The BBC hate us so much that they only had me on Question Time 38 times and have had Zia Yusuf on 8 times in less than two years, despite the fact that nobody even voted for him. Now that's what I call bias.

This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?
On top of operating costs private healthcare companies pay huge salaries to CEOs & directors siphoning off massive profits to shareholders But Farage & Lowe want us believe having £billions less money to play with enables private healthcare providers to give a better more caring service Idiocy!
"The weather you are experiencing right now is the least extreme it will ever be in your lifetime." - @zackpolanski.bsky.social And every serious scientist in the whole wide world. Those telling you fossil fuels are not to blame for climate change are taking or making money from fossil fuels.
The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 16h agoThis is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.
“I can call [the climate crisis] out as a political leader, but you [the media] also has a role to play... the contrast between how much we hear about whatever Nigel Farage or Reform want to talk about versus how little we hear about the climate and nature crisis is pretty glaring.” Quite.

It’s insane. It’s the perfect distillation of how Brexit has epically fucked the Tory party. 10 years on and they’ve binned off every sane and thoughtful member and replaced them with simpletons, liars and lunatics. All to keep the Brexit/far right myths alive.
Let's all support the brave protesters in Georgia who are fighting the pro-Russian government in Tblisi 24/7 and want to join the #EU because they are Europeans and detest Putin and his oligarchs! You can find them by following the hashtag #GeorgiaProtests. Picture: @rusudandjakeli.bsky.social

As an aside, if any other professionals were as incompetent as certain journalists, they'd be sacked and disbarred. But in the rightwing press, gross incompetence appears to be a qualification. After all, without its bullshitters for hire, how else would capital deny, deflect and distract?
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Nigel Farage says Reform UK would use the Navy to stop people asking questions about their financial scandals.
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
"Dear Diary The launch of our scheme to use the Royal Navy to stop small boats has gone exactly to plan. It is so patently absurd that it is all anyone can talk about, providing the perfect distraction from all our dodgy financial dealings"

And 25% of voters would put these ridiculous moneyed fools in charge of the govt and treasury, would they? How many investigations into Reform’s dodgy finances are there now? I’ve lost count. And no, it’s not an ‘establishment’ plot. It’s just what happens when corruption/incompetence meets scrutiny
