Pure nonsense! The BBC news website had the pound crashing as their main headline last night. The current main headline is about Labour saying the tax cuts benefit the top 1% of the population.

Perhaps you should check it yourself, rather than believe what someone is saying on Twitter? 

He’s not wrong though there isn’t anything on the front page about the pound crashing till you get to the paper section.

I’m sure there was, but there wasn’t when that screen shot was taken and isn’t now.

It's old news, because it happened yesterday. You don't keep the same story up as the main one for days on end (unless it's the Queen!).

It’s the top story on Sky News and they lead with it on their TV channel too. It’s not old news as the pound has crashed and is still like that.

You said the BBC is "propping up the Tories". They led with the story yesterday. Today they are leading with the story about Labour calling out the tax cuts. Can't you ever admit you are wrong?

That guys tweet wasn’t wrong though, your point was about it not being there now and checking it. I did check and that guy was correct.

If it makes you happy, I was wrong.

Re-read my post. I said it was on there last night. I never said it was on there now!

Anyway, I'm off now to compose an email to the BBC, asking why the Titanic sinking isn't on their news website! 😛

You said to not believe someone on Twitter which would indicate that what he’s saying isn’t true, it wasn’t clear you were referencing my comment, apologies.

referenda in Eastern Ukraine over the next few days...I wonder how they'll vote? 🤔

120% in favour and 10% against, just to make it look legit

I wonder if Truss will get a polling bounce?

More policies from Labour.

You’ll face an inescapable choice come the next election either vote for Labour with this very encouraging green agenda or the Tories who want to start fracking again.

they/brexiters would argue it's the control of immigration that is the important thing I guess.
