The government will not achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to. It’s a slippery slope to oblivion youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

Ludicrous from Rachel Reeves.

Equivalent of "we know the flames all around us are worse than expected so we plan to throw an extra thimble of water on them."

Not good enough. If you're going to join the Brexit dots, follow them to their only possible conclusion!

Jordan’s rant is pure race-baiting confused disinformation.

Truly shocking & shameful to hear a BBC employee go off like this on air.

Thank you, Barry, for pushing back & standing up to the tedious angry bigotry that is being forced down our throats 👏👏👏👏
Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Does the UK have a Culture Secretary, with responsibility for this stuff, who might take an interest in how media regulation works? If there is such a person, does anyone know what she/he does all day?

Amazed it took 40 years to reach this conclusion. It was obvious in the 80s, if you bothered to look.

Thatcher used the working-classes' own money to bribe them into voting to destroy their futures, and the Tories have been worshipping her for it ever since.
