I liked it better when journalists followed the rule of "write in such a way that an article can be edited down simply by cutting the bottom off" rather than "drag out getting to the point as long as possible, so that readers must scroll through lots of adverts"

Untrue. @UKHSA should ask @Telegraph to amend this piece. Its concerns were about bereaved relatives being harassed by anti vaxxers.
Government ‘withholding data that may link Covid jab to excess deaths’ UKHSA says best not to know the truth, in case it may upset us Unacceptable

Late late addition: GB News host Bev Turner (now fronting their DC office) flew back to the UK for a surprise appearance at Together's event. Turner has promoted false claims that the pandemic was a hoax and elderly people were murdered with midazolam. https://t.co/Uqtg8Df5ZK
The latest "GB News Original" (broadcast on YouTube to dodge Ofcom) features Bev Turner, Neil Oliver and guest Ed Dowd falsely claiming that covid doesn't exist or wasn't dangerous, the pandemic was a hoax, and excess deaths were caused by hospitals and covid vaccines. 😳

🧵 UsForThem and their tame Telegraph hack Camilla Turner are misrepresenting UKHSA's grounds for not releasing data that anti-vaxxers think would prove covid vaccines killed vast numbers of people. They claim it's because it would distress people if a link was proven. It isn't.

@benleo444 No. I don’t think much of the licence fee. But I think even less of people like you constantly lecturing everybody else about their lack of patriotism, whilst simultaneously going weak at the knees for a foreign president trying to litigate a British institution to destruction.

Joking aside, the only British person I've ever hear using Putin's phrase "special military invasion" is the conspiracy theorist @beverleyturner of @GBNEWS
An analysis of BBC news coverage over the last 4 years shows a shameless bias against Vladimir Putin, with BBC reporters insisting on calling the Special Military Operation in Ukraine “an invasion”

Flogging off BBC America to AMC Networks last November may have been a smart move. If Trump were to prevail in Florida, how would he collect his $1 billion? There is no reciprocal enforcement agreement between the UK and USA.

I don't think there are many novels about The Millenium Bug. Which is odd, because it's an interesting premise: what if it had happened and on 1 January 2000 everything had shut down? Do shout if you've come across any good ones.

The top two results on Amazon when I searched for "John Fetterman" are AI-generated spam books by made-up authors with no other Google results. One is 56 pages. The other 83. His actual memoir is only the third result.

"Red-Pilling in a Clown World" - endorsed by Bev Turner of GB News and Matt Attwood on the front cover, and by Kate Kline, Kate Shemirani and Matt Le Tissier on the back. The blurb addresses readers as "digital soldiers for Q and a White Hat military operation".

Awkwardly, a year ago Bev Turner also took seriously the suggestion that Donald Trump might be a "psyop" of the "technocrats and global cabal".

Tonight @GBNEWS presenter Bev Turner is urging people to buy a book by a QAnon "digital soldier" who alleges the King is controlled by Jewish bankers, Israel staged the October 7 slaughter, Trump is still the President and in November "deep state players" will be slain.

So it would now seem that all the #Nationalpress have all got the same story about my late husband Brian Murphy’s private will. It is wrong information. I am very upset. I am grieving, I have lost my soul mate and love of my life. Please how can you do this?

Thank you. None if it is true by the way. And I am very upset. Thank you for your kind words. It seems all the papers have nothing else to print. Bless you 🩷
@Linda_Regan Linda, I have to say, I think is very bad of the press, to be plastering info about what Brian left behind. No ones business but yours xx

@BeastmodeBox Every other way to criticise Femi's views would be a legitimate way to criticise Femi. Criticising Femi by saying he is a black man who looks like a caricature of a black man just brings toxicity to the tweeter, not the target, of that ugly abusive racially defined jibe
