The BBC edit was a stupid thing to do precisely because it gave the right an opportunity to muddy the waters, but I really struggle to see how it actually mischaracterised his position

Starmer briefing against his own cabinet is a nostalgic throwback to the
Boris Johnson bunker days in Summer 2022 but surely the PLP know better than to attempt to make Wes Streeting PM.

Two of the top bosses of the BBC resigned this week, after allegations in a dossier claimed Panorama had altered a Trump quote.
One problem: that dossier altered the Trump quote, too

Exclusive: the error at the heart of Trump’s BBC attack
A report alleging Panorama broadcast misleading Trump quotes contains misleading quotes itself

So the far right hacks who put together the stupid dossier did exactly the thing that they are accusing the BBC of.

If you had to guess at the time which one of Mike Pence and Tim Kaine would be voting for Trump's economic policy a decade down the line from when they were both running for VP, you would not guess right.

Absolutely spineless. What an outrage. Auntie is going to be destroyed by a foreign dictator while the establishment, from the pro-Trump far right to the government to the journalistic class working at competitors cheers on the chaos.
Asked if Keir Starmer has made any representations to Donald Trump about his attacks on our national broadcaster, the Prime Minister's spokesman replies that "it is for the corporation to respond to questions about their editorial decisions".

One day the government discover that DCMS is not just the department for having a token government presence at art gallery openings but actually has overall responsiblity for all broadcasting, which is quite important.

If the BBC reach a compensation settlement with Trump in order to protect their US cable market ambitions I doubt I will be alone in cancelling my licence fee. I am absolutely not having a penny of my money going to Trump.

The BBC did not create the impression that Trump orchestrated January 6th.
Trump himself created that impression, through his speeches on the day and in advance.
He was indicted by Congress for it and only escaped a criminal trial by... becoming president again.

Given that this is an issue the US government has with the British state broadcaster it would be useful if there was a British Ambassador to the US at the moment, a position that the government has chosen to leave vacant for TWO MONTHS now.

Good that Tim Davie is gone because he’s a far right hack that had no sense running a news service that was meant to be impartial, weird and worrying that the far right hack has had to resign for not being pro-Trump enough.

If I had a nickel for every time a sitting vice president had shot someone, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Absolutely bizarre that there is a sizeable contingent on this site that think blocking/blocklists is this terrible thing. You should be able to block whoever you want. And if you think people shouldn't be allowed to opt out of reading your posts, that's very arrogant of you.

So confused who alarm clock Britain is meant to include/exclude. At every point of my life, when I've been in education, when I've been doing full time manual shift work, and now when I have a job in tech, I've woken up to an alarm clock. Surely alarm clock Britain is almost everyone.
