Sunak has suggested this is how he will lose fewer seats than his party dreads, in the next election. As he will be using it, from what he said, in every constituency where he can spot one, we could keep a running total or each keep a list of our own and see who comes out ahead.

I'm really not sure how he can run for the title of Nasty Party Leader any more obviously. I'm beginning to think he's had enough and would rather be back at his swimming pool counting his money.

I see the son of the KGB agent - Lebedev has ploughed in supporting Farage.

Has he? Perhaps he is hoping to get some of the confiscated millions quietly transferred into his account, now that NF is obviously in charge of the banks 🤣🤣
Thankfully there are more important people joining the charge and seeing that this is only partially about NF now.

The less than funny point to be made Wwmk2, is that on the basis of this person's nationality you have used guilt by association (do they actually know each other?) To condemn 2 people without saying exactly what you or the writer believe this means.

That is precisely why and how AR and the BBC made their mistake

How do you know that your 'independent news' was telling the truth, as opposed to the BBC, Freya?

I would ask the same question. Freya said: Yes I was very interested, after listening to independant news on Internet,as to how the Harry debacle was shown by the obviously biased beeb yesterday. Non of the real reasons as to why this was thrown out by the Judge, just that he could now sue again.

The wording of this post appears biased to me. That presumably means your source was ultra-biased towards your thinking and away from mine.

How can we know if the source that persuaded you to use the extreme language in your post, was correct? How can I, having read the post, accept your source as a trusted source?

If you are trying to convince others, you need to use a source the majority can trust.

A source that youapprove of DAReturns?

Or are we allowed free choice?

It’s getting more and more difficult to believe anything.Only after it’s been verified by multiple sources can we really begin to think it can be true.

And lots of fact checkers aren't in the least bit independent, as they are in the pay of the very people/companies ect they should be checking!

Good point.

Reuters fact checkers have been found wanting, I'm not sure if they were fined. But they were the gold standard, supposedly.
