The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Chris Philp opens by gymnastically framing the train attack with relation to asylum seekers, concludes that the reason for knife crime is foreigners in prison, then LOSES HIS RAG when LibDem Home Affairs spox @maxwilkinson.bsky.social pulls him up on it.

"Most of my life I suffered w/ depression, anxiety, & low self esteem. When I started to learn about autism I realized that many things I'd struggled with were NOT because I was a loser.

I found that SO many things I had put myself down for are part of being Autistic.

It made my life make sense."

Meme: A bald man with a magnificent purple beard reclines on a grey sofa, wearing a light purple Gap hoodie. A grey Maine Coon sleeps contentedly in the crook of his right arm, having achieved peak feline relaxation whilst its human practices the fine art of procrastination. Behind him are houseplants, pink curtains, and soft lighting. White text overlays read "Cunctative Self Care" at the top and "Sometimes, it's OK to just do the fucking things tomorrow" at the bottom.

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

Zack Polanski (@zackpolanski.bsky.social) British.

This one had me in bits. But then I was a little tired and emotional. Zack Polanski recites Benjamin Zephaniah's poem "The British" while walking round Handsworth, Birmingham.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

They Helped Topple Roe v. Wade. Now Their Sights Are Set on Britain.

This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

9pm on @radioglamorgan.bsky.social pour the smarties in a bowl, gather the pets and huddle round the stereogram, then listen for 3 hours as I bring a plethora of new tunes, a smorgasbord of old tunes, some Rossini as your classical tune and Badly Drawn Boy joins the #NightOwlsInstantRecordCollection
