Total politics journalism fail from BBC Newsnight to cover Trump trial. Failing to hold a MAGA mouthpiece to account on her lies, and not informing the viewers of the facts. Disappointed.

Miles Taylor: Trump is a failed businessman. All of the characteristics that made him a failed businessman, he took into The White House and in a lot of ways, he made the government his largest failed venture yet. He rendered so many departments and agencies effectively incapable

The Tory party have received unfair criticism this last few weeks. In the interests of balance,I’ve posted some charts below which show performance in various key areas such as life expectancy, the NHS, trade, immigration and the economy 🧵 #GeneralElection2024

Once again for the fascist fact-averse fucknuggets in the back: FACT: Cy Vance (NY DA at the time) began issuing subpoenas in the hush money payment case in August of 2019. FACT: Fani Willis launched her investigation into Trump in 2021. FACT: The United States House Select

He never gets asked about the lies about Brexit. He never gets asked about his love in with Russia and Russia Today. He exploits relentlessly the fact we have a media with the attention span of a gnat. Is it too much to ask just one journalist to get some answers to questions

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA, You wouldn’t trust a man who said he’d date his own daughter to drive yours home from school, would you? You wouldn’t want someone a judge called a rapist to teach your granddaughter ballet, you wouldn’t hand your company’s books to someone who got punished

.Carol Vorderman YOU ARE BLOODY MAGNIFICENT. EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THIS 🔥🔥🔥

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

So BT is it ok to leave a hard of hearing housebound 93 year old man without a phone? Switching him to fibre and neither you nor Openreach making sure his landline worked before leaving? A landline he has an emergency system attached to… which probably won’t work now.
