I mean this probably is the explanation - low pay matters quite a bit less if you come from a wealthy background I suppose. Also why there’s a lot of posh people in creative sectors

‘Thanks so much for joining us on what I know is a very busy day for you. Tell me, what is your vision for the BBC as the corporation’s new director-general?’

Good morning ben

Yale lab reports mass killings in Sudan, calls for student activism The Humanitarian Research Lab was told this week that over 10,000 people in Sudan were killed within three days.

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Omg congrats king

Sudan siege ends in bloodbath despite pleas for mercy Evidence emerges of atrocities committed by the paramilitary RSF after it seized control of El Fasher

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

Also the ‘hard’ men in charge of Gondor were busy bashing their heads against a brick wall and calling it a job well done. The only reason Gondor survived was because Faramir, who is v much not like that, let Frodo go

Elon take Tolkien’s name out of your filthy mouth challenge

That’s the air defence commander

Oomf the last Pokémon game I played was monochrome 😭😭

France declaring war on the Netherlands any minute now

Excuse me I have a name

Imagine doing drone warfare against the biggest military superpower around, but you only have one live drone and like 20 decoys tops. Oh and the drones are not very keen on the whole kamikaze thing…

I love this sm. Also, you know, they never said he has no ground based anti-aircraft capabilities…

Same but only for Cat specifically

No they need to get Jonathan and then the remaining traitors should do in whoever’s doing his wardrobe 😭

Mind you he’s getting it right 💀

Why is government addicted to snail mail

Tbf who wouldn’t enjoy leaving Swansea

The current line taken by some Conservatives is "We will rip up ILR, something no govt has ever done before, but citizenship is different". Not reassuring. Precedents matter. "We don't abide by rules previously agreed" is the precedent.Once that's set, reassurances on other rules carry little weight

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

Please do 🐶

Faragist parties have always hit a ceiling of support at 30% – that’s about as well as the Brexit Party or UKIP ever did, albeit in EU elections.

Reform hasn’t broken through that, it’s just done it in Westminster polling as the vote share of the big two has collapsed. That may be significant.

What if Sarkozy was like ‘I’m already going to prison, might as well live a little’ and then robbed the Louvre

I mean I did consider that but they’re not usually all that concerned with public opinion…
I suppose it’s been this way literally since the dawn of time so why change now

Is there particular reason for official salaries being this low? Is it just to balance the books (on paper)?
