www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Pathetic gofer, Chis Mason, dribbles nonsense in the cause of the far right and cites Johnson, Frost & Farage as he tries to defend Brexit. Tragic.
Why the Prime Minister wants to talk about Brexit again
For the first time since the UK left the EU, we have a prime minister who will "unflinchingly" debate Brexit, says the BBC's political editor Chris Mason.

I keep reading that 'nobody should be forced to pay for the BBC'. Meanwhile, I'm forced to pay for the royal family, nuclear weapons, religiously-affiliated schools and the House of Lords.
I hope you share and this makes people seriously think about our society!

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 5d agoNew working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.
For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.
Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.
There’s only one political party that massively increased its share of the vote on Thursday. Have a look at the graph. It’s the Green line. The line that goes up. The Green Party had an unprecedentedly excellent day. Whatever shit the media spouts.
Don't forget Farage nostalgia for the Thatcher era when every policy was designed to make rich people millionaires and leave poor people in low wage slums meme via James Branch
If this truly spectacular increase in votes by Polanski & Green Party had been achieved by Tommy Bigot & Reform, the mainstream media would have had Tommy Bigot on the front page for a month. BBC crank Chris Mason would have spontaneously combusted, shot himself into space & beaten Musk to Mars!

Neoliberalism is failing, but what is it? This is a new version of our infographic on neoliberalism. AI drew the image. I wrote the text.
For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
I live by the sea. I once watched a gull lift a whole steak from the plate of a guy eating his dinner in a seaside cafe. We watched one bring a whole live snake back to its nest this summer! They are incredible survivors and brilliant parents
Racists continually insist that black and brown people can never be English. Then they accuse them of 'refusing to integrate'. I mean, make your bloody mind up.
For Chris Mason, the misstep by Burnham about Man City and his subsequent correction is THE biggest political story today. It's a minor embarrassment, Chris, not friggin' Watergate.
You can see the genocide from space. Yet still it is widely denied.

That moment has been brought to life in a very beautiful and heartwarming video. This video has garnered more than one billion views on social media, (production by Iranian Press Television) ♥️♥️🇵🇸
