Why is Fox News starting a war on Christmas?
12 Dec 2025
Fox tells Americans to buy artificial trees so Christmas tree farms can be used for data centers: "Everybody needs to get on board."

Many people are convinced, because of what they’ve seen online, that the know what motivated the accused killer of Charlie Kirk. The truth is we don’t have a motive and in some ways the picture is murkier than it was this morning…

BREAKING NEWS: French billionaire Jean-Louis Le Riche and German industrialist Hans-Dietrich Geldmann have agreed to donate 200m Euros to a new campaign to get 🇬🇧 back into the EU after the disaster of Brexit. Happy to announce I will be campaign director. I’m sure @Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard and Co will see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Common sense innit? #keepMuskMoneyOutOfOurCountry #TakeBackControl
Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK groups: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK: "If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

Another sign, following the Bovaer nonsense, that we’re in danger of following the US down the anti-science woowoo path - because health disinformation is an extremely profitable business bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gp…

Everything that is wrong with our politics in a tweet and a quote. All just a game
What a bland, soggy old sandwich! 😅 For some proper red meat, it’s got to be @Conservatives! 🥩

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

The papers are flooded with stories about the ‘tidal wave’ of viruses threatening to overwhelm the NHS this winter… …but is ANYONE going to report on the shocking evidence from the Covid Inquiry about the dire lack of AIRBORNE infection controls in hospitals (see 🧵 below)??!
COVID INQUIRY: X Megathread 🧵 As module 3 of the @covidinquiryuk draws to a close, I’ve been looking back at what we’ve learned about how it all went so wrong with infection control guidance for hospitals. This is a long thread, so please grab a cuppa & make yourself comfy…

Congratulations to Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt for managing to engineer a cynical pre-election growth boost with their unaffordable tax cuts, irresponsible ducked spending decisions and cowardly cancelled reforms, as seen clearly on this chart. What a mess you left behind

Here’s a curious tale involving Boris Johnson, the annual allowance for former Prime Ministers, and the man Kemi Badenoch chose to stand in for her at PMQs last month. Oh, and £67,803 of taxpayers’ money handed to Johnson that he wasn’t entitled to claim. (1/8)

The Telegraph backs Brexit which cuts the City off from Europe. And then and inevitably when the London markets shrivel away it doesn't blame the Brexiteers it blames the Labour party

Ridiculous. The start of the implosion of the London stock market can be traced with absolute precision to the day after the Brexit referendum. Deliberately misleading to suggest otherwise.

Important study on Covid deaths from France’s prestigious Institut Pasteur. Boris Johnson’s refusal to lock down quickly meant the UK ( Royaume-Uni for non French speakers ) had the highest death rate in Western Europe.

I have today written to the Prime Minister about the language used about civil servants in his speech yesterday. I urge Sir Keir Starmer to urgently reflect on the impact his words have had on the relationship between civil servants and ministers.

You made the point about illegal migrants.. The 40,000 asylum seekers this year are a minute proportion of the 1 million legal migrants" Nigel Farage, "I know" Man in red, "Consequently, if that's your biggest beef, 40,000 people coming into this country, your policies fall on the way side.. It's a spec in the ocean" Nigel Farage, "Let them all come in" Man in red, "Every asylum seeker I have spoken to is not coming here for a better life" Nigel Farage, "Oh yeah" Man in red, "The majority are coming here for a life" Nigel Farage, "No no I'm sorry you're wrong" Fiona Bruce shuts down the topic and moves on

By giving disproportionate air time to Farage on their current affairs shows . the BBC is choosing a far right agenda over the Green Party & Lib Dems more progressive politics. How can they defend that , they’re supposed to be a public broadcaster not an extension of his Coms
