Lisa Nandy is not happy with the Gaza documentary, Glastonbury, or Gregg Wallace But not at all upset with the constant platforming of Farage or Reform, much more disproportionately to say the Greens who have the same number of MPs or the LibDems who have so many more

I’m growing less and less patient with Lisa Nandy and editors who seem quite happy - for their own commercial reasons - to let politicians swan around as if THEY run the BBC. They do not. Tanks and lawns spring to mind.

People say the UK can’t be like Norway 🇳🇴 because of “population size.” The truth is, Britain’s real problem isn’t size. It’s obedience. 🧵

If the BBC is serious about looking into & signposting the connections of every contributor, shouldn’t we also be told when an Israeli guest has served in the military? If the BBC is serious about including all relevant context, shouldn’t any mention of Netanyahu include 1/2

BBC needs a clear out of Boris Johnson’s extreme right wing political appointees who control the BBC and platform Farage and Reform ahead of any other party

I am loath to criticise my former BBC colleagues and I’m aware they weren’t in on the story. But the idea of a TV presenter losing his job being the top story on the website as opposed to Parliament being kept in the dark for two years about the Afghan data leak is risible.

Spot on. And not just the Beeb - Nigel Farage MP gets a very easy ride because he is treated as fellow commentator and fellow mainstream media critic of main parties. Never gets challenged on his Brexit role. Rarely on actual policy. Well said Ed Davey

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

My generation was taught Nazism was the greatest evil; and it was; and colonial crimes should've not been omitted. Today, a state starving millions/shooting children for sport, shielded by democracies & dictators alike, is the new abyss of cruelty. How will we survive this??

Anyone can see that Nigel Farage is doing a great job, once you realise that his real job is not to be an MP, but to stir up as much hatred and division as possible to keep his personal grift going.
