Not that Keir Starmer will see this but can someone tell him that he didn’t win the last election, the Conservatives lost it.
Trying to appease possible Reform voters is not the way to go.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

McSweeney gets a lot of credit for his election strategy.
But people voted to remove the Tories, not because they were inspired by Labour.
I would’ve voted for a rotting corpse if it meant keeping a Tory out.

Starmer must act to stop super-rich individuals using their wealth to fund TV channels that serve as propaganda platforms for their favourite politicians. GBNews is the super-rich buying political power. It is antithesis of democracy, and it must be made illegal.

Be absolutely clear - Russia is fully involved in Trump and Farage's assault on British democracy.
This is not about the BBC. It is about an orchestrated international fascist attack on democracy.
The failure of the BBC is that by promoting Farage it has aided the enemies of truth and democracy.

Trump's errand boy Farage complains about the BBC being untruthful. But he had no qualms about appearing numerous times on Putin's lie factory, Russian TV, or repeatedly parroting Russian propaganda lies.
Farage has no right to speak of the truth. He is a liar serving liars.

There are two procedural hurdles which mean that this case will never be tried.
1. He's out of time for a lawsuit in the UK (one year from broadcast in October 2024).
2. The programme wasn't available in the US which means that no US court has jurisdiction.

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group.
U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines.
They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.
