Welcome to Liverpool, she says. The best city in the world. Then she goes back to the thing she actually does for a living: telling the country that paid her that its government is complicit in genocide, that protest groups banned under terror law are the real victims, and that Macklemore saying “Free Palestine” is the hill worth dying on. You do not represent a city. You represent a cause. The city is the backdrop.

This woman appears on your television three or four times a week. She sits on the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 panels as a neutral political editor explaining British politics to you. She is presented to you as a journalist. She is given a platform to call working class British people thugs. She is trusted to tell you what is real and what is sensationalized. Her name is Ava Santina. She is the Politics Editor of PoliticsJOE. Here is everything they hoped you would never know about what she has actually said, what she has actually defended, and what she actually thinks of you and the people you care about. We are going to go through it one by one. And by the time you finish reading this, you will never be able to unsee it. Stay with us. Every word is sourced. Every quote is on tape. THE NIGHT DANNY TOMMO WAS LOCKED UP On 25 September 2026, Danny Tommo, a father of four with another child on the way, was remanded in custody at Basingstoke Magistrates Court after pleading not guilty to criminal damage charges following footage of him slashing a migrant dinghy in the English Channel. A man who agreed to an electronic tag, a curfew, and a two mile exclusion from the coastline was still denied bail. That same night, while his supporters stood outside Basingstoke Police Station chanting for his release, while Siobhan White, the mother of Rian White, brutally stabbed 23 times by an illegal migrant who had failed immigration processes in two separate European countries, was preparing to speak to the nation, Ava Santina sat in a BBC studio and told the country that the small boats crisis was, in her words, sensationalized beyond parody. She said the coverage is blasted across social media constantly. She said people are making their content more and more frightening so more people watch it and they're still making bank. She said the people who turned up outside that police station to stand for a man they believe is being politically persecuted were, and this is her exact word, thugs. Then, to prove her credentials, she told the panel she had lived next to an asylum seeker hotel for a number of years. As if that settles it. As if proximity to the problem makes the problem disappear. Siobhan White's daughter Rian is dead. Stabbed 23 times. And Ava Santina went on the BBC and told Britain it is all being sensationalized. That would be damning enough. But it is not where this story begins. THE TRANSCRIPT THAT SHOULD END HER CAREER On 14 March 2023, Eleanor Williams was sentenced to eight and a half years at Preston Crown Court. She was a convicted perjurer who had fabricated rape allegations against multiple innocent men. She had bought a hammer and used it to beat herself to fabricate injuries. She had sent herself fake threatening messages. She had constructed an elaborate fantasy of abuse, trafficking, and rape that destroyed the lives of innocent people. One of her victims was Jordan Trengove. He was eighteen years old when he met Williams. He spent ten weeks in prison on remand for crimes he did not commit. He had the word RAPIST graffitied across his house. He moved away from the area he grew up in. He attempted suicide in front of his own mother. He was told by his solicitor that if convicted, he faced twenty two years in prison. On the day Williams was sentenced, Ava Santina went on Piers Morgan Uncensored to discuss the case. She did not condemn Williams. She did not acknowledge the devastation visited on innocent men. She did not celebrate justice for Jordan Trengove. She defended the false accuser. These are her exact words: "I actually don't even think she should be going to prison. I think she should be sectioned. I think she's not well and I actually don't think prison is a safe environment for her." Piers Morgan challenged her immediately. He said: "If this guy had been convicted of what he'd been accused of, you'd have called him a monster, you wouldn't make some excuse about his mental health." He was right. And Ava Santina proved it with her own words. She admitted: "If he was convicted and the justice system had convicted him, yes I'd have been quite happy." Read that again. She would have been quite happy if an eighteen year old boy had been sent to prison for twenty two years for crimes he did not commit based on a pack of fabricated lies. But the woman who fabricated those lies, who beat herself with a hammer, who nearly killed that teenager? She should be sectioned. She should be protected. She should not face prison. And then came the line that tells you everything about who Ava Santina really is. When Morgan pressed her on whether she even cared about Williams' welfare in custody, she said: "I don't really care if it's a safe environment for her frankly." So to be absolutely clear. She does not care if the false accuser is comfortable. But she does not want her punished. The innocent men whose lives she destroyed? She would be quite happy with twenty two years. The woman who fabricated the evidence to destroy them? Not prison. Never prison. This is the woman the BBC trusts to explain justice to you. THE MALE SUICIDE DISMISSAL Six months after the Eleanor Williams broadcast, in September 2023, Santina appeared on BBC Politics Live alongside comedian Geoff Norcott to discuss male mental health and