Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

I predict that the loudest sound ever to be heard in the world will be the collective sigh of relief that greets the news of Donald Trump's demise.

Here in lies the problem. Farage is by any measure a duplicitous character, unworthy of public respect, steeped in a Machiavellian conspiracy but none of this cuts through with his base. They do not want heed the evidence preferring to drown the voice of true patriots in a deluge of blind adulation

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

I think I have remarked before that I am an atheist but I believe I follow the doctrines of Jesus of Nazareth far more closely than a great many of the self professed Christians like Kemi Badenoch who apparently claims that Christian values have been a constant all her life. B*** S***!

Just finished binge watching BBC's Civilisations, Rise and Fall and I intend to watch it again. Great, compulsory viewing for all. And if you need a further recommendation: The Daily Torygraph hates it.

Caught lobbying for cash or bullying in Parliament? You can still return to the House of Lords - for life.
No real consequences. No accountability.

Lords found guilty of serious misconduct – like bullying or lobbying for cash – still get to make our laws. I just signed a petition to kick rule-breaking peers out of the Lords for good. Want to add...

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

Sign the petition: Strip Boris Johnson of his annual former PM allowance
23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today:

It's not a coincidence that the four most damaging politicians of the last two decades (Cameron, Osborne, Johnson and Farage) are all the products of English public schools.

Fascist Reform leader Richard Tice would get REALLY upset if you shared this widely on all forms of social media so lots of people can keep it and bring it out before the next election to show that he is as big a liar as Keir Starmer.

So please don't, he would be *very* upset.

Boris Johnson, now whinging that the Covid Enquiry conclusions are muddled. Well as the man who brought us Farage's Brexit, didn't level up, didn't build 40 new hospitals but held party's in defiance of his own laws, nobody is more than qualified than he to recognise a muddle.
