No more blatant example of Question Time’s bias than this.

Goodwin is a Reform activist and GB News presenter - you’d have to be intentionally blind to think he’s an academic

I believe the social media and publicity for Question Time is handled by the production company which makes it, Mentorn Media. There’s clearly something seriously awry. #bbcqt

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

I'm gobsmacked by this #OliviaRodrigo performance at #Glastonbury. I'd heard a couple of pop princess singles on the radio and thought it was a mad call to have her headlong. But no. EPIC.
I'll watch #TheProdigy tomorrow. Hope they live up to the hype I'm reading.

Why does the BBC reporter say 'One businesswoman in Lowestoft is very angry' without mentioning she's Reform UK's fisheries spokesperson, June Mummery?

Nick Ferrari is a talent-free, over-the-hill, reactionary meat sack whose only means of making a living is to deliberately misrepresent facts in order to sow anger and resentment.

It’s hard to believe why anyone still pays him attention.

Reform UK melts down over a youth mobility scheme, backed by LBC’s far right fog horn Ferrari who whines, “Isn’t that just freedom of movement?” Labour’s Rosena Allin-Khan shuts it down: “We’ve got similar deals with Australia and NZ. #ukpolitics

Actually, no. Econonic inactivity as a percentage of nearly all age groups had been consistently reducing for the past 30 years (according to DWP stats).

Jimmy Lai, an immensely wealthy Hong Kong press baron, chose to return from safety abroad to stand with the supporters of freedom in HK. Today is his 1500th day in prison. Jimmy is a friend of mine and I have immense respect for him. He should be free!
