Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

A brilliant example of what Lewis Goodall talks about when he argues why right-wing radicals keep winning. They don't play by the rules and simply don't care. Whereas the institutions they want to destroy do even when said rules are contorted to absurdity and are blatantly being used against them.
The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

If people like @itvpeston.bsky.social are unsure whether Sarah Pochin's statement was racist, they should try saying exactly the same thing to their employer and see how it goes.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Yeah, this is the sentiment I agree with pretty much. Happy to pity them, but also very hard not to despise them at the same time...
Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years.

You say 'ethnic cleansing', Trump says 'redevelopment',

This is a fascinating little story of our times. 1 hyper-partisans & contrarian nitwits make obviously false claims. 2 fact-checkers, journalists etc easily debunk the lies. 3 AI launders the misinformation, vomiting it on to the internet as “fact”. 4 Gobshites double down on their BS, citing AI.
No UK PM has ever attended a US presidential inauguration.
One reason the ill informed might be insisting otherwise is Musk's Grok... which is wrong.

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him.
None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

FBI Director Chris Wray resigns following Trump nomination of Patel
FBI Director Chris Wray will step down from his post early next year, the bureau said on Wednesday, after Republican President-elect Donald Trump signaled his intent to fire the veteran official and replace him with firebrand Kash Patel.
