Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X
“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”
It’s racked up 2 million views AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
This question of why Mandelson was appointed as US ambassador - isn’t it obvious? He was the only one available with something in common with Trump.

Elon musk must be boiling knowing what Jimmy Wales has achieved with Wikipedia and what a thoroughly lovely man he is.
Here My Dear has been in my top ten albums since its release, yet few people known it.
Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.
“I think anything left to itself without some kind of intelligence behind it will devolve into chaos.” If applied to MAGA this sounds like good news.

The Badger cull is continuing even though:
• TB levels in badgers in Cumbria (Area 73) are low

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

Could we get Charlotte Green out of retirement for this?
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
Yes we've all felt immensely pissed off with the BBC from time to time

For the sake of democracy we all need to defend the BBC as an institution
