BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists
If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.
Yes, Israel is destroying Lebanon's breadbasket. This is why I have been saying that Israel's goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.
Angela Rayner's housing tax story has hounded her for months now.
Meanwhile, this? There's a good chance no one will mention it again after next week.
Because the "patriotic" far-right never have to reckon with their rampant corruption and tax-dodging.

AN ALCOHOLIC TV TALKING HEAD RUNS OUR MILITARY, A FORMER HEROIN ADDICT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH, AND THEY BOTH REPORT TO A CONVICTED FELON.
SO HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?
No longer a useful idiot
“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights”
Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand.
Hungary shows us we must never give them power.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Peter Magyar has offered a template which can be used, without too much alteration, in defeating populists worldwide

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT.
From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't.
A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:
Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.
Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.
The state of Trump's union. [@itep.org]
Liverpool need a manager like Donald Trump.
For him a 2-0 defeat
No shots on target
26% possession
Is Bigly Victorious.
Donald Trump says that he has been bigly victorious.
Iran says they have been bigly victorious.
Strait of Hormuz still blocked.
Israel biggest ever bombing of Lebanon.
Ceasefire broken.
Bigly victorious.
One decent immigrant front page in the Daily Mail is all it takes.
Just wait till May if you don't believe how little the great British public is bothered by World events.
A lovely peaceful early morning Easter Monday except for the idiot with the screeching machine tool at 7.45am.
Obviously he is the tool.
Not the machine.
Happy holiday everyone!
Wow. Career ending in any normal times. "A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/744e...
Reform & Farage for the working people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 reminds me of the series You’ve Been Had…
Using our technology you have sent more than 63,000 emails to NHS Hospitals telling them not to give your confidential medical data to Palantir.
Together we can change things for the better!
Oh sorry highland puma, that compliment was meant for your mate @goonerak.bsky.social
He deserves it more than you.
Cheerio.
You are a right self-righteous smug bastard aren't you.
That will do for starters.
As The Bible says:
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain".
I agree Ste.
"The Ev" exists only in the minds of the Red Shite.
And don't forget,
"All Kopites are Gobshites".
Klopp has got a huge ego and so he now debunks the myth that he preferred Brandt and didn't want Salah.
This below is from former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher.
One of them is lying.
I would say it is Klopp lying rather than Carragher getting it wrong.
It's a mystery!
