Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Spot on analysis of the sycophantic Washington press corps right now on LBC by @mrjamesob.bsky.social. We have all known all along about Trump and Epstein and yet the questions don't get asked.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.
All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

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?

🧵 While the BBC remains fairly well trusted overall and one of the most trusted media sources in the country, the broadcaster has an image problem with Reform voters who are much less likely than average to say they trust the broadcaster and are split between trust/distrust.

On the way to the Festival of Remembrance, with Indi, 13. My thoughts in my column this week on how these traditions were invented to fill the identity gaps of the 1920s and how renewing them in the 2020s can be one way to bridge divides in polarised times
