Well I'm off for a few days to enjoy my festive shopping trip, so I wish you a happy few days, until next week, when I will definitely be poorer.😁

Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew about his crimes, newly released emails reveal – live updates
In new batch of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump ‘spent hours’ at his house with one of his victims In a new batch of emails released by Democrats on the House oversight committee, Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump knew about the late financier and sex-offender’s crimes. In the three emails released, Epstein apparently told his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump “spent hours” at his house with one of Epstein’s victims. In two other emails to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that “of course he knew about the girls”, referring to the now-president. According to the exchanges, Epstein also solicited Wolff’s advice about how he should handle Trump discussing their friendship in an interview with CNN. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff writes. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.” Continue reading...

BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special

The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1662 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover reads “BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special” and shows Broadcasting House with speech bubbles coming from the building. The quotes include “Donald Trump says we broadcast fake news!”, “Nigel Farage says we’re totally biased!”, “Boris Johnson says we’re liars!”, “The Daily Mail says we’re peddling conspiracy theories!”, “Kemi Badenoch highlights poor leadership!”, “The Daily Telegraph says we’re editing for political purposes!”, and “Liz Truss says we’ve done huge damage to the country!”

Good news, as the Telegraph confirm Davie's parting words to BBC staff "Jonathan Munro is now in command." As both the Telegraph and Mail are unhappy describing Munro as "'deluded and loathed' BBC deputy 'staunch defender of doctored Donald Trump footage", this is great for us and bad for the right

Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel.
So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off…
There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself.
(iPaper+LFF)
White House is going all out to make GB News feel at home Simon Marks (Extract from article) When Donald Trump visited the UK in mid-September; not not enough attention was paid at the time to one history-making element of his joint press conference with Sir Keir Starmer: Both men proffered their traditional opening statements, and then turned to questions from the assembled press corps. After Starmer invited Trump to select an American reporter to pose a question. Trump instead directed his gaze at Bev Turner, the GB News anchor who had recently relocated to Washington, DC. Turner had travelled back to the UK aboard Air Force One, and, for the first time in recorded history, an American president failed at first blush to pick a reporter representing a US-based news outlet to ask a question while on foreign soil. Today, as Trump threatens to sue the BBC for $Ibn ($760m) over Panorama's clumsy editing of his 6 January 2021 speech ahead of the Capitol riots, GB News is in the ascendancy at the White House. From the moment Turner arrived to expand the network's Washington bureau, Trump and his top lieutenants have embraced her nightly, two-hour live broadeast as a vehicle for advancing the US President's agenda. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has slammed the BBC, posting on X over the weekend that BBC News "is dying because they are anti-Trump Fake News" while going on to say that "everyone should watch GBNEWS!” Nigel Farage's admission that he discussed the BBC crisis with Trump on Friday is also a fresh indication of trouble ahead for Starmer, who should fear the open communication between the two political soulmates, as well as the US administration's backing of GB News. In short: Trump has got the BBC and its fact-based journalism on the run - and GB News is enthusiastically on his side. * LEFT FOOT FORWARD Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has increased his shareholding in GB News, as the arch Brexiteer continues to deepen his relationship with the right-wing channel. According to the latest documents filed to Companies House this week, Farage has increased his shares from 300,000 to 500,000. It comes as Farage continues to rake it in from the channel, making £60,000 for just 20 hours of work according to his latest register of interests.

Absolutely agree. Privitisation sees money needed to improve services go into the pockets of the already wealthy.

Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,

£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.

Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.

Say NO to privatisation.

Gibb needs to be removed, he has never worked for us at the BBC he has worked for outside influences, with close ties to the right and Israel. When BBC staff are repeatedly confirming his 'institutional bias' and asking for his removal, we should listen.

An interesting read highlighting dangers I was unaware of, but the main message I took from it was "to make your garden a haven for birds and other wildlife stop using chemical pesticides: insecticides, molluscicides or herbicides".

Its impact on birds, however, isn’t as benign as it may appear."

So another one bites the dust. Considering the list of disciplinary reasons admitted to that have forced Reform Councillors to resign, the question this time is what on earth is his reason that Reform wants to keep it quiet.

If Boris Johnson can appoint former GBNews adviser and pro Israel endorser, Robbie Gibb to the board of the BBC why can’t Starmer replace him? The BBC is under serious threat and Labour don’t seem to care.
Gibb position on BBC board ‘untenable’, says Swinney
The comments come amid a bias row at the broadcaster which has seen two of its top bosses resign.
