If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

I knew Matt Goodwin promoted the far right Great Replacement Theory but until @huwcdavies.bsky.social pointed it out, I didn't realise he'd actually interviewed the originator of the theory on his GB News show and plugged it like he's PT Barnum. A vote for Goodwin is a vote for white nationalism

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Keir Starmer: you are actually the leader of the Labour Party, so stop letting your every utterance and decision to be influenced by what Reform voters think. I don't give a fuck what Reform voters think. Deliver Labour policies, you fanny.

Israel forced the crew of the #FreedomFlotilla to throw their phones into the sea.

This looks like piracy, as well as breaching international law.

They have illegally kidnapped the crew of a ship sailing peacefully in international waters, seizing their boat & their property.

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...

It’s time to set the agenda on our terms folks. We decide the outcome of elections not the broadcasters. If you’re angry with the 2029 Gen Elex being framed 4 years out around one man, demand to hear from ALL our parties regularly now Reset the rules. Sign here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

This petition is not about your personal views on one party or another. It’s about fairness. In a multi party country our broadcasters should be giving coverage to ALL our parties regularly not just giving us binary narratives.

'Keir Starmer needs to discover some conviction to hold onto power' Until the Labour Party changes, it fights Reform with its hands tied behind its back.

β€œFarage and Tice have spent the last few months frothing about pylons, solar panels, battery storage systems – because nothing says 'man of the people' like sabotaging the infrastructure that keeps bills down. They hate them.”

I am asked, a lot, about how Labour could effectively combat Reform without pushing further to the right, and basically just reinforcing Reform's messaging. So, buckle up, here's a thread on it. Disclaimer though, this a simplified thread of a complex issue, and even then it is going to be long. 1/
