🚨 TRUMP ABSOLUTELY COOKS THE BBC 🫳🏼🎤
TRUMP: “Who are you with?”
REPORTER: “BBC”
Trump: “The ones that are being sued now for $5 BILLION dollars… You with BBC? They’re another FAKE outfit!”
“BBC, you mean the ones that put AI in my mouth? The ones that added me to saying a statement that they now admit was not true? The ones that put terrible words in my mouth and then had to admit that it was fake?”

@PolitlcsUK Ooh will they hoover up some of the Reform votes?
English

Reform UK told the BBC that he paid in cash for his £1.4m house in Surrey with his “I’m a Celebrity” fee from ITV and not with the £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne - which Farage says was to provide him with security (physical, not financial). But the ITV “Celeb” fee was £1.5m, which would be £825,000 after tax, for a top-rate taxpayer like Farage. That’s £575,000 less than the price of the house.
And even if the fee was paid into his “Thorn in the side” media company rather than directly to him, it would still be taxable, one way or another

@DaveKent101 Does he have to stand down to run, or simply resign if/when he wins
English

So Andy Burnham is going for the ‘safe’ Labour seat of Makefield to challenge Starmer.
Projections show that he will lose the seat to Reform.
He would also run the risk of losing the vacant Mayor GM post to Reform as well if he stands down to run as an MP.
Andy Burnham - delusions of grandeur.

“Disastrous for our politics with no economic benefit”.
Michael Gove schools a pro-EU questioner and audience on #bbcqt as to why Labour’s pre-election lies about respecting Brexit and their actions since, threaten to undermine, rather than help our economy.
