The Tory placemen planted at the BBC by Boris Johnson are deeply compromised and clearly need to make way for more neutral figures

Just so.

This is insane. Even if Reform managed to poll 22% of the vote it still means 78% don’t want them. The govt needs to clear out the BBC board which is packed with hard right Tory/Brexiteer loonies. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/bbc…

The Daily Mail has not been a newspaper for years It's a right-wing propaganda pamphlet read by the disappointed wives of not very successful businessmen

Nearly 0% of UK millionaires have left the country because of Labour policies on tax, despite frequent reporting from the media. Tax Justice Network have found that just 0.3% of the UK's millionaires left the UK in 2024.

And ANOTHER ONE gone. #Reform in #Kent KICKS councillor Daniel Taylor, OUT OF THE PARTY, with immediate effect ... “due to a very sensitive set of circumstances”. Which is pretty vague. What are Reform not saying ? buff.ly/wk0yYWi

#Reform, in #Kent ... Chaos: Meetings cancelled, noshows, multiple resignations, now a councillor suspended & REFERRED TO THE POLICE. Then the Reform Leader of the Council demands a 4 MONTH DELAY untill they do anything. And now she's suddenly GONE ON AN UNSCHEDULED HOLIDAY.

I don't think anybody thought #Kent CC would start to unravel this quickly ... #Reform bring chaos in their wake. (As did #Ukip in #Thanet, a complete dogs breakfast that lasted just 9 months)

If we have to nationalise Thames Water we should strip the shareholders of every penny and refuse to honour its debts

Britain's richest man, Brexiter Sir Jim Ratcliffe, moved to Monaco to save £4bn in tax. So much for the patriotism of the Brexiters.

We spent years doggedly uncovering the government’s cronyism during the pandemic, including Michelle Mone's dodgy dealings. Now she’s facing the High Court. About time. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

Just a little reminder in the midst of the debate about budgets, spending reviews, tax, borrowing, and the state of public finances: Brexit costs £40 billion a year in lost tax revenues!

I notice that yet again those big brains who urged us all to vote for Brexit in 2016 are once more complaining about … the consequences of Brexit. It’s a bit sad really.

They knew. But they sold flammable cladding anyway bit.ly/442Sxq7 unearthed and revealed by journalists, not by the expensive public enquiry

Repost if you think Brexit it is one of the worst political decisions Britain has ever made. #ExitBrexit

#r4today Kemi says Keir should apologise.

Somewhat strange to hear Nick Robinson haranguing an NHS Consultant for being on “over £100,000” and claiming to channel the feelings of ordinary people. His salary in 2024 was between £345,000 - £349,000. For presenting radio programs. Which never saved anyone’s life?

Nigel Farage is set to make a speech on Monday about the “the rich and the poor”. Wonder what side he’s on…

It gets worse. Thames Water may be forced to amend and republish its accounts from last year as they were possibly misleading. I think it's long overdue that Thames Water's external auditors PwC UK were called before a select committee to answer a few questions.

Betty Webb MBE (1923-2025) was the last surviving codebreaker who deciphered both Nazi and Japanese codes at Bletchley Park during the Second World War.
