Moore rather gave the game away on Today just now when he mentioned climate change as one of the things on which the BBC should be impartial. Treating the truth and lies as though they are equal isn't impartiality, it's an abdication of the most basic journalistic responsibility

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

Fascinating to read Lennon's thoughts on the conversion of The Beatles mono recordings to stereo in the early 70s. I had previously read a paraphrased version of the Revolution 1 quote, but not the part about the Red & Blue album mixes. 'Embarrassing' is a strong word to use.

We constantly hear from Nigel Farage and his media supporters that Reform isn't a racist party.
Meanwhile, seven out of ten ethnic minority voters say that they are.
If only the views of actual victims of racism were heard even half as much as the perpetrators

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.
