Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

A former Tory councillor tried to ban my novel Pigeon English. Why should pupils suffer because of him? My book, which draws on my upbringing on a diverse and deprived Luton council estate, has been used as a GCSE text. But one man objected to its profane language and depictions of violence and sexual behaviour

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London: "People will be wondering what it is about this Muslim mayor who leads a liberal, multicultural, successful, diverse city. It seems to me that I’m living rent free inside Donald Trump’s head."

The reason they come for comedians early is that a comic license is surprisingly easy to revoke. You just have to stop laughing.

Comedy is about safety, spreading that feeling of safety, intimacy, shared values, group strength.

They don’t want you to feel safe. They want you to feel scared.

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.

They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

A photograph of penguins on the Heard & McDonald Islands. They are in the foreground with a snow covered mountain behind. The remote islands are situated 4,000 km south-west of Perth in the southern Indian Ocean and about 2,000 kilometres north of Australia’s base at Davis Station in Antarctica.

These are the Heard & McDonald Islands. They are 4000km south of Perth, Australia and 2000km kilometres north of Antarctica.

Pictured here is the islands’
International Trade Committee, which is meeting in an emergency session tonight.

The Heard and McDonald Islands have no human population. They are uninhabited subantarctic islands, primarily home to wildlife such as seals, penguins, and seabirds. As an external territory of Australia, they are managed as a strict nature reserve and have no permanent residents.

The Trump administration has just announced a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. 🤡
