Shockingly poor journalist. Basically just an overpromoted social diarist.

I remember a time when the BBC employed political editors capable of intelligent analysis, contextualisation, and keeping their own biases in check.

A perfect storm has ensured Britain has lost food security.

That Govt chose the hardest Brexit, replaced food subsidies with environmental scheme, agreed disastrous trade deals and allowed an unfair playing field means that Britain faces a food crisis.

The bad weather has…

It's high time that people publicly and repeatedly challenged the BBC over the completely disproportionate amount of airtime given to Reform compared to the Greens and Lib Dems. I sense the hand of Robbie Gibb here.

Miyazaki's reaction comes from a place of profound humanity, and it's a reaction to the moral ugliness he senses here, not just the horror of the image.

Three politicians from the Conservative party, which lost almost 500 councillors and multiple mayoral contests in these local elections, featured on the Laura Kuenssberg programme this morning.

None from the Greens or Lib Dems, who both made significant gains across the country.

This is very good indeed. Sobering and distressing.

This. Laura Kuenssberg, Tory courtier, not a journalist, must go.

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

The Green Party, who have so far won 159 seats in these elections, have had less media coverage than Reform UK, who have won 2.

The amount of batting Kuenssberg is doing for the Tories in this election coverage is genuinely incredible. On a catastrophic night for the gov’t she’s attacked only Labour. WHY AREN’T YOU WINNING MORE HARDER? It’s almost funny.

This story is hauntingly sad. And completely f*cking outrageous.

Leading Palestinian doctor Adnan Al-Bursh murdered in Israeli prison after 4 months in custody. God knows what he went through.

How is the UK still supporting and arming Israel?

It means a nation once proud to stand against the abuse of human rights has surrendered all of its principles for vain political reasons.

Recommended.

How would we read the story if it were about Russia? (And, to be clear, we'd be right to read it that way.)

Home Office Why are civil servants putting out propaganda for government on a day of elections? You have a code. You are breaking it. There should be no comment from a government department today at all. You are undermining the foundations of our democracy. Don’t you see that?

If you want to understand the state of UK broadcasting journalist Sangita Myska has been ‘ removed’ from LBC for doing her job & asking difficult questions . It’s disappointing that instead of showing solidarity with her fellow journalists have swiftly taken her place .

Detaining the most vulnerable people on camera for political ends, and the disgraceful legislation that underlies, it makes me truly ashamed of my country this morning - asylum seekers in handcuffs. The only cure is the ballot box and as soon as possible
