The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Disgraceful of Kemi Badenoch to say Jackie Long has not said anything about grooming victims/survivors when Jackie has done so much empathetic and important reporting on this issue & platforming victims/survivors.

Born Tomas Straussler in Czechoslovakia he fled his home during the Nazi occupation and found refuge in Britain at the age of eight. He later discovered all four of his grandparents had died in the Holocaust.

Having a great first day as the OBR's website manager. Got all of the content queued up as a scheduled post, ready for a big day, but all of the work is done now.
Now before I put my feet up, time to take a big gulp of water and check the latest news.

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

Truly stomach churning. What's esp disturbing is that this is completely normalized all over the west. Our govts and our press insist, that Israelis are 'civilized' and 'moral', while their victims, Palestinians are barely considered human. Their endless mass slaughter is reported as a 'ceasefire'
53.8% of Israelis surveyed agree that Palestinian citizens should be used as human shields by the IDF.
So there's that.
So there's that.

What is the point of our national broadcaster if it can't get the official Opposition to answer questions like this?
A real failure that a 6 minute BBC interview with the Shadow Home Secretary has simply failed to clarify
- whether the Bill in the Commons stands, or has been dropped?
- whether threat of removal to those currently with ILR stands, or dropping retrospective deportations of 430,000 people

It's wild to me that Kemi Badenoch still has yet to comment in any way on the re-emergence of this stuff on the British right. Is she genuinely so lazy that she won't assert herself to defend her own children? She thinks she's fit to be prime minister!
