibility?

Nick Robinson: “Why am I talking about #TheObserver?”

I don’t know, Nick. Is it because The Observer has swung to the right this year and is losing longtime stalwarts - staff AND readers?

“… folks like me, who cannot resist talking about ourselves” - Nick Robinson

You said it, Nick. Let’s never again hear about your Wimbledon seat, or presenters’ holidays in Japan, theatre visits, attendance at sports fixtures, children’s schools, children’s favourite books, …

To avoid future claims of left-wing bias, perhaps #BBC #R4Today should sack any journalist who has accepted a seat in the #RoyalBox at #Wimbledon, or who has accepted free tickets for a West End show?

Wasn’t Tim Davie the #BBC honcho who watched the #BobVylan set at #Glastonbury and didn’t immediately stop the broadcast?

With #Israel ‘remaining completely neutral, as an outside agency’, I’m genuinely surprised he has had to walk.

Just as any complaint of #corruption by Boris Johnson should be taken with a pinch of sodium chloride, allegations of political chicanery by notorious lying git Donald Trump must be seasoned by a few acres of Bonneville Salt Flats.

That old 1-2

#Israel attacks #Syria, unprovoked, with barely a murmur from the rest of the world; #Trump invited the president to visit the #USA.

“Nice country you’ve got there. Probably got a lot of ‘natural resources’. Shame if someone were to bomb it. Let’s talk real estate”

This football tsar given a job for a £5k donation brings shame on UK politics.

Gone the days when a senior minister demanded cash to buy a £multimillion home before appointing a crony, or gave their mistress a job so they could ‘carry on’ through lockdown without the wife knowing.

I know a woman whose “hair frizzed wildly, trying to escape from her head”

How refreshing that someone on the show is now speaking up in defence of my friend and others with #ginger hair.

Didn’t you have an item recently about people desperate to be offended?

Yet again, #TACO #Trump chickens out.

After repeatedly announcing tough sanctions against ANYONE buying #Russian oil and gas, he has given an exemption to #tariffs for #Hungary - a big buyer, AND a #Putin stooge.

In truth, the only people Trump sanctions are #allies of the US.

Did Tim Montgomerie say he had #MentalHealth problems during #Lockdown?

I thought a central tenet of #Reform policy was that mental health doesn’t exist?

Montgomerie will be demanding a #Motability vehicle next.

“We have too many politicians who promise everything and deliver nothing”, says Lee Anderson, a politician who has never delivered anything in any of the three parties he joined, and whose current party is backing away from promises it has been making for years.

Visiting #LeeAnderson in his constituency.

Is he meeting dozens of people, all about his age and who he claims not to know, telling him they are going to vote for him?

You’d be too polite to say it, obviously.

Sorry, did I say ‘polite’? I meant ‘obsequious’.

Surely we already have Energy-from-waste schemes?

How well does AI burn, or is it one of those projects that depends on emissions from its rotting carcass?

… or will it be “lined up” against a wall, relishing its last cigarette, before joining others who betrayed humanity?
