We don’t want billions to be taken from our NHS to be given to Big Pharma, all due to pressure from Donald Trump.

The public are clear: the Government must not cave to this pressure, they should keep our medicines affordable and put the NHS and patients before profit! @justtreatment.org

Why we & @justtreatment.org delivered a massive cheque and 250,000 signatures to the UK government…

. @barryglendenning.bsky.social and I had @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on @talksport.com to talk Gary Neville and flags and patriotism.

Pretty obvious the side of the debate we’re on but we wanted it to be heard and dispel some myths about immigration/asylum seekers

Yeah that’s about right. Last I saw was 97% but yeah, essentially everyone claims. You’d come a different way if you meant not to claim, cos this way you’re guaranteed to be intercepted by authorities - which is your aim as an asylum seeker.

Why bother talk to a huge audience of people who are stereotyped as universally bigoted despite representing an incredibly broad spectrum of society & are the major target for far right radicalisation?

You don’t understand what my job is at all 😅

I’ll be joining @talksport.com radio at 12.15 to talk about the Gary Neville video & the hysterical backlash to it that seems to be the norm now, when anyone involved in football dares to express a nuanced or humanitarian opinion.

Fellow football fans tune in 😊😊

I completely made up the bit about him being BBC there, didnt I? No idea where that idea came from. The rest still stands anyway. It's disgraceful from anyone.

Does the UK have a Culture Secretary, with responsibility for this stuff, who might take an interest in how media regulation works? If there is such a person, does anyone know what she/he does all day?

Utterly useless.

Jordan’s rant is pure race-baiting confused disinformation.

Truly shocking & shameful to hear a BBC employee go off like this on air.

Thank you, Barry, for pushing back & standing up to the tedious angry bigotry that is being forced down our throats 👏👏👏👏

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 7d

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

"We want people to be living in mixed communities, don't we?"

Robert Jenrick's home is in Eye, Herefordshire, where 165 out of 166 residents were white at the time of the last census.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Apparently, this was "nothing to do with skin colour". Robert Jenrick just likes "mixed communities". Which is why he has also criticised very white neighbourhoods or towns and villages up and down the UK, umm... <checks notes> never.

And why call it 'golden ticket'?

Disgraceful language. These people have lost everything. Should they also lose their spouses and children?

A reminder that last year 4,671 family reunion visas were granted.

4,671.

Does anyone think this number is a major problem for the UK economy and society?
