You could be forgiven for thinking that a corporate lobbyist & former Murdoch press hack may not have the best interests of public-service broadcasting at heart.

He was promoted to ensure that Brexit went ahead
He is the sort of shadowy character who is essential to the unpicking of democracy
This should be the end of his time on the BBC board
But it's clear that the attacks on it come from fascists and proto-fascists who want to shut down our powerful public-service broadcaster
For the sake of democracy we all need to defend the BBC as an institution

🎙️ @dmk1793.bsky.social discusses our call for a National Commission on Electoral Reform on @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social
💯 “I think this is the way forward”
It's quite emotional watching all the positive responses to this question

And as nationalism grows, this is more important than ever
What about you?

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.
After the service it was good to speak with the Deputy First Minister about defence being an engine for growth in Northern Ireland too.
Such a low level of ambition that the only hope of saving the economy is to make more weapons of death
Reminds me of Keynes's comment about digging holes and filling them in
Conclusion: war is good for capitalism but not good for people
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
This is true in the UK as it is true in the US

They were crooks and shysters to a man

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy
