When I turned on #Radio4 this lunchtime I was under the impression that I was listening to #AnyQuestions. How wrong I was. What came on MUST have been #TheRichardTiceProgramme. Nothing but interuptions from the @reformuk.bsky.social gobshite. Why does #TheBBC keep giving airtime to that Muppett?

Turned onto #PoliticsLive. Thought I'd turned on "The Laila Cunningham programme" It really looks like the producers of this programme have Cunningham on speed dial. @reformuk.bsky.social only have eight MP's, most of them Tory defectors, and they get more air time on the BBC than the LibDems. WHY?

#BBC Director General, Matt Brittin came from #google, the owner of #youtube and this concerns me grately. YouTube is Utter Crap! Ads coming as often as every 30seconds resulting in more ads than content. And content that is often clearly AI generated but not labelled as such. BBC seems doomed!

I enjoyed #AndyBurnham's speech to the @uklabour.bsky.social but then a load of their MP's spoiled the moment by rushing to appear on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social. When will these people learn that (K)GB "News" only want to trash Labour, the party and it's MP's. They began as soon as Burnham sat down.

While I'm hoping that the #PremierLeague hammer #ManCity for their industrial scale rule breaking, I have to say I have sympathy for those real fans who supported them through those years when they were languishing in the Divisions 2 & 3. The club have to be punished, yes, but don't forget the fans.

#BBCNews reporting @mancity.com have been found guilty of "all but one of the charges" relating to breaches of financial regulations. Also reporting that #premierleague have notified other PL clubs affected by this decision.

Who in the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social production team chose to book the ultimate client Journalist #HarryCole. I doubt old Harry has ever had an original thought in his life. Instead he just waits for #ToryCentralOffice to tell him what to think and say. Need to do better with the guests Newsnight.

Good report on tonight's @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social from Piddington. The likes of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social have covered events there but always shied away from any mention of far right infiltration of this village and wasn't it good to see one villager who at least appeared sane and sensible.

Watching "The Fracking Ban Debate" on BBC Parliament. As expected @reformuk.bsky.social Deputy Leader Richard Tice rose to speak in support of continuing with Fracking. Fair play to @greenparty.org.uk MP Dr Ellie Chowns for showing up his dodgy statistics for what they are - utter ballderdash!

Will the Editor or Producer of @skynewsrss.bsky.social Sunday morning political programme PLEASE tell presenter Rachel Johnson to shut up long enough for Angela Rayner to answer a question. Roll on 9am and #Kuennesberg. Didn't think I'd ever say that!

Listening to The Leader of @conservatives.bsky.social Kemi Badenoch interviewed on the #radio4 #today programme. I didn't care for her much before but now I've come to think that she is just a mean, nasty and mouthy individual. I'm no Tory but if I was, she wouldn't get my vote. Never!

Liverpool 2 Athletico Madrid. 1 Entertaining game. Great result for Liverpool against a good Athletico side. Now we've just got to make sure that we don't come unstuck against Fulham on Saturday. But right now I'm in a really good humour and will be for the next few days.

I wanted to see how #Farage would spin #Reform's latest woes so turned on #BBNews for the speech. Who was on the #DailyPolitics panel? @dawnneesom.bsky.social yet another @gbnewsonline.bsky.social presenter hired for the day by The BBC. If I wanted GBeebies presenters I would have turned that on.

#SuellaBraverman displaying how thick she is. Speaking on #BBCNews, trying to defend @reformuk.bsky.social against the allegations of financial dodgy dealings, she claimed #Channel4 was a publicly funded channel. The last time I checked, Channel4 does not receive even 1 penny of public money. DUNCE!

@reformuk.bsky.social Deputy Leader, @richardtice.bsky.social on #BBCR4 Today programme and sounding even more obnoxious than usual. Almost impossible to listen to him, but I'm enjoying hearing #NickRobinson give Tice a rough time.

tonyd2024 @tonyd2024.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Respect to @channel4news.bsky.social . Tonight their top story is about @reformuk.bsky.social being stung by a team of undercover investigative Journalists into accepting what would have been an illegal payment to Reform. Slippery Farage and his sidekicks won't get out of this one.

GB "News" have secured another "exclusive" interview with Donald Trump. Like their previous, infamous interview, Beverley Turner was asking the (very soft) questions. If it is as fawning an interview as last time maybe Turner was kneeling in front of the pervert while asking the fawning questions.

Good hear that our new #PM @andyburnham.bsky.social has just said in parliament that there must be a way found to save @jodrellbank.bsky.social. He went on "no way can we see it's demise". NICE ONE ANDY LAD!

#goroman Many years ago, an acquaintance of mine was fortunate to have been in Florida at the time of a Space Shuttle launch. He described the event as, in his words, "the greatest experience of his life". His wife and kids weren't too chuffed but I can understand his excitement.

Trump can decree that Lake Ontario be known in future as "Lake America" but I'm reasonably certain that The International Hydrographic Organisation will just laugh at him, everybody will just laugh at him and at America. The Dementia is getting visibly worse. By 2029 he won't know what America is.

1/3 9pm and just did a quick scan of the news channels to see what's being reported. @gbnewsonline.bsky.social going overboard on the arrival into the UK of "Harry & Meghan". The presenter, White Supremacist, #PatrickChrisy's and two of his panel wasted no time in ripping into the couple.

1/3 I'm 63 years of age. I worked continuously for 33 years from 16 until age 50 when I gave up work to care for my late mother who had cancer and dementia. I was told that as a Carer I was saving The NHS over £1k per week.

1 off 3 @lisanandymp.bsky.social As a 63 year old who follows news and current affairs in general and politics in particular, I have relied on #BBCNews for at least 45 years. But no longer. The standards at BBC News have declined so much that even @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social is beyond redemption.

