RT: @deirdreheenan An indignant Laura Kuenssberg asks Communities Secretary Steve Reed.

"why would Israel say something that is not true."

Give me strength, where do you even start with this?

Surely even #bbclaurak must have heard that “the first casualty of war is the truth” ?

James Cleverley is getting himself tied up in knots on #bbclaurak when talking about the Ishtar Celebration in Trafalgar Square

"Islamists, and we should not conflate that term with followers of Islam and with Muslims more broadly, but where that political agenda tries to asserts its place in a public space that is something that is problematic and that is something we should look at"

"But what evidence is there?" Asks LK

"That is not the point that is being made."

🙄

1/2

Nick Ferrari on #bbclaurak suggests that because Putin is not bound by International Law, we shouldn't be either

What a fool

The Gorgeous 😍 Stephen Flynn is on #bbclaurak saying we we can fulfil the necessities of energy demand with "the flick of a switch"

I wouldn't like to argue too much with Stephen in case he hurls me roughly to the floor and tears my clothes off, but I do think he's wrong on this point xxx

#Bbclaurak says to the oily Chris O'shea from Centrica, "Last time round there was lots of concern about the profits companies like yours were making"

"But you will find the tax rate went to 70% so 4/5ths went straight back to the government," he replies

( I'm not really sure how this helps me as a housewife. The better thing would have to have not raised his prices and put his goods into this bracket )

Chris O'shea owner of Centrica and British Gas is scandalously talking about gas prices on #bbclaurak, when asked if they will rise he says "we will have to wait and see" and "we don't want to panic people"

These Capitalist fuckers......

Centrica reported an adjusted operating profit of £0.8 billion for 2025 and £1.6 billion in 2024

#bbclaurak asks Steve Reed, "Where's HMS Dragon?"

SR "It's on its way."

LK "It's still not there?"

I was told that dragons could fly !

Apparently not so

#bbclaurak says to Steve Reed, "Isn't it about time there was a vote in Parliament as to what the UK was doing?"

"There is no precedent for defending British people," he replies

"There was someone who wanted there to be a vote. His name was Keir Starmer. He very clearly said when he was running to be Lab Leader there will always be a vote on taking military action"*

*Starmer first pledged to introduce a "Prevention of Military Intervention Act" during his 2020 Labour leadership campaign
