Good to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social totally destroy #Reform ‘s Leila Cunningham’s racist rhetoric on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social tonight.

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit Deborah Turness, the CEO of news, says “mistakes have been made”.

I wasn’t expecting it - but I’m not surprised.

As Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland & Spain say they'll pull out of the Eurovision Song Contest if Israel takes part, BBC director general Tim Davie says the Eurovision Song Contest has "never been about politics."
I can count at least 16 examples of politics affecting the competition!

Sad and also dangerous. We can only hope there are arrests for the numerous offences being committed here.

Is Yvette Cooper A War Criminal? View the voting record for Yvette Cooper regarding the ongoing Palestinian Genocide.

Is it just me or does anyone else, who’s passionate about tackling the genocide in Gaza, think Yvette Cooper is a dangerously bad choice for UK Foreign Secretary?

Nigel Farage appearances on Sky News spark thousands of complaints It comes after Reform UK set up its own broadcast studio to pump out slick, TV-style videos online

Lib Dem Leader Meets BBC Boss To Complain About Level Of Reform Coverage Exclusive: Ed Davey has met with BBC boss Tim Davie to complain about the broadcaster’s coverage, which the Liberal Democrats claim is weighted too...

I'm not a Lib Dem supporter but Ed Davey's concern that the BBC are lazily succumbing to a Reform-led PR agenda is totally justified.

I’d like to think he’s praising Labour Governments in the 1970s and particularly the late, great Tony Benn, who had a key role in the development of Concord … but he probably isn’t!

Genuinely saddened to hear of the death of #cleolaine She was a great musical artist with a phenomenal range.

AI can be useful tool in seeking out resources but can be dangerous if it filters sources to pursue specific ideologies.

The Lib Dems have reported the BBC to Ofcom for giving "undue prominence" to Reform UK in its coverage of the UK-France deal yesterday

Welsh First Minister goes further on Gaza than I’ve heard any senior Labour figure go. Eluned Morgan says she defers to Helena Kennedy in her view that Israel is engaged in genocidal behaviour against Palestinians.

French dock workers refused to load weapons for Israel. Be like the French

In life there are rarely black/white answers. It’s mostly nuanced shades of grey.

Russia’s propagandists on Telegram and TV have started calling the Azerbaijani people ‘Nazis’ and pointing out the 300km border between Russia and Azerbaijan.

We know how this story unfolds.

Forever War works to keep Netanyahu in power and Putin could do with a distraction right now.