1/2 The death of #JasonArday is a tragedy in the truest meaning of the word. But 'newspapers' like The Mail, Telegraph and others should be asking themselves why they haven't given any coverage to the revelations of far right infiltration at Cambridge along with many safeguarding issues.

tonyd2024 @tonyd2024.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
The standard of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social reporting was on show again this morning. At the Clacton by-election count their Political Reporter, refering to alleged threats directed towards #Farage, kept refering to Sussex Police. Just a reminder to GBeebies Editors, Clacton is in Essex, NOT SUSSEX.

tonyd2024 @tonyd2024.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
It's by-election day in #Clacton-on-Sea. I hate to say this, but #NigelFarage will win it. With the exception's of #CountBinface and #HowlingLordHope he isn't really facing any serious competition. If Farage wins without getting a least 60% of the vote it will prove to be a pyrrhic victory.

PM Andy Burnham has been in office for only 22 days. Already @gbnewsonline.bsky.social are running stories headlined "Burnhams Disasterous Start As PM". What the f#ck are #melaniedawes and @ofcom.bsky.social doing? This isn't news, it's an attempt to undermine the elected Government of this country.

tonyd2024 @tonyd2024.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
So The PM @andyburnham.bsky.social has apparently given an "exclusive" interview to @gbnewsonline.bsky.social. When will @uklabour.bsky.social politicians realise that GBeebies is nothing but a propaganda vehicle for #Farage and @reformuk.bsky.social. They'll dump on you from a height every time.

1 / 2 58 years I've been a LFC fan. Two Yanks who knew nothing about football bought LFC and took it to the brink of administration. FSG have admittedly done a good job of running the club but I still don't trust American speculator's. If Bezos gets his hands on even part of LFC, that'll be me done.

So #JDVance is trying to convince his fellow American's that he believes in God. I would say to my colonial cousins over there, remember that "Religion is the last refuge of the Scoundrel" Words written by Dr Samuel Johnson, London, 18th Century. It was true way back then and it is still true today.

#Trump needs to be told, in terms even he can understand, that if ANY US Corporation attempts to drill for oil in Greenland, without permission, that Corporation's personnel and materiel's will be removed, with force if necessary. The USA is now a rogue state and should be treated as such.

1 Of 3 A bad week for #CambridgeUniversity. Tonight @channel4news.bsky.social lead on the story of Prof #JasonArday and asked if racism had played a part in his resignation. Add to this the revelations in @bylinetimes.bsky.social of far right infiltration and student safeguarding at The University.

America has #ICE, it's own version of 'The Gestapo'. It has #DonaldTrump who control's The Dept of Justice and will willingly attempt to convict an innocent man in order to save embarrassment to him. The US Courts are supine to Trump the Governing party. And America dares to lecture us in The UK!

Couldn't believe my ears this morning. Leader of #ReformBritain (Fascist) MP #RupertLowe interviwed on the #Radio4Today programme. Lowe is a nasty, white supremacist who see's himself as #ElonMusks representative in The UK. He is dangerous and the voters of #GreatYarmouth need to remove him ASAP.

There seems to be a recurring theme here with @reformuk.bsky.social MP's not declaring payments received and paid for jollies to events in the UK and overseas. Today is #RichardTice's turn to squirm a bit. Is it too much to hope that we might see another by-election, this time in Boston & Skegness?

@gbnewsonline.bsky.social are crowing today about winning an obscure award. "Best News Programme" from "The National Reality TV" Awards. No I haven't heard of them either. Seems GBeebies can only win Micky Mouse awards like NRTV, TRIC etc, but the serious ones like BAFTA are out of their league.

On tonight's evening news there was a still photo of the White House Oval Office. The first time I've seen a wide angle picture of that room. You can tell Trump was responsible for the decoration. Gold leaf plastered all over the place. Personally I've been in more tastefully decorated brothels.

In his #BBC interview with #LauraKuennesberg @andyburnham.bsky.social has said that if necessary he will stand up to #DonaldTrump. Does that include calling out members of the administration and others close to the White House who push blatant far right lies about London, The UK & Europe? Does it?

Is @gbnewsonline.bsky.social becoming even more unhinged than they have been hitherto. Tonight on #PatrickChristys programme the panel were discussing the transfer of Axel Rudakubana to Broadmore. Even though the majority of the panel admitted he was insane, they still wanted him killed. Savages!

It looks like what I predicted recently, is about to happen. #BBCNews reporting a consortium is looking to buy a minority steak in @liverpoolfc1.bsky.social. The consortium includes Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and probably other American "investors" although I prefer the term, speculator's. 1 / 3

@gbnewsonline.bsky.social Farage protegee and openly racist front man #PatrickChristys opened his programme tonight by launching an attack on the BBC. Dragging up miscreants like Saville, Mills, Edwards etc. All just to continue with their attack on the BBC which is 100x better than GBeebies 1/3

Delighted to read that the #UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin stayed well clear of the World Cup final due to his federation's "discontent" with #FIFA. Reports go on to claim that relations between UEFA and FIFA are under "severe strain". Could the time right for a split. Let's hope so.

It's a sad day for football fans. Just heard the news that Kevin Keegan has died. He was just 75. I was a regular at Anfield when he joined Liverpool in 1971. Transfer fee of £33,000 and £50 per week in wages. Condolences to all his family. He brought much happiness to many over the years.

I was in my local pub tonight watching the World Cup Final. When Ferran Torres scored the winning goal for Spain there was an almighty cheer, so much so I doubt you would have heard bigger one in Madrid. If Argentina had somehow won tonight it would have been an outrage. WELL PLAYED SPAIN!
