Zia Yusuf criticised after appearance on Laura Kuenssberg

Richard Summerscales19

Shame Laura couldn’t have done a sicky and let Victoria stand in

Dave Hargreaves16

Why isn't the £5million the only question, asked and asked again until someone from Reforn actually answers it?

Steve1London12

That woman is pathetic but has moved on from just swooning at and noshing off Johnson to full on fascist enabler. Her parents must be so proud

Griffin7

Laura Kuenssberg - from Tory shill to reform shill. Yusuf is not even an MP FFS. And meanwhile the BBC are busy hounding Victoria Derbyshire - one of the few who will hold anybody and everybody to account...

Pete5

Give her a plum job on Times radio like Jo Coburn got for her services. Wonder how many of the mugs watching think she's a unbiased journalist Nige? Triples and beach houses all round.

Jocky Wulsin 🌹4

Imagine that fucking clown getting anywhere near power in WM!

Rob Judge4

Indeed “Nigel” We see you hiding in plain sight with the friendly interviewers … we could indicate “journalists”, but that would imply asking pertinent questions in the search for truth & transparency. In short, presenters like Kuenssberg & Mason only look insightful when challenging one spectrum

ralphfarrugia.bsky.social2

I wanted elected politicians interviewed on my political programmes. Is that too much to ask? Mohammed Zia Yusuf can be on that joke panel like Mogg or Lycett, that’s enough thanks.

Noel16

Farage himself is the unelected leader of his party.

vibedancer.bsky.social8

But, but, but he's the 'Shadow Home Secretary' If we can all have imaginary jobs, what's yours?

davidperrett.bsky.social7

He's never off the air. Why can't they use someone elected like 30p Lee to be their spokesperson...Ah.

Gary Rawnsley3

And Reform having three MPs who were not elected on Reform platforms. Their constituents are not being represented according to their wish at the last election

Lauren McCann2

I’m puzzled as to how Zia Yusuf can be Reform’s Home Affairs spokesperson when he’s not been elected, especially in light of Nigel Farage’s previous comments about unelected officials.

sapiens365.bsky.social2

& many of you Reform MP's lack the competency or commitment for the positions you hold....

theultimatefarce.bsky.social9

I'll give him this; I do feel pure cold rage... towards a grifting scumbag who ignores a grieving family's public request not to racialism this abhorrent murder, and tries to gain political capital by inciting (deniably ofc but it doesn't take a genius to work it out) race riots. 😡😡😡

ralphfarrugia.bsky.social7

That cunt will never be trusted to babysit let alone be prime minister. He’s had his Ratner moment

sapiens365.bsky.social6

He was inciting a particular , focussed rage, the rage of the White Supremacists. He was calling them to war. It has nothing to do with how the country feels.

Foreversideways6

Farage and PM, two words that should never be used in the same sentence.

Someoneelse-fella🇺🇦🇪🇺🇳🇱5

The problem with our democracies is that the likes of Farage and their parties undermine democracy, act against the interest of the country with their devisive talk are allowed in politics. If the majority wants them gone that is democracy as well. A minority of biggots is not more important

Julie 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏴‍☠️ 🏳️‍🌈 Montoya4

President Murdoch wants a PM he can wrap well and truly around his grubby little finger.

andycordy.bsky.social4

Incitement to violent action is what that it.

carlosamammal.bsky.social3

I'm sure Nigel would be OK if it turned out people had ' pure, cold rage' towards him and his fascist shit fuckers! Surely he'd support that? Or, is it only Nazis allowed to do that? Burn these fuckers like it's 1944!

robertjeff57-58.bsky.social2

He chose his words well To get a reaction from the far right of reform Who use violence to make their point

Vambo Marble Eye2

It was clear incitement and he should be being investigated under the Public Order Act 1986.

Marlowe_UK14

As are journalists at the BBC and SKY who gleefully repeat the Two Tier Policing lie as if it had any merit whatsoever.

Catio Miles10

Laura K had the Farage representative for 10 minutes on her show and not a single time has asked him about the far right riots that followed Farage statement.

Marty1981 (uk)10

Something needs to be done of the interviewers. Trevor Philips either deliberately spread misinformation or it was sheer ignorance. I suspect the former. The government has to get a grip of the state of the media. Online and on tv

Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face8

Keep asking about his £5 million bribe, and the newly reported $1 million bribe that both Farage and Johnson received. Kick corruption out of Parliament.

Dorothy Lepkowska6

Oh, please! You might as well ask them to apologise. "Ashamed"?. Find a more damning word that properly sums them up. Or better still, use any mechanisms available to parliamentarians to call this out and punish it.

