So Jenrick’s claim about Handsworth was totally false as he was actually in Aston and you can see many white faces in the background of his report on GB news. How naive of Badenoch to actually support him without checking.

Military families living in mouldy, damp and crumbling homes will soon be guaranteed decent housing standards under new laws.

The Liberal Democrats welcomed the Government’s plan for Decent Homes Standard to cover Ministry of Defence (MoD) accommodation for the first time.

Better with Labour 👍

From Private Eye

APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over £300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead?

Was Brexit all for nothing?

I notice all those brave journalists, Guido alumni, and Tory hacks, who manufactured a scandal - a dangerous one to national security, at that - out of gossip, supposition, and sticky tape, have gone ALL QUIET now the witness statements have been released and are exactly as the PM detailed at PMQs.

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

Six more weeks of budget speculation being used to bash Reeves, Starmer and Labour.

Surely no one in their right mind thinks our economy is booming and we don’t need to address this? Do they?

I’m just glad we are in sensible hands. We all need to muck in. Rebuild Britain.

Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except:
-he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant
-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
-they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.

GB news is a UK version of ‘Radio Rwanda’ which was deliberately used to stir ethnic violence .

Our democracy will not survive unless private media outlets are regulated for honesty and ethical balance.

Net migration almost halved last year - but 84% of frequent GB 'News' viewers think it increased.

Whether it's called news or current affairs, it needs to be rooted in factual information, otherwise it's not just worthless but also damaging.

GB News viewers more likely to wrongly believe net migration to UK rising, study finds

Research also finds majority of people are against letting politicians front current affairs programmes

Nigel Farage falls through the cracks of media scrutiny. He receives the attention of someone powerful, but the scrutiny of someone powerless. It’s a case study in how fear of democratic decline makes institutions submissive which accelerates democratic decline.
