Lee Anderson, the 30p chef/MP has proudly declared on Radio 4 that he is only 'saying what the vast majority of people in this country are thinking'. The ability to conduct national surveys overnight must be one of those strange superpowers that only Tory MPs possess.
The Raynor story is ten years old, and the William Wragg story is just over ten days old, yet newshound Laura K hasn't even mentioned Wragg for the second week running!
SHAME on you, TORY BBC!!! Your crass bias is beyond pathetic. You've become a laughing stock.
At a time when vulnerable families are juggling the heating with eating, Doris Johnson has invited every single Conservative MP to an expensive dinner in Central London next Tuesday. If you want to know who is footing the bill for these overpaid toffs retweet this.
So the BBC wants to swiftly move on from the Sunak's crass departure from France yesterday.
Yey, they spent six weeks obsessing over the Angela Rayner non-story and barely six seconds covering her exoneration.
The current team has irreparably shamed the BBC!
I'm asking for a friend. How much of the £37bn spent on track and trace found its way back into the economy? Where has that money mountain gone - we should be able to see it from the moon.
It's taken Starmer three days to sort out the Labour mess in Rochdale. It took the Tories three years to oust Boris Johnson?
Labor isn't perfect and never will be! But they are preferable to the Tories.
The BBCQT team has to find just four or five panelists a week.
This week they have Rod Liddle who confessed to punching his pregnant girlfriend in 2005. He also said he couldn't take up teaching because he would have ended up 'shagging the kids.'
BBC - this is PITIFUL!
Again, Johnson cuts short his holiday for himself. He wouldn't do that for his country, Ukraine, or his constituents in Uxbridge. It's always about him, and he's way too old to change now. He's just what the UK doesn't need in this darkest of hours.
Can we please stop pretending that Doris got Brexit done? Ministers signed documents they hadn't read and they haven't stopped complaining about it ever since. Brexit is a long way from being completed.
I don't object to Angela Rayner being held to account; what offends me is the silence over Boris Johnson's sudden wealth. Can we see his tax affairs exposed?
How about Ashcroft? Sunak and wife? Daily Fail tax dodger? Then, we can see which story most offends us.
Will Greg Hands be investigated for posting a false video on X claiming that a lifelong Labour voter, Amanda, is actually a Tory Councillor? She said she would be voting Tory for the first time.
The video has been removed in the last few minutes. It's yet another lie.
My very sweet neighbour is 77 and she says 'I don't believe anything unless it's on the BBC or in the Daily Mail'.
She also tells me that everyone should vote Tory because poor Boris almost died in getting us safely through the pandemic. HELP!!!
BBC News gave 10 secs to report the marches of 'Enough is Enough' and mentioned just three cities. I think the number of marches was far more. 50? The Post Office strike was described by one of its bosses as "reckless". So tired of paying for partial BBC News.
Forget National Service. Nobody should become an MP without having worked for at least one year in low-paid employment through a national temp agency. Try working a 12-hour shift in a care home or a factory and see how different the world looks.
Jonathan Gullis claims that Labour can't win the next election because nobody knows what they stand for.
The Tories definitely won't win the next GE because we all know exactly what they stand for.
A spokesperson for the Speaker said he "ran out of time" to call Ms Abbott today.
What a 5-star coward and a liar.
If he didn't know how important it was for Ms Abbott to speak today, he is an utterly useless Speaker.
Sorry for calling Hoyle a useless coward and a liar.
How could Boris Johnson stay in London and represent constituents in Derbyshire? Allowing him to even run shows a weakness in our democracy. Surely voters in Derbyshire deserve better than this. He deserves to be voted out of office wherever he stands.
You don't have to tell me that Labour isn't perfect. I'm not a Labour supporter nor am I a leftie.
However, I will vote tactically to ensure that the likes of Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and Badenough never again get to even look at the levers of political power.
The UK is in a deep crisis. Should we ask the better off to pay a little more (Labour) or take from the poor (Tory)?
Even as a moderately paid teacher, I favoured paying higher taxes so that pensioners and those who can't work would be comfortable. Am I wrong?
#politicslive
Can I suggest that if Angela Rayner is cleared of wrongdoing, the BBC spends as long on asking why the Abba Party during Lockdown was dropped.
There isn't a dentist within 60 miles of Bognor Regis taking new NHS patients.
PLEASE remember this the next time you think of voting Tory.
We have been lied to about everything from Brexit to the NHS. No wonder natural rights of protest are being outlawed.
Legal Aid is not available to anyone earning over £40k per annum. So, would someone care to explain how Johnson got his legal fees paid for when Raab didn't?
