Why is the (Labour?) Government allowing Cameron's wanton destruction of the BBC to continue toward its inevitable conclusion? Where the hell is Nandy? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC to cut raft of Radio 4 programmes including You and Yours
The corporation said it would be investing in a new consumer programme, while announcing more cuts.

Which surely is treasonous, and the armed forces swear allegiance to the King, and he seems to be saying something else?

It has taken less than two months for him to morph into Starmer 2.0 or Sunak 3.0. Shame on him.

Given that firms couldn't absorb recent NI costs, I can see them really being happy with this one.

And yet governments and regulators continue to let this happen.

Or we could tax extreme wealth and Internet sales, so that the richest tax avoiders can be as patriotic as the rest of the country.

He wants “private security” that will not record his movements and meetings, and can act as a rent-a-thug as needed.

Since Brexit, every Prime Minister has failed, and will continue to fail because of Brexit. It appears Burnham is determined to also fail already. In doing so, he is gifting us Reform. Who will also fail because Brexit will always be a catastrophe. Why can't politicians see this?

As Wes Streeting warms up to try to become Leader of the Labour Party/Prime Minister, I hope Labour MPs remember he is currently selling the NHS data to Palantir which has links to his mentor Peter Mandelson. You can already see how his Premiership is going to collapse after 12-18 months, can't you?

No fan of Starmer. But do Labour MPs really think that they can overthrow him and the massed hordes of political journalists will quietly accept this, or will they throw their weight behind the fabricated need for a general election now to get Nige in? I can hear Kuenssberg already.....

Because she is still chasing Reform-voting ex-Labour voters. She'll throw the next election trying to catch people who aren't coming back.

Really? This is the ground you will fight for?

Farage said the UK should support the USA, so desperate to chase Reform votes Starmer supports the USA. They wouldn't need defence if they hadn't attacked Iran mid-negotiation. Labour continues to chase their voters away.

And that is the funniest thing the richest man in the world can come up with? Really? FFS. He could end world poverty in a blink, and instead, he is doing this?

Shambles.

Starmer is banking on us all returning at the election because they are less bad than the Tories or Reform. I am drifting toward Greens or Liberals, and will NEVER vote for a cartoon version of Reform, despite having been a life-long Labour supporter adn former party member.

7 out of every 8 prison inmates were born in the UK. What is wrong with our parenting/education system?

Unfortunately, with traditional and social media both backing them, the Far Right will win the next election.

From 2025 we can clearly see that the problem with capitalism is that eventually the capitalists will have to sucked up everyone else’s capital.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 24/07/2025
And all the while we turn a blind eye they suck money from the circular flow, maintaining and growing their wealth to the detriment of wider society. No. Tax avoidance and evasion should be corrected to the benefit of the greater good.

They need to pay someone to actually do the homework, don't they?

I did not vote Labour to get Reform Lite.

Mason, Robinson, and Kuenssberg are living embodiments of bad journalism and bias. None should be employed by a state-owned broadcaster.

Why can Starmer not see that this is obvious? Just like Brexit can never work. Just like Trump is an unreliable partner, he has a humongous majority and has failed to capitalise on it. And worse...he seems to be gifting the premiership to Farage and Reform.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 09/06/2025
This is like Labour trying to appease Reform Voters. Neither the BBC or Labour can ever do enough to win-over Reform voters, but both will chase away their core in the attempt.

Scotland votes for the Scottish Parliament. The UK votes for the UK parliament. Maybe SNP MPs should not take their seats in Westminster then? Sinn Fein take this approach do they not? Plus should not all citizens have a say in breaking up the UK?

I agree with the concern over Labour. I have cancelled my party membership. But we also need to realise - as does Starmer- we are edging toward a Farage government. Labour need to sort this is out ASAP. By being bold and progressive. NOW.

Which is the own goal - reversing it in the public interest could have been a win that they desperately need.

They are gifting the next election to Farage by playing his game. It is Brexit and Trump all over again.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 12/05/2025
I have cancelled my membership payments. If I wanted to support Reform I’d have joined them, not Labour.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 04/05/2025
I suppose it depends where you are, but given how many voters see Reform as saviours then I fear you are a minority. I still struggle to get to see a doctor, rent here is still rising, nothing has been done to tax the mega rich fairly, & breakfast clubs barely scratch the surface in education needs

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 04/05/2025
But the rich still get richer and the poorest 75% of the population do not feel better off.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 04/05/2025
And none of them would be helped by Reform.

Peter Rowley @peterrowley.bsky.social · 03/05/2025
I have already said this elsewhere: The way forward for Labour is simple.1) Tax the mega-rich;2) Spend the money on projects that benefit the poorest in society;3) Rejoin the EU;4) Ban MPs second jobs; 5) Ban foreign money in politics;6) Make Social Media platforms responsible for lies posted there

Because Trump wants to asset strip the West of Ukraine and gift the East to Putin.

Amol Rajan, with his Russian connections, should not be allowed anywhere near the BBC.
