A close look at Trump's $1 billion claim against the BBC
The litigation letter is weak, but his underlying practical position is not weak

Highly recommended. These are both excellent books. I’m struggling to think of a collection of stories that so consistently unnerved me.
I've got a fresh batch of paperbacks in if anyone wants to buy directly from me for Christmas. Same deal as back in July: £13 each, or both for £25, including UK postage.

The BBC simply is not a robust, independent institution.
Those who clap and cheer at these resignations are only having a short-term fillip - for this capitulation indicates a less-than-healthy wider polity.

it is very strange that BBC chair Samir Shah is hiding this morning. He should by rights be on the Today programme presenting himself as in charge and hands on the tiller. I wonder if he is frightened for his position

I endorse Intervals of Darkness. A diverse, chilling collection. I can’t vouch for the other because I’ve not read it. I might put that right now…

About ten years ago I worked on a Nick Robinson series for Radio 4 about the many dust-ups the BBC has had with the government of the day going back to the general strike. I never thought there’d be one with a FOREIGN government.
