Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

In a world where we are becoming increasingly inward-looking, the study of MFL is more important than ever - it’s a way of looking outwards and understanding difference. By learning to listen, understand, and communicate we learn tolerance and respect for others. Something sadly lacking these days.

David Lammy describing the SNP as “a national security threat” in the Commons is a very dangerous moment for our democracy. The SNP is a peaceful party which got 1.3 million votes at the last Holyrood election.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

And that has just rejected #SwiftBricks - a modest amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill that would have ensured a future for beautiful birds for whom a place to nest is a matter of life and death
Is this same Labour Government expanding airports,
refuses to rule out extracting more fossil fuels from the Rosebank Oil Field
Intent on destroying bats, newts and doesn't care about nature?
Not sure going to Brazil alone is going to do much good.

Looks like the Big Issue is the latest publication to go down hill and churn out rubbish articles based on a public commentator’s opinions rather than actual facts
Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.

The moment you want to look as though you're being horrible to displaced and unfortunate people who depend on you for mercy, you have become the instrument that the fascists need.
When you hide the vulnerable in prison camps so no one can see the cruelty, you create ample space for horrors.
