Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

Why is Reeves still flying kites on capping ISA allowances when they are so popular? Feels like the Henry Ford dictum that you can have any colour for the Model T as long as it's black. Saying folk need to take greater risks on shares/stocks shows how Labour are failing to listen to the populace.

United Kingdom struggles to acknowledge the far right's rise
The UK, which resisted the Nazis during World War II, long believed itself immune to radical ideologies. Yet the rising popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, which plans to massively deport immigrants, suggests otherwise.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

2/2 As regards reducing energy bills the govt 'regulator' just:
1) Allowed an increase in price per unit in bills this Autumn to a new higher average for variable tariffs.
2) Allowed an increase in standing charges due in part to 'government scheme costs'.
We are being 'had' by Labour on this.

We’ve outgrown our two-party system, writes Stephen McNair.
The UK now has five or six major parties, yet still clings to a voting system built for two.
The Dutch elections this week prove there’s another way: fairer, calmer, more democratic.
