I'm wondering if any reviewers of that Panorama documentary noticed the supposedly egregious edit. I suspect not. Because it was just a bit of context for a documentary about something else. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Trump: A Second Chance? review – why his rise, and his return, make total sense
From Front Row Joes wanting control to the leader of the Proud Boys wanting to ‘make America hate again’, this documentary interviews Trump fans – and takes more time than most films to show why his p...

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Your Party row erupts over hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations
Corbyn and Sultana clash comes after months of fighting between the pair both jostling to be leader of populist left
The feud between Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana over the future of a left wing party took another twist as the two camps argued publicly over hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations.
Sultana on Monday offered to transfer £600,000 from a company which the party’s founders set up earlier this year, only to be rebuffed by allies of Corbyn who accused her of playing “political games” with supporters’ money. Continue reading...

The two child cap is a test of the government’s seriousness: if you are serious about child poverty, you lift it, and if you are serious about not wasting money, you don’t fritter away cash on dumb things like vouchers to try and manage the PLP.
If the government chooses to keep the 2 child limit and spend money on vouchers and parenting programmes instead, child poverty will rise and this will be a conscious and deliberate political choice in defiance of all the evidence
Scrapping the cap entirely is both good policy *and* good politics.
Half measures will "save" some money short-term, but will piss *everybody* off and still leave very large numbers of children suffering from a policy designed to make them poorer.

Ofcom's board consists largely a load of right-wingers with a background in banking. There's only one person on the board with a background in journalism and one person with a background in TV production* and unfortunately they're the same bloke. It's not fit for purpose.
Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News.
GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though

Unfortunately Kamala Harris wasn't responsible for a similar, balancing insurgency. I'm sure if she had been, the BBC would have dedicated a programme to it. Christ this Prescott guy is a moron.

TBH right-wingers are always accusing the BBC of left-wing bias, it's like white noise, you tune it out.

Winner and Your Early Stuff are also okay, but some of these songs are plodding and melodically negligible. Have the Pet Shop Boys boys run out things to say?

Not sure how this will affect planning decisions, as we do not live in a world where councillors and council officers rely on the public to bring planning laws to their attention. Resident objections are more a useful gauge of 'strength of feeling'.
