ABC's @marykbruce deserves a lot of credit for asking these questions. When Trump insulted her news outlet, she calmly responded, "But the question is important, sir."

Election interference came to the UK in 2016, the Brexit governments couldn’t investigate it and the Labour government does not have the spine to expose all those involved in it and its cover up.

🤔 What links these British institutions?

BBC & Channel 4
Bank of England
Jaguar Land Rover
The NHS
Our universities

A: They’ve all been attacked by right-wing populists who target the best of Britain to stir division and feed off anger.

Don’t let them. Optimism beats outrage.

Daniel Kinahan is one of the most powerful cocaine traffickers in the world—but he lives a strikingly public life in Dubai, shopping at malls and consorting with famous boxers like Tyson Fury. https://t.co/6n4qAyD100

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”

And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

Police gathered incriminating evidence about the Irish drug lord Daniel Kinahan, but he operated from both a technological and a geographic remove from the gory scenes on the Dublin streets: like many other wealthy criminals, he had moved to Dubai. https://t.co/o1HvxDxIif

Zia Yusuf, "You just accused me of spreading misinformation, please tell me, what is it that I've just said"

Zack Polanski, "You've said the first bit which is correct, that we don't have enough prison spaces, NHS beds, or investment in our communities"

"What immigrant has taken away those resources?"

"As opposed to those resources being underfunded?"

"You can't blame austerity on one hand, but then say it's the immigrants"

"The immigrants haven't caused austerity"

Spent 5 hours on the Sunday shows today @bbclaurak @BBCOne, @TrevorPTweets @SkyNews, @CamillaTominey @GBNEWS, @adamboultonTABB @TimesRadio.

Not a single interview with a @reformparty_uk representative on their ex-Wales leader @NathanGillMEP admitting to taking Russian bribes (per @ITVWales).

I rate these journalists, but I remember when they went all-in on @BorisJohnson’s cake and @Keir_Starmer’s curry.

Equally, neither @Keir_Starmer, @JamesCleverly or @SteveReedMP thought to use the story to their advantage in their interviews…

Now a decades-long ally of the party leading in the polls, with its curious Russia-Ukraine stance, is caught up in a Kremlin bribery story… and silence?

Strange priorities.

[Timothy Day @somefingoruvver]

We should all take a minute, or several, listen to this, take a breath and pull back. We know anger and hate isn’t the answer we all need to step back. I’m as guilty as the next person. Bollocks isn’t it? We all get sucked into the diatribe and division. Most of us aren’t extreme

Facebook reminds me I was interviewing the BBC Chair #OnThisDay nine years ago. I revealed she’d been (re)appointed without due process by the Tory PM. She resigned shortly afterwards. PM then made her a Tory peer.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Problem is people at the top are so worried about being accused of living in a metropolitan elite bubble they have created a culture which equates populist BS with public opinion. The country loses out because of the dumbed down numbed down effect and they lose out too because they are playing the tune of people who want to destroy them. Weird

Peter from Wolverhampton, "Nigel Farage is a man of common sense, golf club common sense"

Marina Purkiss, "Which bit of his common sense do you admire the most Peter from Wolverhampton?"

Peter, "Well he was absolutely against the madness of Europe and now he's against the madness of immigration, and that's common sense"

Marina Purkiss, "And you're glad that we Brexited?"

Peter, "Absolutely because Europe is a madhouse"

Marina Purkiss, "Yeah, and how are we doing now? What do you love about Brexit the most?"

Peter, "It's a lot better now than being in the madhouse"

Marina Purkiss, "What are you enjoying most about your new Brexit freedoms?"

Peter, "Being free"

Marina Purkiss, "To do what, that you couldn't do before?"

Peter, "Well, not being in Europe"

Marina Purkiss, "Why is it Brexiters can never explain anything tangible"

Kwasi Kwarteng who crashed the economy with Liz Truss, "I think Europe is in a mess. The French are going to have their third or fourth prime minister in a year"

Jeremy Kyle, "Is that a reason to leave the EU?"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "No, I'm just, when people say that Europe is this wonderful thing"

Marina Purkiss, "But no one is saying that, but we were better in it than outside of it"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "That's complete nonsense"

Marina Purkiss, "I'm sorry, we're having to plug the economic gap now. Do you at least acknowledge the economic damage, the loss to the treasury, the loss of tax receipts as a result of our leaving the EU?"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "We got a much better deal with Trump's America on the tariffs on the EU"

Jeremy Kyle, "As a nation have we lost any wealth as a result of Brexit?"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "I don't think we've lost any"

Marina Purkiss, "You can't have a conversation with somebody if they're going to say that"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "I don't think we have. Look at Europe, are they growing?"

Jeremy Kyle, "We had to bail out Greece"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "We did, it cost us £9 billion"

Marina Purkiss, "£9 billion? Our divorce agreement with the EU was £38 billion"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "Yes, yes"

Marina Purkiss, "For nothing. And that's not even the impact of Brexit"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "If we stayed in, we'd be on the hook for all the other bail outs"

Jeremy Kyle, "There haven't been any"

Kwasi Kwarteng, "Umm, there have. There will be"

"And if we go back we'd have to join the Euro. Is that what you're up for?"

Marina Purkiss, "We shouldn't have had to do that, why did we leave in the first place?"

"Another one of your legacies"
