This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.
"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Trump IS the most corrupt American President in history. The BBC are cowardly for taking this decision, for not defending democracy. It undermines them.

In 2025 alone, The Telegraph was forced to publish over 100 corrections, clarifications, and formal regulatory apologies, significantly more than the 33 corrections the BBC was forced to make, despite the BBC's larger output.

To allow the BBC to be defunded, decayed & ultimately destroyed by right wing ideologues is to finally submit to a society based on callousness & selfishness, and an end to what we have claimed for generations to be true British values.
We must fight for it.

If there is a national institution that reflects, represents, and encompasses the shared social and cultural values of the UK, it is not the royal family, it is the BBC.
Ultimately that's why the Tories hate it, because it is a bulwark against selfish individualism.

The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

Remember all the media attention when 50-70 prisoners a year were released in error under the Tories? Yeah, me neither. This is not new so why is it only making headlines now?
*From 2010 through roughly 2023, the number of prisoners released in error was around 50 to 70 per year*

I often wondered how this photo could happen. How did they find so many seemingly 'regular' people willing to sign up to be concentration camp guards and commit atrocities (and apparently enjoy their job). Now I know.

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.
It’s hidden under Welsh news.
Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.
Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼♀️

An increasingly dictatorial president is deploying the military and police against their enemies, and is using ‘emergency’ powers across the board.
This is a common phenomenon, the world over.
If you think it is somehow different because it is the US, then you have fallen for exceptionalism.

Farage is an absent MP, earning a fortune from side grifts. His ‘party’ is in hock to fossil fuel donors. He’s pro Trump, pro austerity (DOGE) and his ‘policies’ are nothing more than ugly populist hogwash that have done real damage to our country.

Having just watched a report on the increasing number of people turning to AI agents for relationship advice, we can't be far away (if not already there) from a significant slice of voters asking ChatGPT/Grok/Siri/Whatever to tell them for whom they should vote. Take a moment to think about that.
