BBC News’s political editor, Chris Mason, appears to toe the line of political impartiality.
Unfortunately, when he comments on Rachel R & Keir S as being unpopular politicians in an unpopular government but remember how he would gloss over unpopular Tories & their woeful govt…! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄 #BBCbias

Seems strange that people like air traffic controllers went to work and did not get paid, while house member did not go to work but were getting paid. Just shows how messed up our system of government is.

The $50 billion pot will be spread so thinly, with questionable goals ranging from tech innovation to MAHA, that it looks unlikely to save rural hospitals that are at risk of closure.

Utter hypocrisy and bandwagon jumping from the party that set up every asylum hotel and made them necessary by slowing down the processing of applications. The Tories are a joke.

A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
