I swear to god, I bang on about the BBC News programmes that make me rage if I watch them (I haven’t for ages) but damn, if that infirm, dementia addled, egomaniac comes for them you’d best believe I’ll stand up for them.
The BBC is so much more than news.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Do these young people realise that a few days ago Farage said they should be paid less??
Or are they all the types to intern at daddy’s firm, while getting a healthy monthly allowance from their trust fund. So they couldn’t care less about the plebs trying to survive at uni by working in KFC?

This feels more respectable than Farages poppy promo video and his fake patriotism, for sure.
He’s exactly the sort my grandparents fought against in WWII
I feel like they’d approve of dropping milkshake on him!

Unless it ends in a bomber flying over and releasing its cargo of milkshake all over him I’m not interested.
Yes, Nigel Farage made an actual promo video of his poppy performance in Walton-on-the-Naze today.

Tories outraged about a missing migrant prisoner, probably forgot about having to release 13,325 prisoners early to make space for other offenders, because they didn't invest any money in new prisons over a 14 year tenure.

This whole ‘I was assaulted with a sarnie’ case in the USA is utterly ridiculous
But also very funny
Cross examination questions were funny enough ‘do you recognise this sandwich?’
Summary from the defence continues in the same ‘I can believe I’m saying this out loud with a straight face’ way 😂

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”

Extraordinary to hear Reeves cite tariffs and increased defence spending in her speech, as she sets up the blame for tax rises. This message could have been really effective if she'd issued it when Trump introduced tariffs. Now, much less so.
