Nah F*** that.

I've tolerated the Tory bias of the TV debates as Tory members are the voters BUT:

With the huge damage Brexit is ACTUALLY doing, after Leavers said it would make life better...

How F**KING DARE #BBCOurNextPM weaponise Remain exaggerations and ignore Leave lies!
If you put this crap on national TV, you have to maintain basic standard of reality.

Spinning a narrative that Liz Truss was WRONG to support Remain simply because Cameron's crew exaggerated the damage, while official government analysis says it's been worse than Covid, is NUTS!
And what makes it worse is that @faisalislam has done some absolutely outstanding work to show people the damage of Brexit, so he knows the score more than most.
So why were the only Brexit mentions in #BBCOurNextPM:

♦️ Rishi Sunak pretending that backing Brexit was a principled decision for the good of the UK -Unchallenged
♦️ Making Liz Truss look dishonest for ever supporting Remain
♦️ Claiming Brexit isn't harming Dover - Unchallenged
While I see the logic of #BBCOurNextPM using a Tory perspective on an issue that will be decided by Tory members...

That's not a moral decision.

You're simply confirming the warped reality that Tory voters live in, where Brexit is some great success.

It's alternative facts.
In other words:

This didn't need to be aired on TV. It could've been a private link sent to Tory members.

The only reason to air it on TV is so the general public can see what these people are like, in the face of the reality we all face.

And on that, #BBCOurNextPM failed.

I'm trying really hard to get a new video project out to you by a reasonable time tonight. I'm hoping it can be out on youtube by 6pm today and twitter by 8pm.

We'll see.
Sorry, it's taking longer. I'm getting tired so I've popped myself in a dessert shop so I can mainline sugar until it's done.

It WILL be out tonight!
If you want an idea of what I'm looking at here...

Dear Brexiteers,

The chaos at Dover is EXACTLY what you told us you wanted.

#BrexitReality

Actually that's not fair.

We chose not to hold up our end on the Brexit border checks because Jacob Rees-Mogg said it would be an "act of self harm".

So actually you told us you wanted WORSE THAN THIS!

And the consequences of the UK NOT doing those checks is that the government might get sued by the ports who already paid to get ready to do them!

#C4LeaderDebate

Liz Truss: Brags about post-Brexit trade deals. But the government figures show the new trade deals are worth 178 times less than what we've lost by damaging trade with the EU.
#C4LeaderDebate

Liz Truss: Defends staying with Boris Johnson because she's "loyal".

So loyalty to Boris Johnson was more important than loyalty to the country?
#C4LeaderDebate

Tom Tugendhat says: I called out Boris Johnson when he was foreign secretary.

But then campaigned to make him prime minister.

The damage Kemi Badenoch would do to the fight against racial inequality, as PM, should worry us all.

You know what?

Boris Johnson isn't dead!
Why are journalists eulogising him like some tragic hero!?

He's the 1st PM to be found guilty of a crime, the UN says he tried to normalise white supremacy, his main policy damaged our economy more than Covid and he helped a sex pest run the party!
THIS is Boris Johnson!
