And Johnson actually put a son of KGB agent into the Lords. Where were the outraged media then?
Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

This is spot on from @adambienkov.bsky.social

Whatever your thoughts on this deal the simple fact is for the first time a UK government is actually doing something to undo the catastrophic damage of Brexit, rather than increase it
“Starmer's EU deal is a big break in the suffocating Brexit consensus that has held Britain back for a decade. For the first time a UK government is doing things to actually undo the damage of Brexit, rather than increase it. For that alone it should be welcomed” 👏

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.

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow.

📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Keir Starmer: "I got a letter this week from a Tory voter in a Labour seat... Liz Truss. It wasn't written in green ink but it might as well have been. She was complaining that saying she crashed the economy was damaging her reputation. It was crashing the economy that damaged her reputation."

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.

The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.

Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

England water firms push for higher shareholder returns.

NO. They picked customer pockets for years, paid high dividends, neglected investment.

They charged for sewage disposal, dumped it in rivers. Customers due a refund.

Let them go bust. Nationalise.

The worst and most obvious hacking of UK and US elections is by the media.

-failure to report the truth of fascism and it’s policies

-bias toward the status quo, and to the right wing narrative

-chasing clicks by platforming the most outrageous people

-and then not challenging them

What else?
