Can only begin to imagine how many front pages and how many of the trash TV talk shows would go to town if any senior Labour politician did this. Two tier press.

[John Kampfner @johnkampfner]

The World Tonight & Crossing Continents were the last BBC programmes that dealt in depth with global affairs. Their demise says everything about priorities in British public life, which is mired more than at any time in monolingual mediocrity & insularity. You reap what you sow.

[Mark Urban @MarkUrban01]

Fascinating that Starmer is widely regarded as doomed when so many key metrics are going his way: channel crossings, migration more generally, NHS waiting lists, and today’s inflation numbers

When the very cradle of modern democracy is reduced to having just a handful of real journalists left, Carole Cadwalladr stands as the first among them.

This brave and brilliant woman exposed the Cambridge Analytica scandal and shook the world.

Today, those she threatened by writing the truth are doing everything they can to discredit her.

Remember: Carole is one of the finest investigative journalists the UK and the world have today.

Spread the word and share her thread please ‼️‼️

Her latest investigation proves exactly why our democracy is under threat.

While brave whistleblowers tried to warn MI5 about Kremlin infiltration, the establishment chose to look the other way, and Boris Johnson actively suppressed the Russia report because the truth was too inconvenient.

The security services did nothing, the police did nothing, and the government refused to protect British democracy.

Fast forward to today, and we see foreign operatives directing arson attacks against our PM, yet the Westminster press gallery is still playing court jester, recycling anonymous gossip instead of defending the nation.

As Carole highlights, the chandeliers are falling into our soup and the establishment is pretending it is just the weather.

It is time to wake up, stand with real journalism, and demand a full public inquiry into foreign interference.

[Tom Tugendhat @TomTugendhat]

The @BBCNews has now confirmed what some of us warned for years.

A Russian diplomat ran a sabotage campaign on British soil: arson against the Prime Minister’s own home, and fake far-right and Islamist groups built to turn us against each other. This is not crime. It is how war is fought by powers who don’t want to expose their hand. https://t.co/G7cp3xaZQK

[Steffi Ede @MumofFatCassie]

The BBC investigative piece yesterday about who was behind the arson attacks on Starmer's property, and the links to civil unrest across the UK, demonstrates how a bad actor can very easily destabilise a democracy.
We have been played and we really need to wake up. #r4today

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Imagine for a second that a real estate conference took place in London where Russian occupiers sold stolen Ukrainian land and property.

You have to imagine, because that rightly wouldn't have been allowed. If it's stolen Palestinian land though, that's apparently totally fine.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

After watching you lot whitewash a genocide for almost 3 years its no wonder.

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

When the target is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, this is not just a party story. It's a national story.
A Russian-linked attack on the PM's home should have dominated headlines for weeks.
Instead, much of the political class carried on as though it were routine.
If we cannot recognise an attack on our democracy when it happens, we leave the door open for the next one.

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

Who was the last Global Leader who had his house fire bombed by Russians?

Oh yes, our very own Keir Starmer.

Ignored by the media in Britain. Why???

This vendetta by our media absolutely stinks.

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

In barely a few seconds @BowenBBC's commentary on the Iran/US deal on @BBCr4today just now was extraordinarily good. In a world where my media seems, too often, to have lost collective memory he puts events in such informed context.

[Roger Mosey @rogermosey]

Some irony here in that it was Conservative MPs in particular who railed against the BBC sending staff abroad to cover major events.

[🧟‍♀️ @crewslover]

a world cup co-hosted by mexico, a spanish speaking country, and reporters are banned from asking questions in spanish like do you know how ridiculous racist and weird you have to be to push for only english at a global event

[Barbara @BarbaraSutton15]

Coincidence The Greens not mentioned on @bbclaurak this morning-as if they are not running in the Makerfield by election-this is scandalous from an institution that dictates the social mores to such a wide audience-rank hypocrisy

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

A judge decided that they knew better than the jury.
That is not how our justice system is meant to work.

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

Please do traipse up to these mobs in, say, loyalist East Belfast and praise them because “all they want to be is Irish.”

Let us know how that goes.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists

Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.

It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.

The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.

Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.

The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.

Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

Media covering Musk trillion without any real regard to broader issues of inequality, tech bro abuses of power, his extreme politics. Glad to have been in a primary school this morning where the views on Musk were a lot wiser and less flattering.

[Tony Scott @Tony_Scott11]

My lad has just asked me what's the best ever goal scored at the World Cup.
Told him this without hesitation.
Everything about it.
