The Trump suing the BBC story is going to go on for a long time. I mean, why not? It's a stupid amount he's claiming to sue for - billions... a sure cert to make it into the news.
Which is the point.

The number of times people make wrong assumptions when correct information is provided in the first paragraph of an article is terrifying

Would someone ming explaining to me how, when the BBC is 'caught' doctoring a video to fit a 'left wing' agenda, it is the decidedly right wing director general who ends up resigning?
Call me cynical, but surely that suggests that something else is going on here?

The more I see news reports of a non-white person commiting a heinous crime, without seeing similar stories when white people do the same, the more I feel the media is trying to manipulate me. It hacks me off.

Apart from the ludicrous suggestion that career-motivated politicians care more than teachers, what strikes me is that parents are reporting the system doesn't work.
I wonder how many of these parents encourage their children to read at home.
Education is not just about schools!

For those using the "all refugees are commiting sexual crimes and therefore must go" argument, the same logic would lead to all white men being forced out of the UK.
Between 77% and 89% of these crimes are comitted by white men...

I don't understand how the media obsessed with 'balance' can allow someone to spout fundamentally racist logic on national TV without 'balancing' it with someone else calling them an illogical, ill-informed, bigoted and racist fu*kwad.
Doesn't seem all that balanced to me...

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.
This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.
