Fact is the fulcrum of balanced reporting. A lie does not need balance by journalists, it needs correction. With lies, there is no balance.
It's like Tory ministers have cruelty competitions. Today's contender: Robert Jenrick, who ordered cartoon murals to be painted over in a welcoming centre for child immigrants because "it was too welcoming" Never vote for these fucking monsters.

Wasn't Jeremy Hunt Health Secretary for a long time before the pandemic? Or did I hallucinate that? 🤔

I love how Tory ministers keep insisting that "nothing untoward happened" because they're totally fine with being unethical. They really don't think they do anything wrong.

Annoyed that today is a Bank Holiday and I can't get the next two volumes of #Heartstopper ❤️❤️❤️🐶❤️ from @winstonebooks (the indie bookshop here). I could go to a chain, but I'm not going to. Even though they have them. And I want books 3&4 sooo badly. 😭

Are there any Johnson appointees that HAVEN'T resigned for ethical breaches?

Why is it "travel chaos" not just "travel delays"? What's chaotic about it?

As Boris Johnson tells MPs it was absolutely "essential" for him to hold repeated drinks events and leaving parties during lockdown, here's a reminder of what he wrote to a seven-year-old girl about cancelling her own birthday party during that time.

"Hand on heart" would be more compelling if there was evidence of a heart.

Between Truss and Dorries, the Conservative clown car is definitely driving in fantasy land this week.

This is blatant voter suppression but it's only one part of the anti-democratic wave rolling across the UK, which also includes the open corruption of democratic processes in the Labour Party (e.g. excluding all left candidates) and the media's complicity in refusing to report it
Long-awaited details of the government’s voter ID scheme have now been released, including details of which IDs will be accepted at the polling station. The list contains plenty of options for older voters, but few for younger voters. electoral-reform.org.uk/vote…

We can understand that debt bondage is an aspect of modern slavery, yet somehow we think loans to nations to deal with the climate crisis is fair? (Especially given that we gained the rewards of an industrial revolution paid for by colonising them, accelerating climate crisis.)