Here's a challenge for all those who still support the beleaguered Johnson. Please tell me why he missed the first five COBRA meetings. We have never been told.
As PM, there is surely a diary of his daily events, please tell us where he was. I'll wait.
The BBC's former political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, says it is 'quite a charge' to call Boris Johnson a liar.
She could have stayed silent, but she didn't.
She immediately drew her BBC sword in defence of the 'oven ready' king of three-word policies.
In the UK, the chancellor has just announced a series of stringent economic measures, including tax hikes, as forecasters predict the biggest drop in British living standards since records began.
Well done, Tories. That's another fine mess you've created.
The government needs to explain why our average energy costs are almost seven times higher than they are in Poland.
Can journalists around the board please ask every Tory MP they interview this key question?
Boris Johnson's phone hasn't been handed over, he is in contempt of court, and the BBC doesn't think this is a news story? I don't want to defund the BBC, but its News sucks!
#RwandaNotInMyName
If we send 200 refugees to Rwanda and get 200 refugees back then this whole exercise has been a complete waste of time to the Tory Fascists who cheer this level of inhumanity. It's a farce that will cost Sunak a million votes.
#ToryCorruption
Take away his power and this is what you're left with - an incompetent, bumbling bum being forensically torn to shreds by an intelligent lawyer.
Why was your phone was missing 5000 WhatsApps?
"It looks as though it's something to do with the app going down and then, um, coming up again. But, somehow, automatically, um, erasing all the things between that date when it down and when it was last backed up."
#CovidInquiry
Brexit happened because Johnson's backers know that creating a fascist govt is easier when the UK is no longer a part of Europe. The benefits of Brexit seem to be for the rich only.
I grew up in extreme poverty under the Etonian McMillan's gov't and went to grammar school under Wilson.
We also had a hospital to treat us within an hour, a GP you could see on the same day, and a dentist who would see you immediately if you had an emergency.
If we refuse to work most of us don't get paid and many are fired.
Why are MPs such as Johnson, Raab, and Hancock still drawing a salary plus expenses and subsidised refreshments from the public purse? Can we see their timesheets?
If you can't provide the proof, you're not telling the truth!
So where was the proof of Angela Rayner's so-called tax dodge, Mr Daly? Of course, you're not big enough to apologise or CONcede you were merely muckraking.
After 14 years of lies, we've all had enough!!!
Ms Braverman said the Nazi comparison used by Lineker was "lazy and unhelpful".
So how would the Home Secretary characterise her description of opponents as 'the Guardian-reading, tofu eating, wokerati'.
Rude, infantile, and utterly stupid maybe? You're way ahead, Gary.
Rather than bringing the brainless moron Johnson back into politics, it's high time we found a way to promote people with genuine talent who didn't go to Eton.
There are thousands of kids already far smarter than Johnson could ever dream of being.
Message to our maths-obsessed PM:
If we have taught kids daily maths for 11 years and they still can't get a 'C' at GCSE, it may be time to let them study what they do excel at rather than further demoralising them.
That's what logical teachers try to do.
Did I miss something?
Has Boris Johnson ever been nominated for a writing award? What has he achieved as a politician? He has been fired enough times. He may be overweight, but he's no political heavyweight.
I can only see a narcissistic sociopath. What do you see?
What people need to recognise about Sunak is that he is NOT an intellectual. Fraction Man loves maths. He understands markets and making money, but little else.
He cannot comprehend even basic politics, philosophy, psychology, or sociology. He's a subjectivist/emotivist.
This uncouth, rabid Johnson loyalist has been recommended to be a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. When is the King going to object to honouring these charlatans?
Would it shake our democracy to the core if we allowed MPs to call each other liars in the House?
We are, after all, being dragged towards a post-truth society by people like Johnson and Cleverly, who combust when anyone calls out their obvious lies. PMQs is a weekly lie-fest.
The BBC's former political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, believes it is 'quite a charge' to call Boris Johnson a liar.
She could have stayed silent, but she didn't.
Did she study journalism somewhere in the Enchanted Forest with Fiona Bruce?
@implausibleblog
I'm five years older than Carol and she is spot-on - there has NEVER been anywhere near this level of blatant corruption. Johnson lied outlandishly almost every day and got away with it. Carol doesn't have to be an MP to have a voice. She has already shown that.
If you're listening Tories, here's your problems in a nutshell:
After 14 years of lies, blaming others for your failures, and trashing everything you've touched, we can no longer believe anything you say.
Johnson, Truss, and Sunak - lies, lies, and even more grotesque lies!
