The Chancellor is correct: no child should be penalised for being in a larger family. Scrapping the unfair two-child limit and benefit cap in full in the upcoming budget is the most effective way to cut child poverty, and would lift 500,000 children out of poverty.

Starmer’s lack of response & culture/ media secretary Nandy’s muted response to the orchestrated attacks on the BBC from Trump etc show they are more beholden to US power than defending UK media independence. They should have got rid of Robbie Gibb as soon as they were elected

The Russian Embassy is now echoing Farage and Trump’s talking points about the BBC. This isn’t coincidence 👉 it’s coordination. Undermine the one broadcaster still bound by impartiality, and Britain becomes a propaganda playground. Murdoch was first through the door when the

Israel seems to be doing everything it wants in the occupied West Bank short of formal annexation, and Trump is letting Netanyahu get away with it. theamericanconservative.com/trump-must-loo…

Today I challenged Lisa Nandy to stand up for the BBC, sack Robbie Gibb and end the political grip on the BBC Board. She demurred, and that's the wrong choice. Robbie Gibb isn’t fit to serve on the BBC Board, and the BBC Charter gives the Government the power to sack him. I

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc… 1/12

Anna Sabine MP Anna - you may wish to read this Byline Times article - it states Gibb and his “friend,” Michael Prescott have conflicts of interest, which may be undeclared. This may be all that the BBC Chair needs to dismiss Gibb instantly. Lisa Nandy MP bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…

When I was in Israel two weeks ago, I interviewed IDF soldiers who fought in Gaza and Lebanon over the past two years. When I asked them to describe their experience, one of them told me plainly: "the worst rumors you've heard are true."

Let this sink in. Jobs reports will *never* be released under this president. That means this report is so bad and they anticipate future reports being so bad that they would rather further tank the economy than disclose it.

"Not making payments for the third child impacts the whole family" This piece helpfully draws out the impact on health - you can't separate poverty and health - so policies like the two-child limit cost the health service in the long run ⬇️

Two criminals respond: Putin skipped the BRICS summit in South Africa for fear of arrest on his International Criminal Court warrant. Trump will skip the G20 summit in South Africa because of its case against Israel for genocide which Trump armed & funded. apnews.com/article/trump-…

“The BBC’s coverage of Israel’s genocide is one of the great journalistic crimes of our age.” Mehdi Hasan and Owen Jones flame the BBC for its pro-Israel bias and vent at right-wing gaslighting over the outlet’s “liberal” slant.
