@PaulbernalUK I am also profoundly disturbed by the nature, means and consequences of this attack by alteration of medical equipment. If it is not already a war crime, then it should be.

It is absurd that Gibb is still at the BBC.
William Dalrymple@DalrympleWill

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website. Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s? Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today. bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/wh…

Prime Minister's Questions: SNP's Pete Wishart asks a question to Keir Starmer. Keir Starmer stands up & says "I remember when there were lots of you, now there are only nine" (to cheering chamber of commons). Keir Starmer sits down again. Indy supporters at the heart of UK Govt

So this is where we're at. The Scottish Govt that MUST deliver a balanced budget & cannot borrow must spend our taxpayers cash mitigating a LABOUR two child cap. Sweet.

George Monbiot - "We should never underestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

“I think we need to reflect on the fact it was Nicola Sturgeon who led the party to eight electoral victories.” - That there is the problem. The SNP saw election wins and power as their raison d'être, not independence. The last 10 years became nothing more than a pantomime against the evil Tories. Playing the plucky loser just isn't going to cut it anymore.

NEW: Ian Blackford has defended both his and Nicola Sturgeon's leadership after fierce criticism from former party politicians in the wake of the General Election. 🗣 “I think we need to reflect on the fact it was Nicola Sturgeon who led the party to eight electoral victories.”

The same Tony who let the City go berserk, who started the disastrous NHS privatisation from within; the war criminal who violated international law & the UN charter - yes, this same Tony is now recommending racism-lite as a bulwark against... racism! theguardian.com/politics/artic…
