The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

As Stephen says, this is an incredible line. The previous government cut National Insurance by 4p and had future spending plans that the independent forecaster basically called fictional!

They seem to have expected reality to be more respectful of their manifesto.
“Nobody thought a Labour government would have to raise taxes by more than £70bn,” claims one insider in this excellent piece. Shows the problem of the climate of fear in meetings created by some of Starmer’s aides, in that plenty of Labour insiders, did, in fact, think this!

Let me guess, it's on Ket-head's fucking twitter?
Videos shared hundreds of times online claim that from 1 November the UK government will slow down the internet after midnight.

But this isn’t true. The government has not announced any such policy.

Claims being shared in videos on social media that from 1 November the government will reduce internet speeds from midnight until 6am are false.

It's the thread you didn't know you needed.
If nothing else, then for the embedding of the phrase 'twat cannon'.
It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

We've been trying out 'spending cuts' for 14 of the last 15 years, and it didn't work out, but sure... Let's keep doing the same thing thinking it'll help.

Frankly, this is bloody ridiculous.
Keir Starmer shouldn't wait until the likely fiasco of the May local elections. If he has any concern for party and country, he should step aside now, giving his successor as long as possible to undo the damage of his disastrous premiership and restore hope in politics.

If rumours are believed, Trump has plenty of 'material' on Johnson.
No wonder he does exactly what he's told.
He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

And none of them will ever be able to use their purchased influence on @bsky.app .
They can't 'buy' the algorithm.
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Just wait for the list of pardons he issues just before the end of his term...
There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trump’s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.
President Trump has commuted the seven-year prison sentence of the disgraced congressman George Santos, who was jailed for fraud
