Whisper it! Nope, let's amplify it.

We should be learning from other countries...
BBCs coverage isn't just misleading, it is inflammatory. It has predictably been latched onto by the far right and others, including this government, to call for even more restrictions on those seeking asylum. Along with others, I explain here how wrong it is 👇

This BBC immigration and asylum story is a moral panic. Poorly evidenced, generalised panic about a marginalised social group. Next week, the government will respond with a new 'crackdown'. This will then further exacerbate public anxiety.
You know who wins from all of this, Nigel Farage.
Am I imagining it or has #BBCnews taken a huge leap to the right this week? Today anti immigrant and anti- renewables dominate but even the in depth feature lacks balance and detail. Whats going on? #BBCbias
@bbc hosting a party political broadcast on breakfast TV for Reform. Not good enough and certainly not what I pay my licence for. It is becoming embarrassing it is so blatant.
Seeing as Richard Tice held the moral high-ground on Angela Rayner's tax affairs, it's only fair he holds himself to the same standards.

VOTE REFORM UK TO FIX IT** Introducing your Reform UK candidates for Low Fell leaflet text: **ATKINSON, John** Reform UK John has lived in Low Fell for 30+ years. His background is in civil engineering, policing, teaching and transport. He wants to bring back a sense of community, listen to residents' concerns and focus on local issues such as crime, roads and streets, and better services. --- **HENDERSON, Iain** Reform UK Iain has lived and worked in Gateshead all his life. Now retired, he wants to give something back to the borough. With a positive outlook, Iain is looking forward to making a real difference to the lives of the residents of Low Fell and to working closely with them. --- **MURRAY, Arthur** Reform UK Arthur has owned several businesses for many years. He has lived locally for 50 years and employs local staff, servicing the northeast and Scotland. His priorities are to see the ward and area prospering once again, caring for the old and infirm and maintaining our parks and open spaces. ---

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:

Going to get some great images from NASA in the coming days. Here’s a couple of post-splashdown snaps of actual heroes.
BBC News item on lifting the child poverty cap and they have to both sides it. So, alongside a woman with five kids who desperately needs it they have two men who don't need it/aren't entitled saying they don't agree with it being lifted.
Why are they on my TV? They're not relevant.
There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm.

And yet they complain when minimum wage goes up.
The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal.
Do you want Palantir out of the NHS?

Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” & should be lifted, arguing that they should be legalised & licensed again.
He really doesn’t get it, that handguns in the wrong hands can cause loss & devastation.
All because he wants to be like Trump.
