Man in red sweater on #bbcqt pulling Farage apart
Farage and his little gang pull the classic playbook of the 1930s...let's hate on XXXXX....let's spin lies...let's blame a tiny minority for all our woes
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership."
Brilliant audience contribution 👏

Thank you to our friends at @look4w2 for sending more flyers for our cancer care packs. We try to always include a bundle of flyers in our packs to signpost patients to other helpful services in the area 💕

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced#VoteKamala
Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
Why did @Keir_Starmer point to red tape stopping the development of roads, train lines, warehouses and data centres, BUT make zero mention of the piles of Brexit paperwork facing those doing business with the EU.
✅ As the UK’s post-Brexit reset with the bloc continues, the PM could secure an easy win by chasing alignment with the EU in areas like food and environmental standards and carbon taxes.
👏 @pimlicat said: “Cutting red tape must include the mountain that Brexit has created for almost every part of the UK economy but particularly SMEs, touring performers and export/import businesses.”

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
