Nope. Not him, nor Bradley Walsh nor Alex Jones or others off the One Show. Strictly isn't comedy or daytime TV. They wouldn't fit. La Voix in for Claudia I think.

It’s the hysterical lying predominantly white male racists I worry about more.
So, Mike Graham was fired by Talk for failing to comply with an internal racism inquiry.

Here's what they happily allow on their platform. Not much between Graham's comments and many of these anti-migrant ideologues, arguably...

The thing about the moment we are in is we have been here before. During the Brexit Referendum campaign, the Johnson years, and now with Farage's ascent. Our established press has played a role in why we have got to this point in British politics. What's happening at the BBC now was an inevitability

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.

I won't allow fascists to undermine my faith in the BBC because this is where it will lead us. Those fascists will have take away a platform that tries to tell the truth to all of us. Speaking of which let's have more information about the BBC board's affiliations. youtube.com/shorts/9qivX...

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

I think Holly Willoughby would be a bad choice for the main program. Zoe Ball and La Voix would be great. Claudia is unique and adorable so HW would be a poor replacement for her and ZB would be a better Tess #Strictly

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.
NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

The people (Tories and Reform) who tell you your rights are safe if we leave the ECHR as they’ll replace them with British laws also told you our trade, borders and NHS was safe if we left the EU because they’d negotiate amazing trade deals, take control of our borders and fix the NHS…..

When I lent Labour my vote at the last election it wasn’t to do things like this.
This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.
NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Absolutely not what we need but clearly a lever that Reform could use to get power. Just looking at the misery developing in America why would we want to replicate it. Working class people would see more control and more money flow to rich and our healthcare system would be destroyed.

If you are following along with my Subaru UK saga. The courier shipping the part has apparently lost it on route to Subaru UK before they send it to the dealer. Apparently, replacing the replacement part will take a week. No car for four weeks at that point.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.
