And to be honest the thoroughly unpleasant #reform individual was allowed to run riot without any control. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Such @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social balance last night. The Tories and reform as the political representatives - it's no wonder the UK is drifting rightwards. The BBC seems determined to push this agenda

#politicslondon When you see the quality of #tory MPs on the programme you realise what a poor state the party is in.

Why do the @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social spend as much time platforming #gbnews as they do #reform? I bet there aren't many BBC guests going the other way!

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

Certainly seems to be - I would think that some elements of the Tories are thinking Kruger is no loss.

#politticslondon is back - and remarkably no mention of the thuggery that went on in London yesterday.

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny!

Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control ...

What nobody is covering about the #rayneraffair is that she broke the rules and resigned. When this happened under the #tories they tried to change the rules.

I bet #bbcnews don't cover the Lib Dems conference with as much enthusiasm as they're pumping the #reform company conference.

Darren Jones is pretty impressive - dealt with #bbcnews shoe-horning #reform into the interview this morning better than I've seen from anyone in this government.

Yep and when he talks about more scrutiny of Reform - it won't be #bbcnews doing that.

It is amazing how much damage Thatcher and her acolytes did and how quickly it has all begun to unravel.

I mean the LibDems kicking out Reform is big news right.. but it’s only really big news when 5 MP Party Reform wins something.. but not when 72 MP LibDems win a seat

Why❓ Well they’re not Farage and Reform that MSM want in Govt 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well the 'new' publicly owned South Western Railway is truly dreadful. Who thought 1/2 length trains would be a good idea! #southwesternrailway

Not sure cutting the trains in half on the Reading line is a good advert for the new public railway. #southwesternrailway @greatbritishrail.bsky.social

Brexit has unleashed a tidal wave of immigration, while robbing us of Freedom of Movement, the worst curtailment of our liberty in 200 years.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union

Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.
