Nice to see #bbcqt have dedicated an entire hour to the immigration debate cos we definitely don’t spend morning, noon & night incessantly discussing it ad nauseam

The Kemi Badenoch who backed austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson & a Liz Truss mini budget is the same Kemi Badenoch furious at measures being implemented in an attempt to ease the dire impact of austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson & a Liz Truss mini budget

For a man so against the BBC he doesn’t half spend a lot of time on it

It was par for the course that a Tory Chancellor would appear the week before the Budget, state that they couldn’t say anything about it, drop it on the country & never be interviewed about it again

Fair play to Reeves for bucking that trend

In the same week the Covid Inquiry concluded that introducing lockdown a week earlier could have saved 23,000 lives and a former Reform politician was jailed for accepting Russian bribes, #bbclaurak hasn’t expended a single second talking about it

That is absolutely appalling
November 23, 2025 at 10:02 AM
Only 2 papers (Guardian & Daily Mirror) decided the sentencing of ex-Reform politician Nathan Gill to 10.5 years in prison for accepting Russian bribes, warranted front page coverage

The Telegraph, Independent, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Times, FT, & The Sun all failed to do so

Reform MP Lee Anderson: “Whilst the Labour front bench continue to peddle their own form of dog whistle politics…

*entire commons laughs in tandem*

…Reform UK are cracking on with the day job”

Kemi Badenoch seems to think the Tories left the country in a state of milk and honey as opposed to a completely derelict mess that any government of any colour would struggle to instantaneously mend

Shabana Mahmood: “I wish I had the privilege of walking around this country & not seeing the division the issue of migration & asylum system is creating across this country. Unlike him, unfortunately, I am the one that is regularly called a f*cking p*ki & told to go back home”

There has now been 9 episodes of #BBCQT since it returned from its summer break

A Reform representative/mouthpiece has appeared on 5 of them:

Kruger - Nov 13
Goodwin - Oct 30
Dorries - Oct 23
Yusuf - Oct 9
Tice - Sept 25

But please tell me more about the BBC’s left wing bias

Nigel Farage fails to use the opportunity to criticise a Reform councillor who described some children in care as "downright evil" and instead jumps on his anti-immigration hobbyhorse

Chris Packham on the political shift on climate change: “It’s no secret that the fossil fuel companies are funding Reform and The Conservatives - that’s a fact. These people are either denying something extremely dangerous or they’re puppet-ing it for their paymasters”

So the Liz Truss mini budget supporting, opaquely funded ‘think tank’, the IAE are happy with it

What could go wrong?

So…Farage’s big economic plan is to stick unelected businessmen into ministerial roles within government, deregulate the banking sector, help non-doms, drill more North Sea gas, “substantially” cut welfare, reduce the public sector (and pensions) & cut IHT

Why is there a completely unelected representative of a party with 5 MPs being asked the exact same questions about a major incident, only minutes after the entirely elected Secretary of Defence answered them?

Former Tory MP Michael Gove on Rachel Reeves: “The revelation that her research team had taken material from Wikipedia, I don’t believe she knew that, but it had impact on her credibility”

That’d be this Michael Gove. Now Lord Gove…

Wes Streeting: “Reform is a Party that thinks that our flag only belongs to some of us who look like me, not all of us who built this country. The people who died for our freedom & democracy weren’t just my grandfather, who look like me & worship the same god as me”

Wes Streeting on Reform’s Sarah Pochin: “She’s only sorry that she’s been caught & called out & she said the quiet bit loud. What we’ve seen in recent weeks/months is a return to 1970/80s racism. I think what she said was racist”

Tories, like Chris Philp, seem to think 14 years of mismanagement & underfunding is less egregious than just over 14 months of a Labour government trying to fix the mess left by 14 years of mismanagement & underfunding

Tory MP Alex Burghart: “I find it a bit weird that the BBC put two businesses on who have been negatively impacted (by Brexit) and none who have been positively impacted”

Naomi Smith: “I’m sure they can get a hedge fund on to make a positive case”

Badenoch: “When will you do X?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow”

Badenoch: “But when exactly will you do X?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow at 12”

Badenoch: “We really need to know when, so when will it be?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow, 12 noon”

Badenoch: “But when exactly?”

Every week

Kemi Badenoch once again creating a completely open goal for Starmer after she criticises this Labour government over the China spying case only to then have her own words on China read back to her

She’s absolutely woeful at this

How is it even a thing that a truly woeful former Tory MP, who did nothing in office other than piss off to the Australian jungle for weeks on end & failed to speak in Parliament for a year, can now be given a prime spot on #bbclaurak just for changing her political allegiance?
