Exactly. Fight fascism by acknowledging and addressing people’s fears, stop trying to truth-bomb them into changing their minds. Very much worth listening to Fiona Hill’s @BBCRadio4 Reith Lecture on the “Freedom From Fear”: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

The absolute state of this. Our NHS, degraded & broken by 14 years of underfunding & understaffing. Unforgivable suffering for patients & staff 😔

If I could have one media-based wish, it would be for news outlets to stop emotional reporting. 'Tragically..' 'One family will not be welcoming him home..' etc. We KNOW it's sad. Tell us the facts, we don't need cry-emoji sad-face.
The Voter ID debacle keeps getting worse, as one voter reports being turned away from a polling station because his newly-grown beard didn't match with his ID bylinetimes.com/2024/05/03/tur…
The English are swimming in shit, literally. My last film from Whitstable about Britain's scandalous water privatisation now with English subtitles. Met some fabulous ppl there who have enough and some who boycott their bills. @SOSWhitstable youtu.be/0VETQzj8bEM?si… via @YouTube
The @Conservatives are taking an absolute beating, and they quite frankly deserve it after the past 14 years of governance, deceit, and disrespect towards the British people. If you want to hold onto power, you need to never forget who gave it to you in the first place.
Boris Johnson said in 2004 that he would eat his ID at a polling station in protest if the law ever required it. In 2022, he passed a law requiring ID to vote and dismissed criticism it would stop people voting. In 2024, he forgot his ID when trying to vote and was turned away.
Sensational line from Sky News on Boris Johnson being turned away today for not bringing acceptable photo ID: “Polling station staff were forced to turn the former prime minister after he initially failed to comply with legislation he introduced while he was in Downing Street.”
Excellent, nuanced column by Ed Luce on the US student protests: "It would be far more worrying if the young were indifferent to the deaths of thousands of children, some of them at the hands of US-supplied munitions." ft.com/content/198902…
I simply don't get why the Tories didn't field a serious candidate for London Mayor. Surely they haven't completely got rid of all the sensible folk and have one in a cupboard somewhere they could wheel out again. The candidate they put up is just... just... inexplicably bad

I have always refrained from commenting about the BBC Local Radio cuts, apart from in my former role as an NUJ rep. However, I no longer work for the BBC….. I joined the BBC in 1994 with a promise to tell the truth and be unbiased. Now I can tell the truth. (to be continued)

@steveparks especially when they're also the ones running their healthcare plans and keeping them poor with bad salaries too. totally corporatist leaving all the power in the hands of bosses. really bad stuff.
Terrible decision by @LBC @LBCNews. @SangitaMyska is an exceptional broadcaster and journalist and her programme was a must listen. As for the optics of today’s announcement, it’s hard to imagine any explanations that speak well for those in charge

Response to US student protests is bizarre. Students protest! Every generation! Yes, they get some things wrong: they are young. But quite often - Vietnam, Iraq - they are more right than their snarky older critics.
@steveparks Yup. Whenever digital public services fail like this you do wonder if it’s not just an easy way to rake in more £££££

Hi again Stefan. This private company now has 2 separate websites, 3 trading names, a spokesperson at a Dubai-funded thinktank, and lots of paid advertising. All trained on 1 UK charity. That’s what’s worrying. But our members remain a fantastic bunch, and I remain unscared.
