It’s an absolute disgrace that the BBC gives Melanie Phillips a platform. She’s now attacking the BBC.

This is all Robbie Gibb’s doing.

@lisanandy you MUST sort this out.

Right: Peter Kyle, "There are facts in public debate.. Debt was £800 billion in 2010, it was £2.6 trillion in 2024"

What these critiques never explain is what happens to UK industry if you do what they say and abandon net zero. The answer is you get a few more years selling 20th century tech (and higher emissions with it) and then your industrial base gets destroyed by clean tech imports.

Closing remarks at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry (CATA):

'The IPC Cell would rather maintain wrongthinking than admit failures.'

Shockingly, Dr. Lisa Ritchie, Chair of the IPC Cell, still claims today that “the predominant spread of COVID-19 is droplet and contact.”

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

So here's the 'go slow' protest by farmers that blockaded the streets around Parliament following the last Conservative Budget

Kemi Badenoch, "Perhaps he can show concern for the 1,100 people who found out yesterday that they could lose their jobs at Vauxhaul's plant in Luton" #PMQs

Keir Starmer, "I would remind her.. The EV mandate was introduced by the last government.. She was the Business Secretary that introduced them"

The really concerning thing is that a recent study from King’s College London revealed that:

▪️Over a THIRD (33.6%) of healthcare workers in England are now suffering from Long Covid.

This is not sustainable.

The guy who set up the general election petition wants Kemi Badenoch to be prime minister & says 2.5 million people can’t be wrong🥴

Not once did Kay burley mention the mass botting & number of non uk residents voting…

Or the SIX BILLION petition for a brexit referendum 😑

[Shirley bottomley @bottomley50]

It's been pointed out to you that the Tories decided where this money went to before they lost the Election,it seems to me,you are just another person pushing misinformation and should be in trouble for it.

[Public Libraries News @publiclibnews]

Jenny Colgan says “I was a library kid, Val McDermid was a library kid, Ian Rankin, we’re all library kids. Unless you only want posh people writing books {you need libraries}.’” https://t.co/iyqdgYPUXU @RhonddaBryant @lisanandy

[Emma Flint (flint.writes on Threads)📚💀🖤📚 @flint_writes]

To all the library kids out there, please keep using your local libraries. In a world where so much is about profit and deadlines, we need libraries.

Use them. Campaign for them. Sign petitions against their closure. Write to your MP. Don’t let them go.

Newsrooms aren’t covering it, but you should know that an Australian direct action campaign is currently sustaining a blockade of the world’s biggest coal port.

Tories gave nearly HALF A BILLION pounds to South West Water since 2013.

South West Water then gave its shareholders more than £1.5 BILLION in dividends and is one of the worst sewage polluters.

Your question SHOULD be: who is behind the persistent attempts to undermine a democratically elected government?
You’re welcome🙄
