The authoritarian president who'd be in prison were he not elected. who told people to drink bleach during COVID, appointed an anti-vax conspiracy theorist to oversee his nation's health and refuses to answer questions over his activities with Epstein, appears to be influencing who runs the BBC.
I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

Since we’re in the mood for strict accuracy in broadcast news, worth noting that a rival channel had a pundit - unchallenged - say asylum seekers in hotels committed 44% of sexual offences in one county, seemingly because she cannot understand basic maths.
A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

Shit-in-our-rivers-Tories say they'll abolish stamp duty? Is anyone going to ask how they propose to pay for that? Or are we just trusting the shit-in-our-rivers Tories on making sure public services are safe?

BBC interviewing a Republican strategist who calls the killer of Charlie Kirk, "influenced by left wing politics." There are lots of theories being touted but none have been established as fact. Indeed the opposite has also been suggested. Why are they allowing this to go unchallenged?!

“If a man has a little fight with the wife they say this was a crime”

Trump downplays domestic violence to imply it’s only being counted as a crime in D.C. to hurt him 🤔

There is no bottom

The ECHR creates a backstop of legal appeals against changes to UK Laws.

Without it the Government could scrap the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Working Hour Limits and Paid Holiday in 1 day and there is nothing you could do.

This is exactly what Farage would do.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

@andreajenkyns.bsky.social performance on @channel4news.bsky.social: VAWG is intolerable. @krishgm.bsky.social: but that's societal, not immigrants. Jenkyns: It is some! It's cultural!

Many of us would much rather share our country with people that risked their life to be here, than those who are born here but spend all of their time & energy on resentment, hatred, and conspiring to harm.

Whenever you hear ‘Undocumented illegal men’ always know there’s an extremist agenda at play:

- 40% of asylum applicants are women & children
-100% of asylum applicants undergo biometric screening & checked on international databases
-100% of asylum applicants are lawful

True story this. Went to the funeral yesterday for a guy who played the dame every year in the local panto.

The vicar stood in front of the coffin and asked where he was and we all shouted 'he's behind you.' A lovely moment.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social just heard your discussion re #Adolescence. 🤬 To hear two men cover the dramatic merits, depiction of school life, but not once toxic masculinity, misogyny or VAWG made my blood boil! 1 woman in England and Wales is killed every 5 days. 1/2

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
