Trump-proof the BBC The BBC is our national broadcaster, we must defend it against those who want to destroy it.

The WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Council) are based in Canary Wharf, London right now. About 1,000 jobs to move but it's a reflection of the atmosphere there post brexit.

£trillions in assets have also left the City of London since brexit. No return ticket booked.

Great, hammer home the questions behind Reform. You’re on live tv so make the most of i

What a wally…..

Is this the same as a fatwa?

Tories to pledge to create immigration taskforce modelled on Trump’s Ice Proposed ‘removals force’ will be tasked with deporting 150,000 people a year in bid to tackle illegal immigration

And The Olympics, World Cup (assuming they qualified) and Eurovision? Ban the Israel from all international events until they get rid of the current government and replace it with a sensible administration

How sad, poor little wimp resorting to social media for comfort

I'm sure Chris Mason will be all over this.
any second now...
just you wait...

Yet another royal scandal. Did Pizza Express do swan pizzas?

Surely it depends on what data is being asked for and I’ve not seen any proposals. Anti money laundering checks these days are commonplace and I would have thought the information sought would be the same for digital id. Let’s see the proposals

Pathetic

Ah, how sad, little wannabe reporter gets told off by an adult?

Backbone? He’s worried

OFCOM? Nandy? Only the LibDems seem to be saying something which the media is swamping with the latest Reform news conference. Biased reporting methinks

Agreed Radio3 is fine though, but even today Farage’s voice came on at 1pm. Radio went off for a minute in respect.

Soon to be a ‘here today, gone tomorrow reporter’ to paraphrase the late Robin Day

The word inadequate comes to mind

Methinks he’s beginning to realize the real world is catchup with him. The clock has started on his demise

Pretty disgraceful for Mason to call Davey’s criticism Trumpian given his disastrous coverage of the Reform conference among other things. Maybe do your job better instead of shooting the messenger?

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

Wait a minute, where is Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage to defend our free speech?

Kemi Badenoch's refusal to even mildly criticise a convicted far-right criminal and his billionaire mate, openly calling for violence on our streets, tells you everything you need to know about her leadership

Another one bites the dust...

They must be able to criticise Tommy Robinson fascism or we're completely lost. This isn't even Farage we're talking about here. Goddamn them for even needing to hear that.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳

He can’t stop it happening though can he?

Lucy Connolly who tweeted about setting fire to hotels (later deleted) is being labelled a political prisoner by some. If I or a person of colour suggested setting fire to places where majority white people were staying or any people for that matter, would I or they be afforded such status?
