As the world looks on, the horrors inflicted on Ukrainians by the advancing Russians only get worse.

Starting May 6th, hospitals in Russian occupied Luhansk will take newborn babies from parents unless proven that at least one parent is Russian.

The billionaire-owned Telegraph joins the billionaire-owned GB 'News' in promoting the billionaire-funded Reform UK, which won just TWO seats in the #LocalElections2024 , & is led by FOUR privately educated multimillionaires.

Spot the pattern.

David Cameron met Rishi Sunak's father-in-law in 2010, and then at the next available Election in 2014, Rishi Sunak was parachuted into a safe seat from out of nowhere.

We literally have a PM bought by a Conservative donor.

Being as charitable as possible: I think BBC has questions to ask itself over representation and balance in politics programming. Over-representation of (very) underperforming minor parties, recycling of (very)unreliable rumours. Do they equitably represent the nation they serve?

Oh. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Best thing about this: the last time London looked anything like that, the 2011 riots, David Cameron was PM and Boris Johnson was mayor. Both, may I remind you, refused to come back from their holibobs for two and three days respectively while London burned.

PS who is that man?

6 - If MAGA/GOP is not a personality cult, then what is it? It's a full-on apparatus. It's ENABLERS, like performative elected officials enjoying their fame and grift, peddling disinformation for power. It's AMPLIFIERS, like Fox News, talk radio, right-wing podcasts, and social…

'It's clear tonight' is a very bad analysis for such a senior journalist. It was only 'clear' to anyone taken in by right wing bots and GB News/Guido Fawkes partisan pundits

No BBC journalist should ever boost that stuff

Post Office lawyers had secret meeting with a judge to prevent disclosure to defence

Judge agreed that the defence should not be made aware of a report on flaws in Horizon.

We need to think seriously about what this tells us about our justice system?

When, like me, you've been an unquestioning Unionist for most of your life and then started to have severe doubts in the post-Brexit years, you begin to see things you didn't see before. It's hard to overstate the (negative) subliminal effect of this imagery. THREAD

It is time for the BBC to change its stance on promoting Reform and Richard Tice at the expense of Liberal Democrats. Reform won virtually 0 seats, whilst Lib Dems won more seats than the Conservatives. Time we saw less of Reform on the news and Question Time etc. #LocalElection2024

On top of those early positive results in London, Labour just won Liverpool and South Yorkshire mayoralties. Both with a significantly higher number of votes than last time.

I assume this result means we will now see a representative of the Green Party on every single interview and show that the BBC do while Nigel Farage and Richard Tice will be dumped in the bin forever.

Did Russia interfere with 2016 US election? Well, yes.

Here is what we learned by 2024, a thread:

Elon Musk is now parroting the Kremlin's current propaganda line, which is intended to convince Westerners that support for Ukraine is futile.

Musk is the prime orchestrator of Russia's propaganda effort in the West. He constantly boosts pro-Russian accounts on Twitter with…
