“When has #Kuenssberg ever expressed such heartfelt revulsion at the #genocide being committed by Israel in #Gaza, with likely in excess of 100,000 Palestinians slaughtered?

Has she expressed similar horror for 175 schoolgirls, staff and parents killed by the #US in a ‘double-tap’ attack on a primary school in #Minab in Iran? It seems some victims matter more”

I appreciate what you put yourself through on behalf of keeping others informed. The thought of watching ANY political show at the moment makes me feel physically sick. Watching #Kuenssberg and #Starmer combined would have me running and screaming for the hills.

Hmm. #ZackPolanski talks about taxing the wealthy and the UK's complicity in the #Gaza #Genocide

Then Iran Ahmed claims the UK is not participating in it.

However, not only is the UK selling weapons to Israel, it aids the genocide in other ways, as #DeclassifiedUK reports: https://www.declassifieduk.org/britain-sent-over-500-spy-flights-to-gaza/

Video: Polanski strong on Gaza genocide and on tax as Kuenssberg wheels out Israel advocate

Polanski rightly asks why care if the rich leave if they’re not paying their share – and points out UK govt collusion in Gaza slaughter as opponent who asked Israel lobby for cash denie…

Just listened to last night's BBC #Newscast on The Rapist's temper tantrum.

Listening to #ToryLaura both-sides-ing it all was pretty sickening.

"Some people say that Putin has done terrible things".

Seriously, #Kuenssberg? "Some people say"?

Three lords on Kuenssberg's show this morning. To think some say the bbc is the voice of the establishment.

"Ruthless in pursuit of the things he believed in" doesn't sound like a remotely admirable trait
