BBC "News". Assorted hypocritical liars, talking heads, glove puppets and propaganda clerks pleading for "trust". Laughable far right corporate media garbage from people without a trace of decency, honour or integrity. A cabal of careerist cowards.

she doesn’t care

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Labour has not once, ever, tried to out-left the Greens. Even whilst they haemorrhaged support to them whilst losing very little to Farage whilst adopting his policies There is basically no such thing as a Reform voter who'd consider voting Labour. Yet Labour has dedicated *everything* to that myth

'Starmer must own this catastophe', says Labour MP
With the Greens looking like they are in the lead in Gorton and Denton, a Labour MP has told Sky News that Sir Keir Starmer "must own this catastrophe".

They said: "We can’t out right wing Reform whilst at the same time try out left winging the Greens. Labour should perhaps just be Labour. 

"Truth is McSweeney forced Starmer into the room with the NEC to block the most popular Labour politician in England in Andy Burnham. That showed weakness not strength. 

"Keir has got away, for too long, with saying he hadn’t been involved when decisions taken have gone wrong. This time he, Keir, must own this catastrophe. 

"The Greens with a foothold in Manchester is nothing less than a disaster for the Party. We can fight Reform on policy but we cannot appear more progressive than the Greens. Not under this leadership."

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Today we are now seeing precisely why Trump has been relentlessly fighting against the release of the Epstein files. Trump and Epstein were not only close friends for 15 or so years but were also pretty much the same in every way. It’ll be hard for Trump’s base to explain this away.
