LBC news broadcasting Trump’s fantasy account of the Flydubai attack that bears almost no relation to what happened without comment - what purpose does that serve?

Tories spouting the same classist lies they did 50 years ago. The poor should have all possible relief and remaining dignity ripped away. Welfare fraud is tiny compared to tax evasion from the rich. Target the real parasites and exploiters, not those in need. #lbcnews

My personal opinion: it’s not because *Israel* has ‘captured’ the U.K. government that Palestine Action is proscribed whilst the thugs in Dover haven’t even triggered a single arrest. It’s because the right wing has captured the U.K. government. (I won’t be answering questions on this)

Another impossible ridiculous racist policy idea from Reform in a pathetic Trump-wannabe diversion from their corruption and money laundering disgrace. So why is that getting wall to wall coverage? It’s almost as if the media also had some heinous act to cover up.

This is often overlooked by many. People forget that universities do not work in isolation - the ridiculous Ivory Tower idea. We are part of the community. Uni staff live in the communities around them, we send out kids to local schools, we shop locally, we are your friends and neighbours.

The fact that Trump felt that he could intervene over the suspension the way he did delegitimises the entire tournament. The decision to suspend the suspension contrary to the rules? Corruption on a scale unseen before. Trump as the ultimate arbiter. And don’t forget, Trump will receive the trophy.

A reminder - the Online Safety Act *does* exist. It’s a terrible law (IMHO) but it does exist, and it could be used to regulate X. We don’t need new laws to do that.

Justin Webb's track record of using #r4today to promulgate his personal, hard & far right political opinions is now extensive, but ignored by his employer. Apparently, the BBC only cares about these things if presenters express support for progressive politics, then they're hounded out of their job

dear @lbcnews.bsky.social organised race riots aren’t protests. Protesters don’t try to murder families in their homes because of the colour of their skin. There is absolutely no legitimacy to these racist thugs.

The vice president of the US is directly trying to incite race riots in the UK. US sanctions? Travel bans? Diplomatic withdrawal? Unequivocal strong action needs to be taken in response.

In Doppelganger, @naomiaklein.bsky.social shows how white supremacists assume the victimhood of those they oppress, presenting the evils they do as evils done to them. In Britain, where black people are 7 times more likely than white people to die after police restraint, this is what we are seeing.
