OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

🔥NEW: Sir Olly Robbins says there was an expectation from No10 to get Mandelson in post "as quickly as humanly possible".

There was a "dismissive attitude to his vetting process", Robbins says.

The UK is letting the US use UK military bases in its war on Iran – without parliamentary approval. The UK must uphold international law and end its support for this illegal war.

Greens ‘have welcomed’ people expelled by Labour for antisemitism, Steve Reed claims Housing secretary also targets Reform as May elections loom, saying Farage more interested in Trump than own constituency

Labour's strong support for Israel's ultra-Zionist government and it's attempts to force adoption of an extremist anti-Semitic definition means this isn't really the criticism Reed thinks it is.

I wonder how South Hornchurch residents feel about electing a Morris Dancing Councillor? 😃
I love that my daughter relished these dances as much as I did 🥰...she was the star, and we can't wait to dance with the wonderful Rumford Morris again 👒 🎗 🔔

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.

And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.

How and where to see Zack Polanski campaigning in Scotland this week The Scottish Greens have said that having Zack Polanski in Scotland will be “a real boost to our campaign”

Reform’s Richard Tice posts picture with telltale signs of AI manipulation, say experts Deputy leader’s image on X was almost certainly generated or altered using AI, according to Peryton Intelligence

"Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party, said: “There’s nothing real about the Reform party. Their supposed policies to tackle cost of living are fake, they spin stories that are fake and now we know even their campaigners are fake.”

Diane Abbott says PM should consider his position over Mandelson's failed security vetting

Striking image this one

The Labour frontbench unable to even look Diane Abbott in the eye as she asks about the Mandelson-Epstein scandal

These are not the faces of ministers confident that they are on the right side of history

Diane Abbott just skewered Starmer. Paraphrasing:

“Peter Mandelson has a history. It’s not a question about why you weren’t told. It’s a question about why didn’t you ask?”.

The whole country knows it: Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar.

Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar and if he had any decency, he would resign.

Thames Water infrastructure average age is 79 yrs. 40% of assets are 100+ yrs old.

At current rate, it will take 700+ yrs to renew assets.

Since 1989 industry neglected investment, £88bn+ dividends paid, customers fleeced.

Privatisation isn't the answer.
