Boris Johnson trying to undermine BBC leadership, insiders fear after leak Director general under pressure after release of memo criticising reporting on Trump, trans rights and Gaza

The government has STILL not cleared out the highly partisan decision-makers imposed on the BBC by the Tories. Starmer and co are so amazingly spineless and feeble.

Prince Andrew in robes

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all.

It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise.

We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here.

If you agree the govt should not strip away our right to protest, add your name

You might not agree with every protest you see, but these anti-protest laws could stop you having your say on anything from disability rights, employment rights or even your local library shutting.

The government must stop this attack on protest now. --> act.gp/43pAgnt

#r4today Why did it take the death of a two-year-old for the government to even consider holding SH landlords accountable for dangerous levels of mould and damp in rented properties?

And why are children living in private accommodation not considered equally deserving of the same protection?

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

Cheers for all the support today! Just bumping this up the TL for the evening crew 👋

Fewest homicides in London since monthly records began. The number of homicides in London between January to September 2025 is the lowest in the first 9 months of any year since monthly records began in 2003.

Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down.

The facts show a very different picture.

It’s time to vote to keep the Faragists out.

Best not to split the vote.

Use the QUICK VOTE” link both for people and for motions.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Rue Rue Jo Cox, Députée Britannique, a street sign in Burgundy reads, Assassinée pour ses convictions. No British road is named after her, I found on returning home, for fear it could have proved controversial. I remembered in Shakespeare rue even for ruth, called 'herb of grace' because it was used in exorcisms, by the angel to clean Adam's eyes, and Gulliver back home for his nose against the smell of his countrymen.

I think about this poem by Ian Duhig — about Jo Cox, the Labour MP assassinated by a man shouting ‘Britain first’ — every day at the moment. No other contemporary poet has looked so clearly at the political reality of the far right as a minority who must always be appeased

If Mandelson is sacked for his friendship with Epstein...

Then why is Trump still invited on a state visit & banquet when he had the exact same ties to Epstein...?

What are the chances that our PM grows a spine & pulls the plug on the whole circus?!

This is an absurd misuse of laws designed to tackle terrorism and an insane waste of a resource-starved criminal justice system.

There were obviously not 900 terrorists wandering through central London on Saturday and it's utterly ridiculous to act as if there were

It really doesn’t matter how brutal the duvet / duvet cover battle is. The buttons at the end are the most painful bit.

Taxpayer-funded spy flights for Israel's military are unforgivable. The UK must immediately cease military cooperation with Israel amid mounting evidence of war crimes and genocide in Gaza. We must uphold international law, protect Palestinian lives, and end our complicity now.

‘The UK wants my passport for porn – it’s a dream come true for blackmailers’ Our columnist says the Online Safety Act is less about safety and more about surveillance - and risks personal data falling into the wrong hands.

"When you restrict access to legal adult content, people don’t stop consuming it, they just get it from sketchier places. Just as when the US tried to ban booze, the law-abiding folk shut up shop, the gangsters rushed in"

The smartest commentary on AV, of course, comes from a sex worker.

YouTube video by Rosie Holt Woman explains how the elderly who support Palestine at protests are terrorists.

Woman explains how the elderly who attend Pro Palestine protests are terrorists who must be stopped. youtu.be/iy3icAPWguo?...

How our water went to shit Privatisation was meant to revitalise a public good. Instead, it left us with leaky pipes, sewage spills and rivers not fit to swim in

How England's water went to shit.

Ideology of privatisation.
Monopolies privatized.
Political system bought by corporations.
Profiteering by corporations.
Ineffective regulation.
No one listens to the people.

Don't believe private is the best.

Govt still resisting public ownership.

England is not a modern country. The graphic below by
@guyshrubsole.bsky.social in today's Observer underlines this fact.

I’ve just challenged the FCDO minister: when will UK govt ban settlement goods? This trade directly funds & fuels illegal Israeli settlements and makes the UK complicit in extremist violence. The minister just talks about labelling; trade in these goods must be banned outright.

So ... We can tax the rich more ...
