The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar
Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

🎵 All I want for Christmas is … for-brands-to-stop-advertising-with-toxic-outlets 🎄🎁🧑‍🎄

On our Naughty List this year: brands that are regularly advertising on one or more of some of the most toxic UK media outlets, funding their spread of climate denial and conspiracy theories.

Very exciting to see my face against the first of my four-part column in @mslexia.bsky.social about how to set up your own writers workshop, like how three mates of mine and I have done with @blackheathwriters.bsky.social

Normalising mass killing should not be rewarded, and banning Israel from Eurovision is the least we can do. LDFP are dismayed at Ed ignoring the genocide of 70,000 Palestinians (347 since a so-called “ceasefire” was called.) Ed’s statement does not represent the views of our members and supporters.
"There is a ceasefire in Gaza and therefore this action is the wrong thing"

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey hiding behind the pretend 'ceasefire' (which is the point of it) & saying its wrong for countries to boycott Eurovision. Pathetic. Supporting BDS is the very least anyone can do

The majority of the UK’s richest are happy to live here & pay their taxes.

But what about the greedy few that use the UK to get rich, then bail when it's time to pay their dues?

The UK needs a settling up tax, just like 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇳🇴 🇯🇵.

The UK should join countries like the US,  France, Germany and Japan and introduce a settling up tax— sometimes known as an exit tax.

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law.

This must be a wake up call.

We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years.

Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

Let’s make “pay it forward” mainstream again! It’s so negative out there, but you have power with caring and your heart to do something nice for someone. 🌱

When immigration agents arrest Americans without sufficient cause, detain them without access to counsel, or ignore proof of citizenship, they fail their duty to protect the public.

I’m asking for an investigation into DHS’s arrests, detentions, and deportations of U.S. citizens.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

So basically this week Kier was able to defend 'taking a risk' on Mandelson having links to Epstein but was not able to stand up to Musk inciting racist violence on our streets...what is the point of Labour?
