This is a superb speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social
It’s why the #BBC make Question Time, in order to hear different voices, and Zack’s is undoubtedly the strongest in the room here.
“You’re a Government of cowards.” Spot on. Labour *never* speaks positively about immigration #bbcqt

A jeans ad made her notorious. Then she got cosy with Taylor Swift’s arch-nemesis. Time to get up to speed before the actor/model next hits the headlines …

The BBC is the biggest prize in the information war – and the right may be about to destroy it
The corporation is always under attack. But this time it has been sabotaged by conservative ideologues deep within its heart. Is it time for the culture secretary to step in? By Dorian Lynskey

I renewed my car insurance yesterday over the phone and as I was about to hang up, the lady asked me if I had a pet. I said, “Yes. I’ve got a dog.” She said, “Would you like to insure him, too?” I replied, “No thank you. He can’t drive!”…

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

“Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

The far-right mob in London paled into insignificance compared to our Remain marches. Especially the one in 2018. Between 700,000 and a million people turned out. The Labour front bench stayed away. They also ignored its message. But the voters who took part in it haven't disappeared.

I've seen posts saying that Farage faked his photo with Trump in the oval office. I found and overlaid the original photo they say was used (yes, I have way too much free time...) and I don't think that's true, however Trump is weirdly similar in both photos! Is it a waxwork model?

This from Tony Blair is net zero nonsense. He talks of growing fossil demand from China, when in fact it has peaked. Prevention (green energy) is always better (and cheaper) than cure.
