So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

The Hillsborough Disaster happened before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 but enquiries about it are still being released. If the state, media and courts had worked properly and delivered prompt analysis and judgement then it would by now be a footnote in history. #r4today No #JFT97

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?
Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

Former Reform leader in Wales is sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for taking Russian bribes. A great chance for a news show to use this to cover the wider problem of Putin's influence on Reform-But #r4today hasn't time because they have to cover the 30th anniversary of 'Toy Story' instead.

Asked about opposition to yesterdays announcement Reed says all Lab MPs were elected on the same manifesto
Where in the manifesto did it say Lab would deport more kids, seize refugees property & increase the time before they can apply for permanent settlement from 5 to 20 years?

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
