NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

Quote: Ms Hutchison said she hoped more people would "stand up" against the ideology behind the policy, adding: "It's now time for people to raise their head above the parapet and speak out against this."

The existence of trans people is not an "ideology", BBC. It is a reality and one which Parliament has recognized.

(Entirely typical of the BBC that, confronted by a populist right attack, they will show willing by dumping on trans people. Weak with the strong, strong with the weak, as always.)

Government's fucking cracked, man.

'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

Michael Prescott, author of the BBC/Trump dossier, is not a neutral voice...

I stayed up 26 hours on Thursday and Friday, trying to read and then write a precis on a text, and one of the only things that actually helped me read a text was imagining the voice of Harlan Ellison reading the text in my head, it was slower than my ostensible reading speed, but it worked a little

How many times are Labourites going to go through the cycle of perking up when Starmer makes one vaguely anti Reform statement to the Guardian, only to deflate as soon as Mahmood announces her latest nasty migrant bashing policy?

It seems to be a weekly cycle at this rate 😭

We are not, and shall never be, the 51st state.

The Bill team

Me wearing a nice rainbow tie in the back row

Tiny detail: it was 2008. The bill passed the Commons select committee stage in 2005.

Here’s me celebrating the passage of the Act in 2008 (back row) and at the opening of the line in 2022.

At the Act celebration party, Keith Berryman joked that Crossrail was first put forward as a scheme in 1904!

"Zealously Pro Palestinian party"

Genocide is bad actually.

Politico: "Veteran BBC presenter David Dimbleby told Channel 4 last night that it is “one of the most violent assaults on the BBC’s independence that I’ve seen in my lifetime,” while Playbook is told staff have been voicing “a lot of anger towards [right wing BBC board member] Robbie Gibb.”

All you need to know.

Sonia Sodha, Emily Maitlis, Helen Joyce and Hannah Barnes have all had their say in the media in the last 24 hours.

Well, quite.

But sadly, he’s completely spineless.

Do they sell poppies (and or pins) on 11 November itself

John Sweeney for BBC Director General

The thing is Sonia is not wrong, there is a huge amount of institutional and ideological capture on "the sex and gender issue", it's just that she's so utterly radicalised that she has failed to realise that it's very much in favour of her side.

Yes they are coming for us particularly because we are Anglophone, and for the BBC particularly because it is a trusted Anglophone voice that people in the US can potentially look at

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die.

An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

On Donald Trump's attack on the BBC this PM, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

"The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

"The PM [and others] should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it."

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (The White House Press Secretary) showing two news headlines side-by-side. The left headline, under a caption that reads "Shot" reads: "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC," and the right headline under a caption that reads "Chaser" reads: "Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general over Trump documentary edit."

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

I was reflecting earlier - having rewatched the Mr Bean section of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony (which is perfect in many ways) - how Britain really hasn't experienced much of a sustained, unifying feelgood factor since then.

Mamdani political slogan generator. “CASHIER NUMBER For Please”

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Greens’ ‘undeliverable’ promises will let voters down, says Labour minister Exclusive: Darren Jones says Labour has to convince young people it is ‘modern party of the future’

This would be a more convincing argument if Keir Starmer had not himself made a whole series of promises which he then declared completely undeliverable as soon as he became leader www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A bird shat on me once in 2015

hell yeah

What

I seem to remember Labour very recently making attack ads about how @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens didn't care about the environment and that Labour are the REAL party of climate action.

Labour are an absolute disgrace on every conceivable level.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.
