There’s something rotten in the state of the BBC’s political reporting. And unless it’s fixed soon, they will bring the catastrophe of Trump to the UK.
This should be one of the top stories. Not a peep on @BBCNews early evening bulletin. Even more sinister there’s no mention anywhere on the BBC News App #GetHarborneOut
The bloke who took £5m from a foreign-based billionaire to use for his own safety concerns is the same man who refused to hold surgeries in his constituency due to concerns for his safety *after* receiving £5m from a foreign-based billionaire to use for his own safety concerns
A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet.
Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire.
It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Textbook example from Ed Balls of an interviewer not listening to the answers:
@ZackPolanski: 'I'm not a party official. I'm the Leader of the party.'
@EdBalls: 'You're not just a party official! You're the Leader of the party.'
@ZackPolanski: 'That's what I just said'. 🤦♂️ #GMB
@FullFact Tldr; yes they did, and it was a lie
They're also lying about net zero, they won't cut your bills they're just serving their masters in oiil/gas industry
It's not in Britain's interest to allow the US to use our bases to start a war, bomb Iran into the Stone Age, drive up oil prices, create a refugee crisis on our doorstep and provoke further hatred of the West.
And don't insult us by calling our anger "noise".
One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
If you say you hate the Iranian government, nobody accuses you of hating the Iranian people. But if you hate the Israeli government, somehow you’re accused of hating all Jews everywhere. How does that work? 🤔
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer on a stunning victory.
Proud to support a campaign built on hope and humanity.
Under our new leadership team, Your Party will work constructively with the Greens, because there is only one way we can bring about real change: together.
