GB News broadcasted a package last week on analysis of people with "foreign sounding" names.
Peddling unverified and racist statistics on national TV is dangerous and we must call it out.
The Liberal Democrats are calling on Ofcom to investigate and take swift action.

Funny they don't seem so bothered by Jenrick's three homes (including a grade 1 listed manor) plus his forth home in his constituency rented at taxpayer expense.
Wonder why.

Daily Telegraph today refers to A Rayner’s property “empire”. Whatever you think of her housing arrangements, I don’t think constituency house (bought for 375k in 2016), house in Hove, plus use of ministerial flat in London is an “empire”. Duke of Westminster wont fear a rival!

To quote an old line, the average IQ of both parties has gone up.
So Jake Berry joins Reform. There's a surprise. Unpleasant man joins unpleasant party.

Is it any wonder the royals do not speak to the Royal Whinge when they know anything they say will be bleated or to all and sundry via their client journalists.

I shouldn't want to worry anyone but there were papal conclaves in both 1914 and 1939!

London Rowing Club have had this truck stolen overnight. White Ford Transit, double cab, dropside, with LRC flag on doors and bonnet. LD66 OTM but it may be on false plates. It may still be in the Putney area for a few days. @mattpinsent.bsky.social @almurray.bsky.social can you RT?

With the regatta invitations rolling in I'm looking forward to umpiring at three courses new to me this year: EUROW regatta in Linz (AUT), Sarnen regatta on the Sarnersee (SUI) and HIRBS in Loughros, County Donegal (IRL).

Unless you follow the minutiae of the British Rowing website, you might have missed yesterday's announcement which will almost certainly put £1 per seat on entry fees this summer. This was done without any consultation with the clubs or regions at all.

RD Burnell who would never have struck me as a radical came to the conclusion in 1956 that HRR was on the wrong date. He was entirely correct. He suggested the best date would be late July or early August, which would be impractical but a date similar to that of the Brit Champs could be managed.

You *cant* reduce net immigration to the tens of thousands without triggering some combination of an nhs recruitment crisis, a further intensification of the social crisis or tipping universities into bankruptcy. Which ones would you prefer, backbench Yoda?
