@msm_monitor The BBC is allegedly a public broadcaster. How is the funding levy legally applied to now privatised industries exactly?
I thought people were supposed to have choice?
People aren't paying it because they don't trust the impartiality of the news and current affairs dept.
On the eve of The Office’s 25th anniversary, I’m taking it back to the very beginning with a clip from the unaired pre-pilot presentation we put together, which led to the BBC commission.
What the f*ck is he talking about? Harold Wilson won 3 majorities for Labour (one of them a landslide): in 1964, 1966, and October 1974. And he was a far better prime minister than Starmer!
Sky and ITV’s viewing share combined in the UK is still lower than YouTube’s.
“Their combined TV and streaming viewing share stood at 18.3% in May, which was just behind YouTube’s share of 18.6%, according to Barb, the official UK ratings body.”
Ben Habib on Nigel Farage's resignation,
"You don't resign if you are innocent"
"You resign when you're guilty"
"He's repeatedly said in the last few days that he wasn't politically active"
"Nigel Farage has been politically active non-stop since 2019 as majority shareholder and director of Reform UK"
"Every single thing he's done, he's done with that in the background"
"This isn't a legitimate by-election, it's one that been called in order to short circuit parliamentary standards"
I trust the people of Clacton to judge me on my record. Apart from the record that shows I have visited American more times than Clacton, have never held a constituency surgery and rarely bother to drag my arse into Parliament to do my actual job.
🚨 Michael Crick asks the obvious question:
If Nigel Farage believes MPs should seek a fresh mandate whenever circumstances change, why haven’t Conservative MPs who defected to Reform fought by-elections?
Crick also points out the irony that while Farage presents himself as a champion of democracy, Reform has “very little internal democracy” - it’s a limited company dictatorship controlled by Farage!!!
Imagine calling for a by-election because you think its your god gjven right to take money from convicted criminals of WIRE fraud and foreign billionaires!
Who's paying for this by-election? Harborne or the tax payer?
Clarification: Sky News was not at the property at 7.41am. As has already been acknowledged, and as shown in the footage from 10.19am, Sky News was outside a property where Mr Farage was registered to vote at the last election. Sky News did not interact with Mr Farage’s daughter.
On a single occasion, we approached the property without a camera operator, identified ourselves as Sky News, and the adult occupant chose not to engage. We were seeking to contact Mr Farage to ask questions about the gift he accepted from Mr Cottrell. This is a well-established and routine journalistic practice when reporting on matters of legitimate public interest.
The footage clearly demonstrates that Sky News did not “hound” or pursue Mr Farage’s daughter. At no stage did we seek to speak to anyone other than Mr Farage in connection with this story.
'I was attacked by a mob of 50 people. The car was written off by them but I didn't bother to claim on the insurance' - A mob of 50 people smashing his car up but in 2026 not one person filming it? Get fucked, lying toad.
You are AN ELECTED MP, you doughnut. That makes your earnings OUR BUSINESS.
People are saying they’ve not seen him this angry before, yeah, because he’s not faced accountability before.
He’s completely buckled under a fraction of the scrutiny that other MPs have endured.
A timely reminder Nigel Farage wants to
- leave the ECHR
- repeal the Equality Act
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Resigning now puts a halt to the inquiry that could have seen Nigel Farage suspended for failing to declare his £5m gift"
"It forces a by-election now before the truth has been established about that money, and any other gifts or donations"
"Such as those revealed over the weekend from a convicted fraudster"
"But if re-elected the Standards Inquiry resumes and another by-election could be forced anyway"
"The other parties are saying they won't indulge this contest"
"And it looks like the only serious opposition Mr Farage faces could come from Count Binface"
@CountBinface 👏 This is yours for the taking
