We are freezing known Russian assets…

But let me be clear, I don’t actually mean the right honourable member for Clacton.”

Westminster's dream: abundant renewable power, dangerous and polluting new nuclear power stations, and ugly infrastructure located in Scotland, conveniently far away from the important voters in the south east of England.

🇬🇧 Remember when the “impartial” bbc assisted “BETTER TOGETHER” to produce a “NO THANKS” campaign video for Indref1

The video was filmed within the bbc North britain, Pacific Quay HQ, using bbc specialist staff, facilities, recording and production equipment

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."
Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off
Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

Five UN Special Rapporteurs condemn Palestine Action ban as "not justified", "unnecessary" and a move associated with authoritarian states. Will this be raised in #PMQs? Will it be covered by @BBCNews?

If you don’t get how out of touch almost all #labour mps are, they think streeting who wants to sell off the nhs and is a defender of Israel’s genocide is the person to replace the fascist starmer. You can’t make this shit up.

This party, like blue tories needs to be destroyed at the ballot box

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

Why isn't Scotland allowed to have it's own broadcasting? Why, because then we'd be able to counter all those everything in Scotland is 💩 stories with facts and WM controlled BBC cannot allow that for fear we'd leave the UK and take our hugely valuable resources with us.

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

Not forgetting the BBC’s almost allergic reaction to Scottish Independence and the outsider status of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, English Regions of the North. BBC generally good, BBC News/BBC News Scotland are propaganda for the dominant discourse and long term institutional elites.
