Please do take five minutes to complain about this to the BBC (and it really does only take five minutes). And demand a reply. This is the big advantage of having a broadcaster funded in the way the BBC is funded. They are accountable to us and they have an obligation to explain themselves.
old enough to remember this kind of Cold War propaganda
(not a Corbyn fan, don't care about the hat — but there seems to be a clear institutional bias at the BBC, and lack of accountability, which should concern everyone)
Point of order: Fa***e has never downed a pint in his life. His constant need to be pictured with a pint is purely performative. He actually hates beer and only ever takes the tiniest sip if he really has to. Man’s a total fucking fraud.
Hi Nigel Farage, don’t forget what Nigel Farage said about Peter Mandelson.
Anyone have an unwanted #LondonMarathon place (non-charity)? Very keen to buy, let me know!
Obviously right thing to do for EU & UK (for its similar agreement with Israel).
Absolutely no excuse for preferential trade agreements with a country that is deliberately defying international law to pursue systematic mass killings, war crimes & ethnic cleansing

Letter on UK Parliament headed paper dated 16 April 2026, addressed to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. Green MPs urge him to maintain the ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences and not approve projects like Rosebank, Jackdaw or Cambo. The letter argues new fossil fuel extraction will not lower bills or improve energy security, and says claims about protecting jobs are inaccurate. It highlights that 93% of recoverable oil and gas has already been extracted and that remaining resources would be sold internationally. The MPs warn expanding fossil fuels harms workers, billpayers and future generations, and call instead for investment in renewable energy, warmer homes, future-proof jobs, and making polluters pay. Signed by Carla Denyer, Ellie Chowns, Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer and Adrian Ramsay.
Our MPs have written to Ed Miliband urging him not to backtrack on the ban on new oil and gas.
More drilling won’t lower bills or secure our energy future. It’s time to invest in renewables, future-proof jobs, and make polluters pay.
Palantir's ImmigrationOS endangers democracy and the rule of law, according to a new law review paper from Fordham Law School’s Chinmayi Sharma and Sam Adler. In this week’s podcast, they break down the risks of AI-powered surveillance in immigration enforcement.
But why does he sit at that tiny little kindergarten desk?? 🤷♂️

In a nutshell. 😊
Screenshot of a tweet: God Save Great Britain & @GSGB01 WOW: The NHS has ordered staff not to use the phrase 'It's raining cats & dogs' in fear of upsetting people from other cultures and religion. Britain has gone absolutely
Screenshot of a tweet: @Jenny_1884 The NHS has ordered staff not to use the term "It's raining cats & dogs" as it may offend foreigners. Tough If you don't like it jog on is what I think The NHS needs to get back to concentrating on making people better & not being more concerned about offending
For the love of God, could the "common sense" brigade PLEASE develop some actual COMMON SENSE?!
No, the NHS has not ordered staff not to use the term "it's raining cats and dogs" for fear of either upsetting or offending anyone...
Please engage your brains for a minute🙏

NHS claims 'it's raining cats and dogs'is culturally insensitive Doctors and nurses in Lancashire told some idioms risk offending 'international colleagues or patients' Doctors and nurses have been ordered not to say "it's raining cats and dogs" and "the early bird catches the worm" to avoid offending foreign patients. Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust instructed staff against using the phrases in its diversity and inclusion training, claiming that the terms were not culturally sensitive. It warned that the terms "may not translate well across other cultures" and may need to be explained to international colleagues or patients.
No, the NHS didn’t do anything of the sort.
The evidence the NHS didn’t do that is the third paragraph in the hit piece.
Any decent paper would have trashed the piece during the pitch phase, but the Telegraph runs dozens of these articles every single day. The Telegraph must be destroyed
Opinium matching our finding this week of Farage on his lowest approval this parliament. From qual the Trump effect is making that second 15% have doubts about if a Reform led Britain would be the same. If locals are v.good won’t matter short term, but points to long term Trump challenge for Reform
I trust the Green Party to represent the interests of the masses, I trust the other parties to offer us nothing but the status quo. #VoteGreen 🗳️
'What you get when you vote Green is councillors with two vested interests: to protect people in the community and to protect the planet and the environment.'

Well hopefully they’ll all cannibalise each other.
A good point very well made sir.
The cynic in me suspects sabotage by whoever this scumbag posting the actual antisemitic shit.
GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

Well done. Distinctly average height here, and it absolutely makes my day when someone asks me to get something from a high shelf for them. Actually feels like I have grown a bit in height from the sheer emotional boost. Must get a bit tedious when you’re actually tall.
I still maintain that all his horrendous personal qualities made him the perfect choice to cosy up to Trump. 🤷♂️
@zackpolanski.bsky.social
I suspect this is fabricated bollocks, but you’ll want to get on top of it.
For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.
Lots of people smiling at the camera with vote green signs
The campaign in East Sussex is in full swing with elections in 21 days time!
Wonderful to be with so many people who care about our environment, our democracy, our communities.
Time to end Rip Off Britain.

📌 ICYMI — Why Americans Need to Get Much Angrier About Donald Trump
Hope is not a strategy and my fellow Americans need to wake up to the far greater damage to the US this President could still cause, argues Alexandra Hall Hall
With the UK economy predicted to be hit hardest by Trump's war, remember who supported it.
