The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.
Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.
Endless projection. I hate him.

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office
He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

Since we've only now discovered how many prisoners escaped under the previous government, we have to ask what else has been covered up.

Ffs SkyNews has footage of the prisoner released in error being arrested, it's news he's back in custody but do we really need footage of him being arrested. The Tories released 672 prisoners in error between March 2013-March 2023, was there footage of them all being taken into custody.

International students are not unwanted migrants. They’re wanted, needed & required for the survival of UK academia as it stands. Yet they’re constantly scapegoated in anti-immigrant political rhetoric. They’re falsely taken for granted. It’s not only unfair but also stupid & destructive.

Very amusing to watch Reform complain about all the things wrong with the UK - every one caused by Brexit - without actually mentioning Brexit, as if they happened by magic.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Can’t use WiFi in prisons apparently, incase of the prisoners using it to access the internet. So it’s all done on paper by hand.
There’s this amazing thing called Ethernet. Dunno why they don’t use that for the offices???
