The Hack is an excellent itv drama about phone hacking and abuses engaged in by our so-called “free press” as there was about the PO scandal. But appalling though that case was, this affects every single one of us. I wonder why it isn’t getting similar media exposure? Oh, wait……

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

The curse of Thatcherism was not just greed. It was short-termism disguised as freedom. Privatisation made millionaires from share prices and dividends, while leaving millions in cold, costly poverty. A quarter of every bill now feeds profit, not service.

I assume all the 'hurty word' free speech warriors that were crying their eyes out over Lucy Connolly will be absolutely furious about the guy who has just been sent to prison for his social media posts about Nigel Farage.

Farage doesn’t hold back when it comes to inciting hate speech or riots, but he sure is a bit of a snowflake if someone says boo to him.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

“There is no such thing as society”. Or at least there won’t be, when I and my mates have finished with it.

Gove’s grubby little fingers were all over Brexit & Covid criminality yet he was elevated to the House of Lords rather than prison. He made a mess of Education, too.

Tories: eternally failing upwards.

Chris Grey @chrisgrey.bsky.social · 2d

This deserves more attention than it has received.

Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working".

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers

Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

“I’ve got to go to the news” whenever he hears something he doesn’t understand. Which is often.

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?
