@Snowdenmoney@SnappyTurtle73@donwinslow@grok The gov can manufacture some outrage, create a false narrative that the figures are so bad, they’re trying to hide them. Then they’ll get published and everyone will realise that it was a big fuss over nothing. Keep the opposition chasing shadows and not watching the ball
@DonaldTrumpnq Seems a highly unlikely poll, the largest cohort will always be don’t know / don’t care, and that’s at least half the population. A larger proportion in England will be positive towards his politics than not, even if they think he’s a dick. Other regions don’t make the numbers
@LizWebsterSBF@Peston Why do you believe that anything from biased editorial, intended to deceive, to outright fabrication, as was the case on the “fight like hell” clip, is remotely acceptable? The state broadcaster should be like Reuters. No editorial, no opinion pieces, just known, current, facts
@Peston Having to endure a fake insurrection trial, with this “evidence” by the BBC regularly used at the centre of it feels pretty damaging to me. This could be the greatest textbook example of gaslighting I have ever seen.
@RichardJMurphy The US is a core market for BBC studios, it brings in more than 2 billion a year from that market. He will file suit in a friendly state and the federal government will put the boot on their throat. Pay up, or lose the American market.
@RichardGCorbett Faking an insurrection which hundreds of millions across the world fell for, the central tenet of which was used in a political trial…. Is a bit more than “upsetting trump”.
@BladeoftheS Using an aggregate average of polls, Trumps popularity is around 44%. It never dips lower than his base. That would make him more popular than any musician, or sports team. in history. He’s divisive, certainly - but he’s not unpopular. That’s a ridiculous statement
@GavinNewsom *Commercial networks making commercial decisions. Maybe the country has moved on and the prime time rhetoric of the past 20 years is dead?
@iadarshkashyap @EricLDaugh What percentage of the cost of an iPhone do you think is assembly? The vast majority of the the cost is already in the US, in design, engineering, marketing and innovation. Assembly will be in the single digit percentages.
@Painting_Sculpt@DerekOsheaShow@ImMeme0@grok Those are absolutely gold standard sources though - it can’t possibly get better than an official statistic. The real issue is the reliance on projections and polls, which are almost always meaningless
@JoJoFromJerz It’s not as simple as that. The global market for a product will absorb that cost, and then sellers can decide whether to pass it on in full, in part, or not at all. It would appear that it’s not having any inflationary impact. So, no. We don’t pay the tariffs.
