I haven't had a chance to watch #bbclaurak yet this morning, but it appears Farage has been allowed to lie his way through another BBC interview, utterly unchecked.

He was NOT told by counterterror police or any other police force, to stay away from the stage at Reform conference.

Just a plain old lie that was fact-checked by West Mids police yesterday afternoon.

Laura Kuenssberg knew this was a lie when she interviewed him but made a decision to allow the lie to pass.

What happened to ethics? Where has the BBC gone wrong?

Shocking.

[Fitzjimi @fitzjimi]

What is going on @BBCNews Angela Raynor paid the wrong stamp duty and you were on her like a dog with bone. Farage is on film accepting massive illegal overseas payments and you look the other way. WHY am I paying a licence fee for this rubbish?

Israel murdered another journalist.

Nobody will even mention it.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.

A video that the world must never forget.

POST OFFICE JAILED AN INNOCENT WOMAN

Imagine. You run a small @PostOffice in Hull. You show up every day, you serve your community, you do the job. Then one day a computer program called Horizon decides you owe £59,000 that never existed. A computer program with a known glitch problem.

Post Office didn't check the software. It just marched Janet Skinner into court in 2007 and got her jailed for 9 months. She served 2 behind bars. She lost her house. She lost her job. She lost her name in the eyes of her own neighbours, all because nobody in a position of power fancied questioning a machine.

Here's where any decent organisation would stop digging the hole ... The Post Office kept digging.

A year after she walked out of prison, they hauled her back into court again, this time chasing her for "proceeds of crime."

Proceeds of a crime she never committed, calculated by a system that couldn't add up in the first place. Bold strategy from the people who broke the calculator in the first place.

Less than two weeks after that fresh nightmare finally ended, Janet's body gave out completely. Neurological collapse. Paralysed from the neck down.

Doctors told her she'd never walk again.

She spent a year in a wheelchair and two years learning to walk. She says her own immune system turned on her. Years of fighting a system that refused to admit fault, and in the end it was her own body that surrendered first.

So how does this story end? With an apology? A cheque that actually matches what she lost? Of course not.

In 2025, after everything, the compensation scheme handed her an offer worth around 15% of her claim.

Janet called it an insult. I'd call it a joke, except nobody's laughing, least of all the people who wrote the offer letter from the comfort of a job that still exists.

9 months in prison for a bug. 2 years in a wheelchair for the stress of proving her innocence. A payout that wouldn't cover the damage to her health, let alone her life. And somewhere, the people who signed off on her prosecution are still drawing a pension.

Nobody who signed off on any of this has lost a house, a job, or a night's sleep. They got promotions. She got a wheelchair and an insulting cheque. Accountability had every chance to show up here and chose not to..

Paula Vennells.
In her 7 year tenure as CEO of the Post Office she waltzed off with £5.1 Mn; around £2.2 Mn coming from performance related incentives and pension in lieu payments.
Yet postmasters/mistresses are still waiting for their compensation.

Whilst I was shocked that my wife’s cancer surgery left us $5,000 out of pocket, the final bill has now come through.

The full cost? $98,524.16

That is the reality of a privatised healthcare system.

To those in the United Kingdom casually attacking the NHS and backing Reform UK Limited’s plans to dismantle it: understand what you are asking for. This is not abstract policy debate. This is what happens when healthcare becomes a market commodity instead of a public service.

Without insurance, that bill would have been ours alone. No safety net. No guarantee of affordability. Just life-altering debt at the worst possible moment.

Be very careful what you wish for !

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

I just don’t have the words anymore to describe the fucked up daily situation that Palestinians have to endure.

If not for these courageous journalists we wouldn’t fucking know even half of what’s gone on!

Israel is the only country in the world that can bomb 9 countries and invade 3 neighboring countries in one year; kill 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days; displace nearly 6 million people in 3 countries; starve 2 million people in Gaza; violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty; kidnap, rape and torture children and women; shoot, imprison and murdering; and still be perceived as the victim.
