    Jeremy Corbyn - an MP for 42 years - has been on #bbcqt 5 times (twice on 'Leader's specials'). Nigel Farage - an MP for less than a year - has been on 38 times. Zarah Sultana - an MP for 6 years - has never been on. Tell me again how @bbcquestiontime is fair and impartial.

    It's a shame that #WhitePrivilege is such a widely misunderstood concept. It does NOT mean you're racist. It does NOT mean your life has been easy. It does NOT mean you don't face struggles too. It means your life isnt made harder by the colour of your skin. That's it.

    Glastonbury and the BBC are inciting murder and terrorist violence against Jewish people. This so-called festival and the taxpayer funded BBC should pull the plug on this shameful event now and hold their heads in utter shame. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/2…

    Britain was a much more equal society before Thatcher than it has been at any time since. In this short THREAD, I just want to try and quickly take stock of what forty years of increasingly deregulated free-market capitalism has actually achieved.

    'I'd make it harder to get British citizenship', says Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch, whose mother travelled from Nigeria to the UK to give birth to her, before returning to Nigeria shortly after, where she lived for 16 years before 'coming over here'.

    Given that after he became Labour leader, Keir Starmer abandoned or significantly modified almost all of his worthless 2020 leadership "pledges", asking if there's ANY belief he truly holds onto is a perfectly valid and entirely sensible question. #PMQs

    He's not a spy. He's not perfect. He's not a racist. He's not Tony Blair. He's not always right. He's not the Messiah. He's not the leader of a cult. He's not a terrorist sympathiser. He's the leader of @UKLabour & he wants to help millions of ordinary people have a better life.
