If BBC News's rivals who are today damning it for bias were held to similar standards, most of them would be shut down on the spot.

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

So much this. Labour needs to rise to this challenge, as I know they can. I just don't know if they want to.
“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

Having both good planning and skilled operatives saves lives.
This is what you pay for and what the persistent bad press about rail crew salaries misses deliberately every time.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.
Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.
