The pretence that you are holding these awful people to account while continually platforming them & their hateful divisive politics makes the BBC slightly more vomit inducing than Reform . That’s quite an accomplishment.

After criticising Reform UK for ignoring the wishes of Henry Nowak's family and politicising the death of Henry Nowak
#BBCLauraK gives Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf a solid 8 minutes to argue against Henry Nowak's family's wishes
Then a further 2.5 minutes to criticise the police and the Sikh tradition of carrying ceremonial knives, stoking even further division in society

This has already been debunked Katherine - suggest deleting as I'm sure you wouldn't deliberately mislead your followers

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst!
As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s."
The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄

If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..
They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.
There's your two tiers alright.
And it is the media.

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

BBC: We're discussing Henry Novak's tragic case so let's have far right grifter Matt Goodwin on to stoke division and call out 'racism to white people.' Well done BBC. You've promoted the rise of the far right and now you're determined to enable a Reform govt. #PoliticsLive

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.

🚨 Ten years after the referendum and the verdict is in:
@dsmitheconomics in The Sunday Times lays out the lost growth advantage.
UK real per capita GDP growth 2016–2025: just 5.4%
Italy: 11.6%
Spain: 11.1%
Eurozone: 10.2%
France: 8.4%
Britain needs to face reality and undo Brexit.
May 30
🚨 Brexit has damaged UK investment, growth, trade and productivity.
The UK used to comfortably outperform France, Germany and Italy. That advantage has gone.
GDP per head has lagged behind major EU peers since 2016. The post-Brexit immigration surge has masked some of the weakness in underlying performance.
Public opinion has shifted dramatically. A majority now believe Brexit was a mistake, with polls suggesting a rejoin referendum could pass by a big margin.
The current “reset” under Starmer is delivering very little, just 0.3% of GDP over 15 years according to some estimates.

Cat check: The Conservatives were in government for 14 years between 2010 and 2024. They did not do this.

In 2011 Keir Starmer approved the robust investigation into Murdoch and phone hacking, and into newspapers beyond the Murdoch stable.
In 2024 they started to take their revenge and will continue. A challenge to the heart of democracy.

Massive back peddling from Nigel Farage after his bluff was called by Labour Party chair Anna Turley who gave him 24 hours to report Russian hacking claim in ‘public and national interest’.
Now he says he,
"Wants to move on from the issue and no longer discuss it".

Mick Lynch on Nigel Farage:
"He's going to unleash a torrent of racism & division.. putting us into the dark ages"
ML calls out the Telegraph:
"The Telegraph seems to be preparing itself to become a fully signed up affiliate of Reform & all the racism & disunity it will cause"

Jenrick’s wife Michal Berkner lawyer for the donor, was warned the £40k actually came from a US fraudster. Where's the noise?

Let me pose a question which puts these net-migration numbers today into proper context: How do you think right wing editors would react if this all came out if Farage was PM? Many would suggest he would be lauded! Falling small boat numbers, falling macro numbers, trebled all round....

Hi @RobertJenrick when you were the Minister of State for Immigration 532,000 emigrated from the UK. How many Watfords was that?

246,000 Brits left last year.
Net, 136,000 went. A city the size of Watford.
Many are entrepreneurs, investors, small businesspeople.
It’s the Starmer Exodus.
