Let me just give you a quick THREAD of examples to show that the BBC is politically skewed to the Right, so we can all be clear that if GB News is to the right of the BBC, it's going to be RABID.

OK... As the viewers of GB News might say... Let's deal with Nish Kumar first...
1⃣ Why do you think most comedians are left-wing these days?
Comedy doesn't punch down & it attacks the absurd. The Right is in power and it's being led by Trump & Boris!
That makes them the obvious targets.

Of course, @RosieisaHolt explains that better.
2⃣ If a BBC News presenter had said the F-word (a swear word that's offensive to everyone) during a broadcast, can you imagine it taking more 30 seconds for the BBC to issue and apology?
But with the N-word (targets black people) they refused for 2 weeks.
mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bbc…
3⃣ Brexit.
While there may have been left-wing arguments for Brexit, anyone who thinks a Brexit led by Mogg, Boris, and Patel is the start of some woke communist revolution needs to put the weed down.
So the next few tweets explain how the BBC facilitated this Right-Wing project.
The main Brexit mistake was that a basic free trade deal (without shared regulation) would be just as good as the Single Market.
The BBC supported that Brexit misinformation by defining the Single Market as just a free-trade deal (not shared regulations).

I MADE THEM CORRECT IT!
Proof:
When #BBCqt was set in Tory/Brexit England they admitted to Tory-skewing the audience.

But in December (last chance to warn voters their kids would resent them for helping Brexit) the Under-30's (70% remain) episode showed a 50-50 split in young people.

Bias AND misinformation.
The reason why both Leavers and Remainers thought the BBC was biased against them is because since 2017, the BBC has presented it as 50-50.
By making both the successes and failures of Brexit appear 50-50, neither side gets their "wins" reported accurately.
And because Brexit is expertly proven as bad, presenting it as 50-50 is biased.
Just like showing young people as 50-50 was bias.
I know, I already covered that but by skewing a young audience towards Brexit, BBC was effectively hiding an older narrative behind younger faces.

Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?

It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.

It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.

"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.

So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.

Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.Image

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are guilty of the same crime!

I don't know or care if I've already shared this on here.

It's OUTSTANDING.
Whenever I gave talks in schools, with 16/17-year-olds, I'd start by asking them if they cared about politics.

Very few hands would go up.

Then I'd ask if they care about shop prices, jobs after school, NHS treatment.

All the hands went up.

I'd then say "That's all politics".
That was me, until I was much older.

I didn't care about "politics".

I was a black kid born in Darlington, growing up in Dundee and Birmingham.

"Politics" was old, rich, suit-and-tied, white men, shouting at each other hundreds of miles away.

I saw zero connection to my life.
