“This is not only how we stop Trump, but it’s how we stop the next one” And it’s how we’ll stop reform and Farage 👏👏👏 @ZackPolanski @TheGreenParty #Mamdani #Elections2025
Mamdani's message to Trump 👏 "If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Trump how to defeat him, it's the city that gave rise to him." 'New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

The BBC's has responded in The Guardian that this was a routine editorial decision, but also that it was made on legal advice. Those two explanations don’t fit together. The edit was made at the last minute, after editorial approval and four weeks after the live recording. A
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It's almost impossible to be consistent when you've totally abandoned your principles. How much lower can this Labour Government spiral?
Jury trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea. The Government need to pull their finger out and acquire empty public buildings across the country to make sure these can happen in a way that is safe.

The BBC no-platforming of someone who has been on this story for years, and done some remarkable journalism in the face of threats, writs, abuse and intimidation, is part of the same weirdness of their deliberate downplaying, along with the right wing rags, of what should be one

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise https://t.co/AfwPdlw1S4

Gibb said he never interfered editorially in the Jewish Chronicle Hmm - seems like accuracy is not one of his strong points And isn’t there some kind of sanction for misleading parliament?

❌A shameful step back for nature. The UK Government has pushed the wildlife-harming Planning & Infrastructure Bill through, despite huge opposition. Some risks were reduced, but nature remains at risk. Weakening BNG next would be catastrophic. More: https://t.co/4IsgrZgNEI

The Guardian - 'A new set of forest towns will be built in the area between Oxford and Cambridge, nestled in the middle of a new national forest'. These are charter cities which are being set up in deregulated SEZs. Yet again, The Guardian omits to investigate the truth.
