I don’t know how anyone can listen to BBC headlines at 6 today without going mad.

One after the other:

1. The BBC was VERY WRONG to broadcast artists who dare call for harm to be done to Israel’s army

2. Israeli forces have killed & displaced hundreds of civilians in renewed bombing today

We didn't dream it! 😡💥
The respectful way Keir Starmer talked about foreign workers when he was running for Labour leader is the exact OPPOSITE of the Farage-cloned way he talks about them now. But to see it here in black & white is still SHOCKING!

Left: Chancellor Rachel Reeves doubles down on cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance

Right: DWP confirms that Rachel Reeves's cuts to WFA will push 50,000 pensioners into poverty

Labour balancing the books on the poorest and the elderly - disgraceful

🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray

I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future.

Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

We abandoned cheap imported chicken more than a year ago. Ok UK free range meat is much more expensive but if you can afford it please do the same. If US chlorine chicken is allowed by Starmer, I shall join the farmer protests.
In a "Fact Sheet" published alongside his tariffs, Donald Trump made clear that Britain would have to accept hormone-raddled beef and chlorine-washed chicken as part of a deal to remove his punitive tariffs.

Starmer better not roll over and surrender!

Dear BBC the USA is not ‘stepping up pressure on Ukraine to agree a peace deal’. It is taking Russia’s side in the war.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It’s quite simple. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

This is exactly why we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it at pace and with urgency. We need share the truth & the facts far & wide - & then, at the earliest opportunity, send those truth twisting & lying charlatans, wherever we find them, packing
Trump just alleged without evidence Ukraine should hold elections because Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating”

Recent polling from Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows as of December 2024, 52% of Ukrainians trust Zelensky

I’m sure UK News shows will be all over this in the morning

A classic example of why it's essential to be properly informed before giving your vote to a scammer.
If people truly understood the consequence of their vote, trump et al would never be elected.

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this.

There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and don’t meet European safety standards.

The vehicle has been seized.

Nobody got rich on their own.
Elizabeth Warren's observation also underpins the argument as to why it is right for the rich to say their fair share of tax.

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.