Big Cheese5

Politicians, especially right wing politicians, have no shame these days. They are beyond shame. Shame, as a concept does not even exist for them.

mejasonandsi.bsky.social5

They should be jailed because that is what would happen to the rest of us. Since when did politicians place themselves above the law?

Gytha Ogg4

Can we change ‘ashamed’ to ‘arrested and tried for incitement’?

victoria1921.bsky.social3

For me, a united parliament against Farage's sickening response was an overdue, welcome sight. Good to see and hear. The truly disgusting, if inevitable performance from Farage (who deliberately disrespected the wishes of a grieving family) was clearly offensive to all MPs - other than Farage's.

George Hotchkiss3

I agree and the MSM go along with it and promote it.

notrob 🇺🇦3

Farage, ashamed? Good one. He should be removed from Parliament and banned for life from public office This behaviour must have consequences.

Sir Garfield De Umfreville, Baronet Bywell2

If he isn’t repeatedly pulled up for this it will only embolden him to go further and further.

scotfi1.bsky.social26

Genuine question, why has he not been selected for Makerfield? If they're so desperate for him to be part of their 'shadow cabinet ' why doesn't he have the guts to stand in an election?

Free Speech For Peace3

Why is Reform allowed to act differently to other political parties? It is a private company, and people like Yusuf buy their way in.

happy little space bunny2

The scourge of Brexo-Trumpism, sadly, will probably be with us for a while, but I do think that Reform are looking a spent force now they find themselves between the Tories and Elon Musk. It gives me some joy to think that Yusuf may have blown his £200K on the wrong donkey.

John oder Seán7

Sunday Morning tip of the day.. Do as I do, switch to the other BBC channel prior to 9am and you avoid watching the Right Wing Promotion show provided by the BBC 👍

Karl6

They are a British version of trump fascism greed and treason, leftovers of the most corrupt, treacherous government this country ever had

Lucy Abbotts 5

I hope he gets a tongue-lashing akin to that dished out to Michael Gove on HIGNFY (it was actually a series of never-ending barbs). What is the BBC doing reanimating all these utter charlatans?

Jeff3

The bbc have dug him up have they? Ffs. 😬

Gillian Rodgers2

I’ve switched off. I’m not ready not sure if I ever will be.

Tom Dollar2

I think the bbc has contracted out their sunday morning programming to gb news.

Kevin Thurston8

Why platform this unelected cunt Laura?

Patrick8

A pure distillation of weaselly estate agent, dodgy solicitor and car showroom salesman.

Dave Hargreaves6

How did she let him get away with such a disingenuous answer not once but twice! She is either the worst journalist ever or a rightwing propagandist pretending to be a journalist. She isn't a Jeremy Paxman thats for sure.

Lorna the Sloven5

And it's been relentless: tweet after tweet after tweet.

Paul Russell5

I think they also wanted us to argue about it so much, Sir Michael, that no one can remember who Henry was or what really happened to him.

Andrew Brook5

Notice how he treats Keunberg with respect, compared to the insulting way he refused to engage with Cathy Newman.

Puffi Station One4

What's more important to you, Kuenssberg, operating as a decent and sensible journalist presenter with standards, or behaving like a gutter level, hate stirring, GB news hack?

Ellie2

As much as I love to comply with your wishes, Sir, that man creeps me out. Big time. If I met him in the street I'd scream and have a panic attack for a couple of years. I also apologise to David Icke for laughing at his lizardmen theory. 👾

I can confirm that the family would have wanted racist rioting if only the had the chance to properly consult with Reform leadership

Mike Freeman2

The thing is you cannot reason with a complete arse wipe of a tosser and that is what Yusuf and his Reform chums are!!

Andy Martell2

Here’s the #BBC “respecting” the wishes of the Nowak family… again #FuckTheBBC bsky.app/profile/impl...

plasticscouser.bsky.social4

BBC like a little lap dog is platforming Far Right Rage and his racist band of Nazis

tanders24.bsky.social4

I no longer watch BBC News or political output and really resent my licence fee being used to pay for woeful journalists like Kuennberg

Kunikos3

Imagine a career built on toadying to dishonest narcissists.

hornist24.bsky.social3

Robbie Gibb. "He who must be obeyed." BBC is akin to Daily Mail TV now. As they admitted to me on complaining about its right wing bias, they now gear programmes with Farage's ReformUK company voters in mind. Not even pretending any more, yet Lisa Nandy sits on her hands doing nothing.

gevans0123.bsky.social3

This. Exactly. They always peddle Yusuf out as the mouthpiece. The thinking is that as an unelected gobshite he can get away with more.

falconer59.bsky.social2

Where are the campaigners on death in custody who actually have knowledge on this. Oh facts are not a BBC thing now

Niall Huggan3

That's the plan. The BBC no longer aims to Inform & Educate, but instead to Misinform & Manipulate.
