Chris Mason: Burnham saga unlikely to be last act in drama of Starmer's leadership In a show of brute power, No 10 has scuppered Burnham’s attempted run from Manchester to Westminster.

Hey #BBC #ChrisMason - why not report on some real news rather than just churning our your usual anti-Labour bile. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Maybe #Farage would like to comment on this? Perhaps he'd just do that smug smile and condescending look that says. "I own the BBC"?

Why? Because, checks notes, the US is not a dictatorship. I thought it was the home of democracy (didn't Trump invent it). I've yet to see any of his 'policies' (ok rants) put to Congress to be voted through.

Now that is worrying.

So #Trump does a massive U Turn and it gets a mention on #BBC. Pretty sure that will mean no BBC employees will be able to visit the US after that.

Can anyone please tell me why Congress are doing nothing about #Trump rampant disregard for the democratic process? Thanks.

Petition: By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their...

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

Farage’s Reform UK dropping in polls Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is experiencing a setback in British polls. According to the latest numbers by YouGov, the right-wing party is at is lowest point since April 2025…

Farage’s Reform UK dropping in polls

The Nobel peace prize committee has already said that the prize is not transferable. Trump's delusions are not reality.

Doesn’t mean he won it!

The World Service is still the best reporting service in the world. Why? Well for a start they only really have time to report the facts…not their opinions (which they are told to have). People like Bowen just get on with it!

How the site of the Battle of Orgreave became a community again Residents say area has moved on from its mining past - but others think history should be marked.

Interesting article by #BBCNews - of course they fail to mention that the pit closed in October 1981. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Glad to see #BBCBreakfast giving Reform UK carte blanche to make promises that they can't keep.

#BondiBeach - so the BBC report the thoughts & prayers from all the real political leaders in the UK, followed by Farage making a political point. Well done Nige, you clearly don’t have a sympathetic bone in your body!

#BBC are governed by the #FarageProtocol so aren’t allowed to broadcast anything that might be detrimental to the leader!

It’s really simple…

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting

…that’ll do it.

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

“I’ll never forget the look of hatred he had for me, simply for existing.... Nigel Farage has suggested it’s inconceivable that anyone could recall such events of more than four decades ago. I would simply ask: can a victim of such abuse ever forget?” Yinka Bankole

I guess this is linked with the USA where winning then World Cup in 2026! #Italy1936 #Argentina1978 #Berlin1936

Hang on! A Brexit supporter who lives in France…how does that work?

Shocked & stunned #BBC have done this. Clearly it breaches the #FarageProtocol so they will have to give him extra air time to compensate.

Ukip founder Alan Sked: 'The party has become a Frankenstein's monster' He may have founded Ukip, but Alan Sked's moderate, Brussels-boycotting party has gone rogue. Stuart Jeffries meets the academic who's desperate to stop the bandwagon he first set rolling

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.

The Confidence Trick That Put Boris Johnson Into Power Is Now Being Used on Nigel Farage The same people who convinced the British public to back a catastrophic Boris Johnson premiership are now pulling the same trick again with Nigel Farage

Interviewers to scared.

Nicely balance reporting considering that Boris’ best mate has been speculating on it for three months.

America is in big trouble isn’t it.

So. England win - guess #BBCSport will have to say it was lucky?

And sadly we know that the media will win!
