NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

"This week the woke right took to saying that people who are black aren't properly British" complains Danny Finkelstein.

No, Danny, Douglas Murray, who you patronised, promoted and admired, has been saying *exactly this* for over a decade.

Reports appeared that Putin will visit India on December 5.

The goal of his visit is clear: negotiations regarding oil and bypassing US sanctions.

'BBC Bias' Memo Was Authored by Lobbyist Tied to Pro-Trump Tech Giants The leaked memo that fuelled Trump’s attack on the BBC was written by a lobbyist at a firm paid by US tech giants tied to the President

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier.

The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Robbie Gibb, the BBC Board Member with the impartiality remit

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group.

U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines.

They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

A London court ordered Ukrainian oligarchs Ihor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Boholyubov to pay more than $3 billion in damages and costs on Nov. 10, marking a major milestone in an almost decade-long saga revolving around once Ukraine's most powerful oligarch.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

The BBC’s Attempts to Appease the 'Right-Wing Coup' Against It Are Now Seeding Its Own Destruction By attempting to appease those forces seeking to destroy them, the BBC has helped trigger a crisis that now threatens its very future, argues Adam Bienkov

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

excoriating Observer editorial on the BBC departures

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

‘America Must Save Britain’ – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition GB News’ new programme broadcast live from Washington DC features climate denial, vaccine misinformation, and non-stop praise for Donald Trump – with the channel’s co-owner telling ‘MAGA’ politicians ...

If you have a doubt the MAGA attack on the BBC is not co-ordinated, read what GB News owner told the US

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here.

They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad.

Most importantly, they were human beings.

And they were murdered.

By the government of the United States of America.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Typical. It's not even allowed to be pro-war or pro-Putin because that's having an opinion and opinions are, honestly, not allowed in Putin's Russia.

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone made £65m selling faulty PPE to the Government.

HMRC now wants £39m in unpaid tax — and we think we know why: Barrowman and Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m profit.

For the first time, climate models show the 1.5°C goal is dead Governments have failed to limit global warming. What comes next?

Why is no one talking about this? Where is the outcry - and most importantly, where's the action?

Nations must finally work together to fight climate change. 🚨

Reality is tariffs are failing in all of their objectives except raising revenue (for the state and for Trump family via pay-offs) in a manner you expect of a dysfunctional government. Mob tactics are no basis for an economy.

No, the government isn’t banning central heating after 9pm – Full Fact Videos being shared on Facebook falsely claim the government is introducing a 9pm cut-off for using your central heating, with people who breach it at risk of fines.

Videos seen thousands of times on Facebook claim the government is banning people from using their central heating after 9pm from 1 November.

But this is completely false. There is no such policy.
