Experts condemn 'appalling' BBC story that 'raises risk of far-right attacks' THE BBC has come under heavy fire after publishing a “misleading” report on asylum seekers which experts allege will put vulnerable people “at…

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.

Richard Tice facing calls to be sacked over firm's £91,000 unpaid tax bill 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.

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:

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.

‘Deeply distressing for all of us’: families react to Girlguiding’s trans exclusion From September, trans girls, and young trans women who volunteer, will have to hand in their UK memberships

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.

Four ambulances set on fire in London in suspected antisemitic hate crime Police said they were looking for three suspects after the London Fire Brigade were called to Golders Green at around 01:40 GMT.

Sheesh.

Whoever did this is the lowest of the low…

Most people won’t know about Hatzolah but it’s the most incredible volunteer run ambulance organisation which takes pressure off 999 by coming to local cases, often more quickly than the NHS can.

Is anyone else as irritated by the americanisation of spellings in communications? If you spell organise with a z it's a clear clue that AI has been used and you're even too lazy to check spellings.

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.
