#PoliticsLive Vicky Young jumps in when Labour MP says Farage does absolute minimum as MP.
'He's not here to defend himself'
Most people criticised, including Andy Burnham, aren't there to 'defend themselves' but that doesn't seem to bother Gibb & McAndrew sidekick Vicky Young!
Entitled groups of feral kids who have no idea about right and wrong, it’s not just football it’s everywhere. #bbcbreakfast
“Mogging” = the gaslighting Jacob Rees does most days on GB News. #bbcbreakfast

This is absolutely insane
We all knew it was biased towards Reform but to see it like this
And yet people accuse Question Time of being “A lefty show”
@bbcquestiontime this is embarrassing I’m afraid
Thanks Don 👍

No one else has appeared as a guest on the show more than Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf since the last general election in 2024.
He is now set for his 8th appearance.
This man is a shadowless, unelected, loudmouth.
Why so much airtime?

Tomorrow, when you see the front pages of the right-wing press telling you how dreadful the budget was, remember their track record.
Also remember that right-wingers won’t ever be happy with any budget that doesn’t push down on those at the bottom to benefit those at the top.
Reform have had 3 days of continuous coverage. Got to ask why are they, as a minority party given such prominence on the BBC? #bbcbreakfast #politicslive #bbclaurak
Well done to Helena Dollimore MP for standing firm against nasty bullying behaviour by Gawain Towler on #politicslive today.
Towler not wearing a poppy??? Where is the outrage from the poppy fascists? #politicslive
Why has #politicslive got someone from the Green Party or LibDems on when discussing energy? Or is it much easier to just reach for the list of regular Reform guests?
Yesterday Jenrick was all over the BBC, today they’ve got Towler on. Why are the BBC obsessed with minority party Reform? #politicslive #bbclaurak.

Just a reminder to all Reform UK members to put your clocks back to 1936 tonight.
Why does McGubbin wear her BBC giant spectacles on her head all the time? #bbcbreakfast
