I really don't think people who campaigned loudly for Brexit should get a @bbcnews.bsky.social platform to attack our country on economic grounds, like Ratcliffe. Especially if they're a tax exile who's trousered millions from the public purse, who moans about immigrants when he is one, in Monaco.

It's shocking how badly @bbcnews.bsky.social is letting us down. They provide a megaphone for right-wing crackpots and look the other way when they show who and what they are. It's not negligence it's deliberate.

Rebel Football #1 What happens when a misogynist takes control of a women's football team? And when he hates the club's barrio so much he lets the stadium become unsafe? La Liga has no "fit and proper" person test, clearly.

Had the misfortune to catch Today on Radio 4 this morning. They really have drunk the Unkool-aid, haven't they? Far-right talking points rudely and insistently jemmied into otherwise neutral interviews as if was produced by Farage. The BBC do so many things well but its politics sucks balls.
