Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests.

According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle.

Given that the far right hates Black and Brown people, hates women, hates immigrants, hates liberals, leftists and greens, hates students and universities, hates civil servants, hates disabled people, hates gay and trans people and hates Jews and Muslims, what is this country it claims to love?

The sheer number of people Trump pardoned — 1,500+ — and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed means it is statistically likely that a fair number will be revidivists, potentially for more egregious crimes. The pardons should be a top story EVERY DAY
Welcome to “justice” in Donald Trump’s America.

🦷 DIY dentistry should never be anyone’s only option.
Across the country people can’t get an NHS dentist. Children end up in hospital with tooth decay and adults live in pain. NHS dentistry needs urgent funding and reform.

It’s time for the Government to fix this gap for good.

Hey #Trump here in the UK we really hated you. Now you are trying to sue the BBC you will find out how much that hate has escalated into utter loathing & revulsion. Your whole career is built on lies. If you take on the BBC in the UK courts, we will happily air all those lies in public.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump, Farage or their cheerleaders at GB News.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up to Trump and defend our BBC, to keep it strong and truly independent.

This is what Farage wants for the NHS.
Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,

£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.

Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.

Say NO to privatisation.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

That's where tax payers money has gone , and on Freeports too, three are 80%owned by Black Rock. Tax payers money is going to private companies who run the Freeports where big corporates get tax relief and pay no tax. That's why there is a 40 billion black hole. Starmer and Reeves must go!!!!
