"This is an important thing to think about."

You and me both sister!

Amazing! I can only go as far as my grandparents and then only on my mother’s side, back to the early 1900s! So interesting, I don’t understand those whom think history is uninteresting. It’s what brought us here!

Perfect!

Sod that for a game of soldiers.

Sorry. Maybe I’m just tired…
But I don’t think there’s anything funny about any of it. Our politics has become a total minefield… so much damage done by some really nasty and incapable people… the very worst of whom - Farage’s lot - stand to gain from the mess. And Labour will fail to learn. Again.

Honestly, I do not know the truth. What I do know is that no matter what the truth is, our press is going after Starmer.

Not in this house!

And you will be very, very welcome!

AI-generated videos of upturned dinghies in the English Channel circulate online – Full Fact Six people are known to have died so far in April attempting to cross the English Channel. But viral videos claiming to show overturned dinghies are not real and were made with AI.

Viral videos of overturned dinghies in the Channel have been shared with claims that over 100 people have died.

It’s true that six people have died attempting to cross the English Channel this month, but these videos are fake and were made using AI.

Abolish the licence fee (it upsets me so much to say this). I would happily pay a licence fee for BBC Radio only.

I just can't watch BBCNews anymore. I can't listen to BBC News anymore. Interesting that (as far as I have tried to find, BBC News is not on Bluesky but is on X - says it all really).

I certainly have. I sit outside to watch them flying around our house. I have tried to photograph them but they are too blooming fast!

Hey @pippacrerar.bsky.social
Hey @theguardian.com

Going to correct the ‘misspeaks’?

Guess not.

It’s very hard not to give up…
The media outlets that we should be able to trust to hold power to account are in the pockets of power. They undermine our democracy every day.
I despair, I really do.

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.

Wonderful, love it!

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

On your LEFT - the Guardian joins in the anti Labour media pile-on on Starmer

On your RIGHT - a mock up of what might/should be front page news in an unbiased media world.

The Bullingdon Boy Rules.

We know our place.

Tax Dodge Tice: "If anybody from any other party had been in that situation and tried to dodge paying tax.. if she (Angela Rayner) had any integrity, and moral decency, given her position... she would offer her resignation." #UKPolitics

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic

is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

a useful reminder how the far-right presents itself as moral arbiters without having any reason to do so & are so rarely questioned as to why they claim that ground

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the
- £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends
- the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance

These videos are brilliant. Huge kudos to the people who make them.
