Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

X is a radicalisation machine that pushes people into angry extremism, peddles disinformation and conspiracy theories and is run by an egomaniacal lunatic who threatens civil war on our streets and wants to trash our democracy.
It does nothing but harm.
So, yes. Government should stop using it.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?

Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

So, just seen #LiarStarmer state that the briefing against #Grease-monkeyStreeting "did NOT come from Downing Street".🤥

Followed by a "snorting," response from #Peston..🤭 "yes it DID come from Downing Street!"

So WHO'S #Lying?🙄

And #Politicians wonder why we #SkintLittlePeople DESPISE them!🤥😬🤢🤮

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."
Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off
Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel.
So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off…
There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.

The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯

How embarrassing for the UK.

Morgan McSweeney despises the left, this why Starmer’s Labour Party was ‘changed’, and why they are in hoc to corporate donations and corporate infiltration of government.

If you really want to tackle inequality, consider a “tax-back” scheme, where profits have been increased by paying low wages, which are then topped-up by benefits.
Tax the companies the exact amount of benefits paid to their employees.

Nobody working full time should need benefits.
Living wages.

You won’t convince me. There have been 2 Labour governments in my lifetime - the first was brimming with war crimes and the second is Austerity 2.0. A ‘progressive party of the future’ does not declare us an island of strangers and equate Palestine Action with Al-Qaeda. Absolutely done with you lot.

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.

It has made JD Vance very mad.

It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?
