To imagine that these two corrupt-as-fuck chumps resign over bias against that Orange felon after YEARS of overseeing rampant #BBC bias in favour of Tory and now Reform Ltd bullshit.
The irony is DRIPPING!

Totally agree, Robert.
Now, cue the faux outrage of the MacSwiney Stan bots. Ian seems to attract them. A sample, this one even accuses detractors of lying.

You don’t know? Hate to tell you but it’s the exact kind of thing Americans do - and have always done - to people they don’t like. What people are willing to do to others they’re always willing to to their own, eventually.

Let’s put that in visual form to highlight exactly what you’ve said. This was during Ed Davey’s excellent speech ripping apart faux patriot, Farage, the “member for Clacton” (as Ed reminds us - and him!).
Empty government benches. Cheers #Labour. Always good to know you have our backs.

And murders - so far - 104 civilians in response to an IDF soldier killed.
2 snips: What the Israelis said they did vs What they actually did.
This war will end when Israelis themselves take down war criminal, Netanyahu, before he takes them even deeper into the abyss.

#SequoiaCapital chief operating officer resigned over Islamophobic comments made by partner #ShaunMaguire.
Sequoia’s managing partner, #RoelofBotha, “has described the firm’s approach as “institutional neutrality” and said staff are entitled to their own positions.”
That’s going well, Roelof … 🤔🤷🏻♂️

It all depends of course on how Huda Ammori’s judicial review of Cooper/Mahmood’s decision goes.
Oh. Did I say Mahmood? Shabana Mahmood? This one?
“Heartening to see so many people here at the demo #Gaza” … Right …

Besides being a war criminal, genocidist, & general criminal, #Netanyahu is a complete moron. He ordered the total bombing to rubble of #Gaza, for sure killing hostages he claimed he was “rescuing” (after all IDF shot dead 3 in broad daylight), but expects the remains to be found, just like that 🫰

The sheer folly of this race to the bottom between these two fools trying to outflank their to-be nemesis, Farage, & attract voters who frankly would NEVER vote for their party, if they ever did. Meantime haemorrhaging the many natural voters they have, & paving the way for vicious authoritarianism.

All of which amount to banning the right to free speech and protest. Stop gaslighting and insulting the intelligence of the public, #ShabanaMahmood. All you are doing his paving the way to extreme, authoritarian government.

Starmer urges pro-Palestine protesters to ‘respect the grief of British Jews’
By writing in the #JewishChronicle? That rag when edited by Jake Wallis Simons published gushing adulation of #Israeli war crimes & #genocide.
It exposes yet another example of just how poor a politician #Starmer is.

It is amazing! The double helix (don’t tell me LdV had discovered DNA as well! 😂) gives it quite an Escher-like effect with its different entry/exit points. So many Loire chateaux it’s hard to remember what was where! Pics for others wondering what we’re talking about!

Someone wasn’t impressed. What IS (not) shocking but all too predictable, to quote Mone, is her and hubby’s unbridled greed and rank dishonesty. The chutzpah of her statement here. Absolute crooks the pair of them.

Well. There can be no doubt that #Israel is a corrupt, failing state if in order to end a corrupt criminal PM’s war, the equally-corrupt President has to pardon him. A law-abiding democratic society - apparently. 🤷🏻♂️
Avoiding peace may be more costly than more war.

Does anyone else outside the US find it difficult to access vids filmed over there? I find this constantly - I can access vids anywhere else but not US ones. I just get this little twirling “wheel” as you can see in the pic. Is there some kind of blocking going on? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Applicants being prevented is totally different from reversing already granted citizenship as ending ILR. It would be a legal nightmare for him. His speech also said nothing about revoking citizenship. Besides I doubt he will able to do this - he’s have businesses jumping on him. He’s all mouth.
