Trump, Farage, Russian Embassy, Boris Johnson, plenty of flies around these 🤨

Trump v BBC is a defining issue.
Support for Trump is drawn exclusively from the most loathsome people on both sides of the Atlantic.

Stand firm BBC.

The Orange Shape-Shifting Conman is merely wobbling his saggy biceps as a threat to world media.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

Mean, but funny 😀😀

A tweet from TheRealThelmaJohnson (@TheRealThelmaJ1) reads: “Almost a dozen tickets had to be refunded.” Below is a split image showing Kid Rock on the left and another man in a suit on the right. A fake breaking news banner reads: “KID ROCK CANCELS ALL TOUR DATES IN NEW YORK CITY FOR NEXT YEAR. ‘SORRY NYC, BUT I DON’T SING FOR COMMIES.’”

Kid who?

Reinventing Football: Fans have their say on which laws should change BBC Sport asked football fans to rip up the rulebook and suggest one change to the game. Here are the top five talking points from thousands of replies.

Interesting survey results. Agree with all but the VAR change, it already takes too long. If anything I'd add a 30 sec limit to decision making.

BBC faces ‘existential’ threat after exit of top executives Broadcaster’s deepest crisis in recent history comes amid fresh questions over its future role in British society

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

Ofwat says off-shore payments to Yorkshire Water boss do not flout bonus ban Campaigners have slammed Ofwat after the water regulator found that the undisclosed off-shore payment of £660,000 to Yorkshire Water boss Nicola Shaw did not flout the Government’s bonus ban rule.

As the Yorkshire Post enquires, what is the point of Ofwat?

When Yorkshire Water get away with paying greedy Nicola Shaw from a parent company, pretending this isn’t a replacement for the bonus she shouldn't get because of their appalling pollution record? 🤮

Another case of Reform saying one thing then doing the other:

A Reform-led council is planning to double council tax on second homes six months after party leader Nigel Farage denounced such policies as “madness” and “extortion”

'Fight for our journalism,' outgoing director general tells BBC staff after Trump's threat to sue Trump says he will file legal action by Friday, seeking $1bn, if the BBC does not apologise and

The BBC *should* apologise - for the misleading edit. But that's all. No compensation.

#Trump WAS calling for insurrection. He DID incite a crowd to attack his country's seat of government. Law enforcement officers WERE injured.

Nothing can change that...

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SWIA OAA Rt. Hon. Keir Starmer MP Prime Minister Sent by email Monday 10 November 2025 Dear Prime Minister, President Trump's assault on the BBC is a serious threat to our national interest, and ! urge you to join me in standing up against it. The BBC belongs to everyone here in the United Kingdom. We should be incredibly proud that the UK is home to the world's number one source of trusted news - something that strengthens our democracy while also enhancing our power to uphold our values around the globe. As a public service broadcaster, the BBC has an important, distinctive and vibrant role to play in the UK's cultural and media landscape - helping to boost growth and create jobs. We cannot afford to let it be destroyed by Donald Trump and his allies. It should be extremely concerning to us all to see the President of the United States pressuring the BBC over its leadership and attacking its journalists as "corrupt", and his Press Secretary telling everyone to "watch GB News". It should not be up to foreign powers to dictate where the British people get their news from. We must stand united to defend our democracy from foreign interference like this - even when it comes from a crucial ally. The BBC's strength lies in its independence and impartiality. That has been eroded, and it is essential that, together, we urgently work to ensure that it is properly independent and strong enough to stand up to political pressure, whether foreign or domestic. The BBC must stay true to its original mission - to inform, educate and entertain - and not be bullied into giving undue prominence to the loudest, most divisive voices. We have watched with alarm as Trump and his allies have undermined the free press in the United States, and all the damage that has done to American democracy. We cannot let that happen here.

Will you join me in condemning Donald Trump's attack on the BBC? As political leaders, we have a responsibility to protect one of our nation's most treasured institutions from becoming subservient to Donald Trump and his cronies, especially when their values are so far removed from the values of the British people. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together. Yours sincerely, Suad Na Ed Davey Leader of the Liberal Democrats

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Trump’s attack on the BBC.
