Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

BBC's second top story at 6 o'clock was the Chancellor getting heckled by some shouty twat. Not even news. Let alone top news. Into the actual item, mentioned almost in passing, the fact gov't has frozen fuel duty. It is impossible to deny the bias. You have to REALLY not want to see it.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne?
We can hear your strings being pulled.

Remember that Nigel Farage is Donald Trump's biggest supporter.
Remember that Nigel campaigned for Trump and even wants to mimic all his policies.
This is the sort of insanity Reform want to bring to the United Kingdom.

There was, of course, absolutely nothing to stop these Tories resigning when their own Party was literally in the middle of doing all the things they now claim to be so unhappy about.

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
