I mean, should we really be surprised that the very people who, each day, publish a new article / post a tweet choc full of hyperbole on how much they despise large parts of life in the UK are just openly turning on the nation and its institutions? The electorate must be rapped on the wrists.
Tory culture spox demanding the BBC "grovel" to Trump is baffling. Who is this supposed to chime with?
Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Amazing ingratitude for Farage to turn on the broadcaster that made him a household name.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

Working as I do in the Recruitment sector and having seen a pretty bleak picture for some time - particularly in some of the feedback we've had from clients and candidates, even I'm surprised.
A surprisingly bad set of labour market stats this morning. The story I was prepared for was "some weakening, but the shake out from the early part of the year is behind us". But it's worse than that - payroll jobs falling again, unemployment now up at 5%.

This is what I’ve been talking about for years when I speak of the British media as being a wonky football table. One side has it very, very easy (and yet still loses money).

The last 10 minutes of The Absence of War is as good as Hare gets. The confrontation between John Thaw & Oliver Ford Davies is superb and of course the final ''...let's all be Tories, we should all join the Tories, and let's all f*ck it up''

Watching Olusoga’s ‘Empire’ and credit to him for finding time to feature the Mau-Mau horrors like the camps, hangings & castration which I’ve always thought the most appalling facet of the late British Empire (in the bloody 50s for God’s sake).

I draw some strange comfort that the UK's old InterCity 125s found a second life in Nigeria, clearly alongside some rather nice new German-looking stations to go with them.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

I learn that Meantime Brewery had actually returned to Greenwich after being asset-stripped by Asahi back in 2010. It has now returned in the guise of a 'modern pub' that looks something of a cross between Bluewater Shopping Centre and Brewdog Waterloo.

The saddest part is, so many of our commentors would still back the Americans.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I take the Scott Galloway view on this - if, by trying to get laid outside of the apps some men also, accidently become more interesting, well-rounded people then, meh?

In the context of global geo-politics, it's quite something that Russia and China's cooperation on Ukraine sits against the backdrop of a Chinese Swine Flu epidemic that killed over million pigs in China itself and is now swiping through Siberia. With friends like these etc.