the calls for a dedicated Minister for Men. Norcott raised the fact that suicide is the single greatest cause of death among young men in Britain. A fact. A documented, devastating, undeniable fact. Santina's response was to call the entire conversation culture war. She said: "I feel like it feeds into the culture a little bit, this Minister for Men argument. I think a lot of ministers bandy this about to make an enemy of women." The greatest killer of young men in this country. Weaponised by ministers to make an enemy of women. That is what she said on national television while young men are dying. The backlash was immediate and fierce. And then came the retraction. She posted on X: "I was a little rash on my anti-minister for men comments which I do regret." Not a correction. Not an apology. Rash. As if the dismissal of a national male suicide crisis was simply a matter of poor timing. THE MOST COMPLAINED ABOUT BROADCAST IN BRITAIN The same week, GB News ran a segment discussing her BBC appearance. The on screen graphic labelled her, in their exact words, hard left commentator and smirking face of disdain. The segment generated 8,867 Ofcom complaints. The most complained about broadcast in British television in the entire year of 2023. Let that number settle. 8,867 people picked up their phones or opened their laptops and made a formal complaint to the regulator. Not about what was said about her. About the entire broadcast in which she was the subject. Her response was not to reflect. Her response was to go to the media and demand Ofcom take action against the channel. She told the Daily Mail: because otherwise new channels will think they can do as they like. She tried to use the state regulator to destroy a competitor broadcaster. She wanted the machinery of government turned on a channel that criticized her. She also told the Daily Mail: "I fear for my safety and am questioning whether I can carry on with my job." A political editor who questions whether she can continue because people criticized what she said on national television. A journalist who cannot survive the scrutiny she applies daily to everyone else. THE WALK OFF On a subsequent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, debating with influencer Sintish, known online as Based and Bougie, Santina could not hold her position under challenge. She walked off the set. Left the studio. Mid debate. Sintish described her behaviour as demonic. The video exists and has been widely shared. This is the journalist who calls working class protesters thugs from the safety of a BBC studio. This is the journalist who cannot remain seated when challenged by someone who disagrees with her. THE PATTERN IS UNDENIABLE Let us now put it together plainly because it needs to be said plainly. She defended a convicted false rape accuser who destroyed men's lives and said she should not go to prison. She admitted on camera she would be quite happy if an innocent man received a twenty two year sentence based on fabricated allegations. She dismissed the male suicide crisis as culture war before quietly retracting when the public turned on her. She appeared on national television the night a British father of four was remanded in custody and called his supporters thugs while boasting about her proximity to an asylum hotel. She called the small boats crisis sensationalized while Siobhan White, whose daughter was stabbed twenty three times by a man who should never have been in this country, was preparing to tell her story to the nation. She generated 8,867 Ofcom complaints in a single broadcast. She used her media platform to try to weaponise the state regulator against a competitor outlet. She walked off a live television debate when challenged. She told Britain she was questioning whether she could continue her job when people criticized the things she said publicly. She is not a journalist. She is an ideological activist who has been handed a mainstream platform and uses it to dismiss the suffering of men, to defend the indefensible, and to call anyone who disagrees with her a thug. And the BBC keeps inviting her back. WHO SHE REALLY IS She came up as a producer on James O'Brien's show at LBC. The most divisive, the most partisan, the most relentlessly one sided programme in British talk radio. She learned her craft in that echo chamber and she has never left it. She moved to PoliticsJOE, a digital outlet that describes its mission as rebuilding the left. Not reporting politics. Rebuilding the left. That is the organisation whose politics editor sits on your television and tells you she is explaining the news. She tweets with the confidence of someone who has never had to answer for anything. Her Instagram bio quotes a piece of hostile mail as if it is a badge of honour. She frames every challenge as persecution. She frames every critic as a thug. She frames every working class person who is frightened about what is happening to their country as a sensationalist, a money maker, a bigot. Meanwhile Rian White is dead. Jordan Trengove nearly killed himself. And Danny Tommo sits in a cell while she sits in a BBC studio. THE FULL PICTURE She thinks false rape accusers should be sectioned, not imprisoned. She thinks innocent men getting twenty two years would make her quite happy. She thinks male suicide is culture war. She thinks your concerns about small boats are sensationalized. She thinks your protests are thuggery. She thinks your journalists are grifters. She thinks your grief is content. She does not think you exist. She thinks you are a problem to be managed by a state that shares her values. And she has been welcomed into every major broadcaster in Britain to tell you so. SHARE THIS NOW.
