Objective data show BBC & ITV bias. Reform featured in 49 bulletins between January-July 2025 whereas Lib Dems(with 72 MPs) were in 18% of bulletins, with 35. Reform referenced in nearly 1 in 5 ITV News At Ten bulletins, but 6% for Lib Dems www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder. Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.

“deranged left-wing personalities on BlueSky deliberately incite violence, and when it happens, they take the psychopath’s route of mocking and gaslighting the victims.” Which Slate debunks. But Bluesky seems to have got under the skin of the Right Wing nutjobs.

Was Bluesky Actually Celebrating the Death of Charlie Kirk?
Despite what right-wing influencers want you to believe, liberals actually hate political violence.

Charlie Kirk’s murder was utterly abhorrent and corrosive to our politics. So was much of the reaction to it- including from his allies. My piece. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
open.substack.com
No Boris Johnson, Charlie Kirk did not represent "common sense"
His murder was a tragedy. Yet it was politicised by his own side instantly. The reaction revealed much.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

It’s almost as if skyrocketing homelessness isn’t caused by addiction or mental illness, but by millions of people being rent-gouged out of a place to live.
