There’s one way the BBC could retrieve some dignity from the smoking rubble of the past week. It should send Donald Trump a four-word reply to his blustering threat to sue the corporation in Florida for $1bn in damages: “See you in court.” prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/... #bbcpm
The four-word message the BBC should send Trump about his $1bn lawsuit
The corporation must show it will not be cowed, unlike American broadcast media, and call the president’s bluff

Biggest beneficiary of donations from private health firms: Labour health secretary Wes Streeting.
This is a scandal.
Not only does evidence show that NHS prioritisation is more expensive and has worse outcomes for patients but UK voters have never given permission to privatise their NHS.

More evidence that Tory privatisation of public services, only leads to worse services for its users and workers. The owners get richer and the rest of us are left worse off. Would like to know how many Tory politicians 'invested' in these companies.
