Headlines on today's OECD UK economy forecast. BBC reporting is getting fucking ridiculous.

BBC : 'Tax rises and tighter spending to hold back UK growth, OECD says'

Reuters : 'UK set for faster growth in 2026, slower inflation, OECD forecasts'

“It might take our producer five minutes to find 60 economists who feared #Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

But by the time we went on air we had one of each: we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance.

It wasn’t.”

Ignore the headline. This full version of Rory Stewart's Newsnight interview is absolutely brilliant. He would make a truly great and "humanist" Prime Minister ... but first needs to find a suitable party to stand for, to get elected !

It’s out of control!
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The UK's silent majority of voters needs to wake up and prevent this slide towards extreme right wing and inhumane policies. The levels of intolerant and divisive bilge presently filling our daily news simply does NOT reflect the multi cultural British society I grew up in.

Why are several local councils also now seeking court injunctions to close hotels accommodating asylum seekers? "Putting the accommodation needs of ENGLISH people first"? That's turning "naked racism" into official council policy! Shame on them!

Such a sad act of deliberate vandalism. Why oh why did they chop it down ?

Symbolic of Brexit. This majestic tree was cut down one night by a few idiots, now sent to prison. The remaining stump is (like an island) "protected" behind an ineffective border. But GOOD NEWS: the tree is re-sprouting, though will never be restored to its former glory...

Thames Water is circling the drain - but the govt is letting private equity vultures KKR take over.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

So the regulators could just "cap" the number of followers permitted by anyone on a platform NOT verified to be a reliable source... rather than banning them outright
Isn't it the major influencers that need to be fact-checked, rather than the platforms that they publish on? Just putting my own 2p worth out there... (1)
