it’s estimated emissions from oil at rosebank will cause 57,000 deaths+£114 billion in damage so of course the bbc has written a light hearted human interest story with barely a mention of the catastrophic impact drilling there would have. utter disgrace. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqy8…

Rosebank: Life on the oil field at the centre of a political storm

Scotland editor James Cook finds out what life is like on board a ship in an untapped oil field awaiting its fate.

Just Rishi Sunak earning ÂŁ6265/ hour advising Goldman Sachs and ÂŁ7729/hour consulting to Microsoft... while sitting as a backbench MP. The median UK salary is ÂŁ41k/year. Sunak earns that in just over five hours consulting for Microsoft. What service is he providing, exactly?
Labour Right Watch@LabourRightWtch7h
My focus is normally Labour MPs, but look at this. Rishi Sunak earns £2.2 million from his side jobs with Anthropic, Microsoft and Goldman Sachs while still being an MP. 💰💰💰

This is murderous, colonial racism and it’s justified as a devine right. That should horrify any sane person.

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”. What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure. In what world is that left wing?

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts. This is a sign of a democracy in decline.

Nobody wants to buy a service they can’t walk away from. Palantir’s critics have long claimed we ‘lock in’ our customers. We don’t. This short film explains why. It’s the first in a series on the gap between the rhetoric about Palantir and the work we actually do.

Imagine trying to persuade the British public to trust your company with their data and deciding the best way to do it is - "Let's get Tom Watson to vouch for us."

🚨 This is getting seriously dangerous. The @BBC is withdrawing educational material on climate change and migration following accusations of political bias. CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION. It's established science. MIGRATION IS A FACT OF HUMAN HISTORY. Its economic, social and cultural contributions are documented, as are the challenges it can create. Immigration policy is open to debate, but children deserve to understand the evidence, not have political uncomfortable facts filtered out. Political impartiality must never mean treating established evidence as ideology. Education should teach children to examine reality critically, not sanitise it to avoid political controversy. #ClimateChange #Immigration

Good. It was utter madness that the BBC ever thought it was acceptable to publish “educational tools” pushing left-wing political agendas onto schoolchildren in the first place. I wrote to the BBC calling for them to be removed, & I’m glad they’ve listened.

“I only need to talk to Jewish people about whether something is antisemitic.” That sounds like a reasonable principle. So why do you think you can pronounce on what does and what doesn’t constitute anti-Palestinian racism without talking to a single Palestinian?

Last week I went on an amateur YouTube channel to discuss a number of issues , including Israel Palestine. They kept making a big fuss, saying to me: “we don’t edit and always show the whole interview”. Unfortunately that was very creative with the truth. They edited what on their own could be controversial comments - released them - and kept the full interview behind a paywall. This sort of behaviour is a part of the problem. To be clear: I only need to talk to Jewish people about whether something is antisemitic. If you have the chance to watch the full interview (don’t pay, hopefully they will release it) you will see me repeatedly calling for peace, a two state solution and equality for all. And you will see why I have referred the Green Party to the EHRC - the motion itself is a part of that reason.

The repeated warnings to prepare for war in the UK aren't based on a serious assessment. It's a comms strategy. The govt know that shifting spending to arms during a collapse in living standards is unpopular. They justify it by creating a war fever. It's as simple as that.

It really is fascinating how we construct what facts you’re allowed to be ignorant of, and those you are not. It’s central I think to understanding the operation of the media, the curation of the public conversation.
