The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

“When I was [at the BBC], at the height of Boris Johnson’s strength, that fear was ubiquitous. Scripts were sometimes written with a view not solely to their impartiality or truth, but the management of perception of impartiality from one side of the spectrum.“ @lewisgoodall.com

Home Office data in HMRC benefit fraud trial wrong in 46% of cases Exclusive: Almost half of families flagged as emigrants based on Home Office travel data were still living in UK

Nearly half of parents stripped of child benefit based on faulty travel data were back in the UK bit.ly/497ALWP child benefit cannot be claimed after 8 weeks out of UK but data showing parents leaving UK on holiday was not always matched with data showing their return

Stay strong. The city is with you, the students and employees of our brilliant world renowned university ✊🏼

EXCLUSIVE: Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn slam Rupert Lowe’s ‘utterly repulsive’, and ‘deeply un-British’ social media comments 'Beyond disgusting'

Our entire political conversation - under a labour government - has taken a huge shift to the right.

We can't let this be normalised.

And if we think it’s bad now, imagine what it could look like, say, two months from a U.K. general election?

Could imagine huge sums in US far right cash flooding in, much of what would only be declared after the election (our electoral rules really are a jape)

It’s ironic to resign over editing a bunch of lies to reflect the truth.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

The rule of law has delivered:

Profiteering
Poverty
Poor housing
Low wages/pensions
Queues for hospital appointments
Premature death to many
Sewage in rivers
Cuts in spending on essential services
Closure of libraries, community centres.

Whose law, who rules? Govts appease corporations/rich.

"I don't normally share AI things..."

So fucking DON'T. Stop normalising the theft and bullshit machine.

Zack Polanski: ‘Hope has just won in New York – it can win here too’ | The Observer

"I’m convinced that it’s the cost of living, not immigration, that voters care about. The Green party is the only party honest enough not to try to conflate the two for political convenience."

I'm particularly pleased with how the frog photoshoot came out, after standing in my local canal for a couple of hours.

Plus, I got to use the #GayFrogs audio on the video, which was super fun 🐸 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4327...

Ah, Labour. Only the rosettes are a different colour.

Nearly 300 protected areas are being damaged or put at risk by Scotland’s rampant deer population, including breeding grounds for capercaillie – a bird facing extinction, The Ferret can reveal. theferret.scot/nearl...

Beautiful photos... Captured the colour despite the never ending grey outside! I hate this time of year

'We can't buy the Mayor of New York anymore, and that is unacceptable'

and each and every time I see a ‘felt like shit but still went to xyz’ my faith in humans and their ability to learn from experience dwindles ever further

I've never really understood the logic of "targeted vaccination".

Of course, money is a huge issue and we seek to get the most out of every £ spent.

Of course COVID and flu waves would be far worse without it.

But, what doesn't sit well for me is the following...

Land for the People (Scotland) Bill - Land Matters Introduction This blog introduces my proposals for a comprehensive Land Reform Bill - one that goes far further than existing proposals in reforming Scotland’s land governance. I plan to publish furth...

Folk often ask me what I would do by way of land reform legislation. Have a read of this blog to find out. It seems pointless to do much further detailed work since there is so little appetite for such measures andywightman.scot/2023/12/land...

Good. Throw the book at them.

Get them telt.

These adorable lads! This is how you fucking do it!

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.

Alex Salmond lawyer guilty of professional misconduct Gordon Jackson QC was recorded on a train discussing the former first minister's sex assault trial.

While we’re dealing with the terrible news that salmond spent all his money punishing women let us remember what his accusers went through in this case, at the hand of his lawyer

Exactly what I was wondering too! 😍😍 .... and a third brood of my favourite butterfly 🥰🥰

Exactly my thoughts too. Read "Break up" by @davidclegg.bsky.social and @kieranandrews.bsky.social for an insight into the real Alex Salmond and how all our institutions failed the women at the centre of this.

The UAE is one of the biggest trading partners with the US & Canada - & these govs must be pressured to put an arms & trading embargo on the UAE for its genocidal actions in Sudan.

Don't holiday in Dubai. Don't buy their gold or produce. Do your research - update your Boycott list.

Free Sudan!
