There is no clearer image of British politics than this: the camera shows you the man, the wider frame shows you the machine.
In Orwell’s Britain, the lie was printed. In ours, it is lit, framed and carefully edited.
This is Marie-France van Heel, she is a director of Be.EV & Iduna Infrastructure, she is also Chief Marketing and Customer Officer for Octopus Energy. In her capacity on both these rolls she secured a contract to supply EV infrastructure and supply energy to Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the famous “Bus” project the now ex mayor of Manchester keeps banging on about. One thing that he possibly fails to shout about is the this woman that got this contract is in fact Andy Burnham’s wife
@BBC outrageous interview of Nigel Farage by @sallynugent - rude and completely disrespectful compared to how Ed David’s dand Kemi Badenoch were treated earlier in the programme
We know that the problem presented by sectarian Islamism in this country is only beginning.
As the population of believing Muslims grows, so the threat of Islamist supremacism will grow disproportionately with it.
As Emma Trimble points out, even minority numbers of radicalised Muslims can have an outsized impact on what the rest of the population can say and do.
Rather than tackling the problem, in the wake of the Gorton & Denton by-election, the Labour Party is in the process of cutting a deal with the Islamist bloc to stem the flood of Muslim voters deserting them for the Greens.
That’s why Steve Reed’s anti-Muslim hostility definition was rushed through.
Labour is pandering to Islamist supremacism.
How are future generations going to deal with it?
Always been a big supporter of @bbc but this is appalling on multiple levels. Stop the wokeness and stop pandering to the minorities. Oh yes, and don’t be surprised if ‘000s of people stop paying the licence fee on the back of this crap.
Britain is a dog loving country, as this report even admits. So why are the BBC suddenly putting out anti-dog propaganda?
Something has changed. Can’t quite put my finger on it.
@Keir_Starmer you are a national disgrace. The country has had enough of your pathetic leadership and obsession with keeping the minorities and parasites on side. Do us all a favour, resign and call a general election immediately.
The US/Israeli attack on Iran and the widening hostilities in the region are exposing the growing scandal that is Britain’s military capabilities, or lack thereof. We are still in the world’s top 5/6 on defence spending yet:
We don’t have a single warship in the whole of the Mediterranean, despite the eastern Mediterranean becoming part of the theatre of war.
We don’t have a single warship in the Gulf. We have a naval base in Bahrain. But a base with no ships.
We don’t have any subs to deploy. The one active Astute Class sub is in Oz.
We have a handful of fighter jets in Cyprus.
And a smaller handful in Qatar (attached to Qatari airforce).
That’s it. Most of what’s left of the Navy — not even in the top 30 in the world in terms of warships these days — seems to be in repair/maintenance/renovation. Brilliant MoD planning.
Labour/Tories/LibDems who all had a shot at government these past 16 years need to be held to account.
When Ed Davey says Brit expats in the Gulf should pay for UK protection, exactly what protection does he have in mind that would be worth paying for?
