Talking to Mail-reading and Telegraph-reading friends, they're getting wound up about small boats, tax etc despite them being rich by any objective measure, and generally having a great life.

The Right-leanimg part of the country is often angry over very little.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britainโ€™s last remaining truly national institutions.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Ken Clarke humiliates Danny Kruger's new party, Reform UK on #BBCQT

"I live in a county with a Reform UK council"

"Most of them had no idea what the country council did"

"They fought on the promise of reducing waste and council tax"

"And they just put up the council tax by the max"

Nothing to see here, just a GB News presenter suggesting the BBC bung Donald Trump a few million of license fee payers' money.

Hen Harrier โ€˜Susieโ€™, whose chicks were stamped to death in 2022, has been found dead on a North Pennines grouse moor with gunshot injuries If ever there was an example demonstrating the high level of persecution faced by Hen Harriers on UK grouse moors, the lack of consequences for the offenders, and the lack of justice for the victimโ€ฆ

If the grouse shooting industry are to be believed, Susie probably stamped her own chicks to death before turning the gun on herself.

Oh well. By a happy coincidence, less hen harriers means more red grouse for the toffs to shoot.

New emails suggest Trump knew about conduct of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein In messages released by House Democrats, Epstein wrote Trump โ€˜spent hours at my houseโ€™ in the company of one of his sex-trafficked victims * US politics live โ€“ latest updates Damning new emails that suggest Donald Trump knew about the conduct of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released Wednesday, in which Epstein said โ€œof course [Trump] knew about the girlsโ€ and which are likely to add pressure on the White House to release the so-called Epstein files. In one of several messages released by Democrats on the House oversight committee and not publicly seen before, Epstein wrote to a contact in 2011 that Trump โ€œspent hours at my houseโ€ in the company of one of the disgraced financierโ€™s sex-trafficked victims.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.

All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

The Telegraphโ€™s BBC hypocrisy A paper that knows a thing or two about editorial f*ck-ups...

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders canโ€™t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump:

Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt โ€œJournalists.โ€ These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election.

Itโ€™s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the worldโ€™s number one news source. We canโ€™t let him.

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

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Elon Musk's $1tn pay deal approved by Tesla shareholders - BBC News The richest man in the world will get hundreds of millions of new shares if he hits his targets.

Elon Musk masterminds bigotry and racism to distract and divide folk who might otherwise unite against a wealthy elite headed by the manipulator on a $1,000,000,000,000 deal

Buying this public square to unleash hate and funding extremists pays dividends