Johnson probably lied every day throughout his career. He is an appalling public speaker. He raised two fingers to those of us in lockdown, especially those in nursing homes. He knows nothing about economics. And if you think he would share a beer with you, you're deluded.
#bbcqt
I hope Sunak isn't counting on too many votes from the millions of self-employed.
We were forgotten about during the pandemic while the morons partied in Drowning St.
Why is OFCOM afraid to challenge GB News and its practice of having serving MPs as presenters?
Apparently, GB News isn't a news channel even though its raison d'etre is to discuss the news with an extreme right-wing bias.
Who is in charge of OFCOM?
Throughout Lockdown, EVERYONE was expected to comply with new laws. Those who broke the law and were caught were immediately fined.
So why is Johnson allowed to blame those who poorly advised him? He read out the rules from a podium! If he didn't understand them...
BBC PM News programme. 'Tried hard to get a Tory to speak about Dominic Raab today, but nobody would speak to us.'
Chris Mason: 'That's because they knew he would speak up for himself.'
GEEZ!!!! Give up the pretence, BBC. You are NOT impartial. Abysmal journalism!!!
I met a Boris Johnson fan this afternoon who said Boris was 'funny', but couldn't give me one example.
If Boris Johnson NEVER made you laugh, please r/t.
If he did, what did he say or do? Was it worth damaging our entire political system for?
What has happened to BBCQT? Rod Liddle and Houchen plants in the audience, waiting to be randomly asked to chirp his praises.
Why wasn't Houchen on the panel?
Does anyone else get the feeling that Tory MPs aren't robust enough to take legitimate criticism?
Think about this for a second: what does Barclay know about health? Keegan about education? Is it not possible that health and education experts might know more?
The Tiverton by-election was the biggest swing towards an opposition party in modern history, last night when I tried to follow the results on the BBC from NYC there was nothing on the BBC website. Disgraceful bias. I used to be a proud BBC loyalist. Not now.
Starmer is no more a cloth cap, ragged-trousered socialist than Blair was. But while I disliked Blair's champagne 'socialism', pensioners were better off, we had an NHS, we could get a doctor's appt within two days, and we had NHS dentists. If we vote Tory again, we are done!
BBC Radio 5 caller:
'I love Boris to bits...he was magnificent throughout the pandemic...positively Churchillian in his approach...I've seen no evidence of wrongdoing on his part'.
Nicky Campbell offered no challenge to her.
If we can't trace the COVID money, then the Tories should be barred from office until they account for it.
You cannot run for office on the basis of 'total incompetence'. Who did you pay and what did we get for that money? Who pays for unusable products?
The truth about Boris Johnson is that he cares more about himself than anyone else. He's a muddled and faltering speaker, lacking political nous and originality. As a writer, he's a C+ hack, and he has zero leadership skills.
Political achievements and writing awards? 0!
HELP!!!!
If you think Camilla Tominey is too often on the BBC, please repost and I will screenshot this info in my ongoing complaint on r/w bias to the BBC and OFCOM.
We MUST keep protesting to right this wrong.
No matter who wins the next GE, we have to stop MPs from having extra-parliamentary business interests and other jobs. They are paid three times as much as teachers and nurses, presumably because their work is taxing. But it can't be if they have time to take other paid work.
The reason I call the Tories the Nasty Party Party is simple.
I want to remind people how Tory MPs and newspapers lied to us all during Partygate. They put themselves and their party before the Nation. Sorry if you don't like it, but I won't change my view.
Nick Robinson R4 sunk to a new low this morning:
Govts never win by-elections
Low turnout
Electorate giving govt a warning
Starmer clearly isn't liked...blah...blah
Whatever that report was this morning, Robinson, it was NOT impartial, truthful, or factual.
What on earth was the Kuenssberg article on the BBC website trying to do last night?
She claimed that the London race was 'much much tighter' than people expect. Was it just one last spiteful dig at Khan, hoping he wouldn't sleep well? It was baseless, fatuous journalism.
Bim Afolami told LBC's Andrew Marr this evening that the Conservatives would "continue along the track" of cutting taxes, and eventually want to disband National Insurance altogether.
So where will the funding for 48 new hospitals come from?
Brexit benefits? Here's three:
It's now easier to deregulate and put profits before people.
It's now easier for all media platforms to lie to you.
It's now easier to launder money in the UK.
The EU has much stricter rules on all of the above. Feel free to add your own.
Utter twaddle! Johnson doesn't have it in him to be great at anything. He royally messed up everything he touched long before he met his current wife. He lacks class and intelligence.
