That’s why Musk and Thiel are pushing this hard financially.
JD Vance is their man.
Trump gets the win, out in 12 months because of his mental health issues (which will also be used as defence for everything)
And Vance takes over.
(I predicted Trumps cognitive health and defence years ago)

Jacob-Rees Mogg supports President Trump's right to sue the BBC

He then repeatedly asks Gillian Tett questions but doesn't let her reply, so Victoria Derbyshire has to step in and tell him off

Good. It's not a good thing to complicit in piracy and murder and I'd hate to see British people prosecuted for such things.

Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump.

Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

Keep asking yourself/reminding yourself who OWNS the majority of UK press and media, and then you can stop wondering why they're so anti-UK, anti-Labour and pro Faragrifski/Boris/Tice etc. After you've learned that, ask who's funding them. This is all you need to do to maintain a healthy skepticism.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

A few posters saying the silence from Starmer vis a vis the BBC and Trump is deafening, took me 2 seconds to find this. Not sure Labour comms is the problem, it's people who expect to be personally spoon fed every statement and announcement and have simply missed the reports.

it's amusing that people love to rag on Masayoshi Son for some of his more public investment fails, and are seeing this as a 'buy' signal for NVDA; but don't consider the longer term performance of Softbank, which has had it off this year in particular being +147%:

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Went on LBC News earlier to discuss the BBC shambles.

I said the BBC has kowtowed to Trump in the US and conservative outlets here - both of which want the Beeb dead.

Two of the most senior people quit over a 10-second clip using Trump’s exact words, albeit put closer together than he’d like.

They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review.

That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days.
