Note to all broadcasters: if you are going to platform Reform day in, day out, go the Victoria Derbyshire way. #Newsnight Runcorn MP Sarah Pochin beautifully shown up for the clueless content of the empty paperbag party that is Reform. 👌😂

Am I the only person in the UK who is happy that we actually live in a democracy where the PM's own MPs are not cowed or afraid to challenge policies? This is exactly how a functioning democracy should operate. Give Starmer a flipping break.

The Guardian reports that Israel hit the Al-Baqa coffee-house in Gaza on Monday with a 500-lb US-made MK-82 bomb, killing up to 36 people and injuring dozens more. It says experts in international law believe the use of such a weapon against a civilian target may be a war crime.

Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, Lord Bethell & other senior figures all “lost” vital evidence that should have been presented to the #CovidInquiry

What do you think of Reform UK's @DarrenGrimes who tells constituents he can't hold surgeries with them because he's been advised by the police not to do so for "security reasons". The only problem? Police spokesperson says this is entirely untrue. They gave no such advice.

Margaret Thatcher tears: Sympathy from the Right Wing Media. Theresa May tears: Sympathy from the Right Wing Media. Rachel Reeves tears: Right Wing Media unless a torrent of personal attacks and shit pieces.

It was the Spectator summer party last night. Where do journalists declare their attendance? Particularly the BBC ones? #BBCBreakfast #r4today

Aaron Rupar whoa! what kind of stupid idea is that? donald trump is doing exactly what the evil roman emperor, commodus did in the 2nd century: distract roman citizens from the real problems with fake shows of strength (such as violent gladiator fights, chariot races, animal fight etc.) so

Won't link the bollocks, but Nick Robinson ends his interview article on the BBC with Keir saying; "To pretty much everyone other than him, it currently does look bad. Very bad." The bias against the government from an "unbiased" org is so stark, now. What can be done?

LBC I'm not wealthy , I'm a higher rate tax payer tho, but what they miss is they can earn lots of money As people choose to do jobs where they can't, cleaners, teach, nurses, firefighters , police etc These people deserve to be able to live too Pay your fair share as you benefit

BladeoftheSun In July 2025, Gibb's impartiality was again questioned in an open letter from over 400 media figures to the BBC “we are concerned that an individual with close ties to the Jewish Chronicle … has a say in the BBC’s editorial decisions in any capacity".

So 4 things we learned about #Farage this week : Highest paid MP thanks to his 11 jobs outside Parliament; Receives the highest value of gifts. Among the worst attendees in the Commons. Barely in his 'constituency'. A conman, grifter, fraudster. In it for him, not for you.
