The BBC's shocking cowardice on this issue is itself highly political. theguardian.com/media/2023/mar…

So Lineker steps down, but BBC chairperson Richard Sharp, who helped facilitate an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson and who's personally donated £400,000 to the Conservative party stays in his job ... got it... impartiality

Right wing propaganda is overwhelming the country. Its never been more important to fight back with the TRUTH. I’ve done my best to hold this piece of crap Government to account for many years. If you like my films & reports please RT/follow & help me reach as many as possible

Two press stories today highlight the grotesque inequality we face in our country: ▪️ Rishi Sunak has had the electricity grid in his area upgraded to heat his private pool ▪️ England has lost almost 400 swimming pools since 2010, with more health-deprived areas losing out most

Deeply depressing debate on #RefugeeBanBill - Braverman continuing to stir up division & hate, defending the indefensible, breaking international law & launching profound attack on asylum, blocking people seeking safety from ever being granted protection or justice #StopTheBill

Govt is letting aviation companies get away with reckless polluting for free, & forcing cash-strapped public to pick up the tab. Ministers must end these free pollution permits immediately & make high-carbon companies pay for their climate-wrecking damage opendemocracy.net/en/emissions-t…
