Hatchet job on Labour’s budget on @BBCNEandCumbria . No real journalism, just vox pops. Tory MP has the neck to complain about fuel prices - his party supported Trump’s war in Iran, a massive reason for increased petrol costs.

These long, detailed interviews with, or statements from, famous footballers and other well known people. Why do ppl post them when they are clearly fictional? All making strong arguments, perfectly written, with no grammatical errors. I know how it’s done: my question is, why?

This man speaks for Trump. He calls Putin “A humanitarian”. Farage is a big supporter of Trump. Presumably Farage thinks highly of Putin too. It’s treachery.

Real estate agent Witkoff called Putin (a dictator who even kills his own citizens) a "humanitarian"😵‍💫

@BBCPM If America is attacked repeatedly by a foreign country, what territory will the US concede to reach a settlement? Please ask the Trump apologist this question.

Unsurprisingly, they didn’t ask her that very simple question. The interviewee suggests “both sides have to give something up” to end Russia’s war on Ukraine. Oh really? 🤬🤬🤬

Good grief, that was an honest appraisal of Trump on @BBCPM by a former Tory minister Ben Wallace. 👍

Trump is drawn to Putin like a moth to a flame. It was only a matter of time before he was manipulated into betraying Zelenskyy and Ukraine once again. Putin, a disastrous Russian president, plays him like a fiddle. Trump’s actions will stain the USA’s reputation for generations.

Awful. Wrong team selection, formation and tactics. Two in midfield, no, stop it. Wissa is not a number 10. No focal point up front. We outpossessed them but they’re down at the bottom of the league. #Nufc

Great reporting here and by “Hope not Hate”, but why does it need to be HNH and similar discovering and informing us of this stuff? Govt is asleep at the wheel while our democracy is being bought/stolen. HM govt - please wake up and take notice. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Oh dear! @BBCr4today is meant to be interviewing Kemi Badenoch, but has chosen to allow her to make several uninterrupted speeches.

I’ll be honest, it never once occurred to me that ‘English’ was a race rather than a nationality. The English are a mongrel race of Normans, Germanic tribes and Anglo Saxons who themselves were a melting pot of old English, Danes etc

theguardian.com/football/202… Great read.

We Manchester City fans fear relegation and losing trophies … but club are bang to rights

Despite the club’s shocking attempts to legally filibuster the charges out of existence for the past three years, we’ve rightfully failed

Who is the monstrous Tory on @BBCr4today? Vile.

Weird. The recently emerging battalions of bots supporting Farage and Reform. Sneakily, the bots don’t spell properly or punctuate. This is to make them look like human, authentic Reform supporters, not like bots.
