It is utter bullshit that the mistaken splicing of two bits of his January 6th 2021 speech on Panorama in October 2024 had any significant impact whatsoever on the reputation of Donald Trump in Britain, or globally, and the claim for $1 billion damages is bullshit and bullying by the US president

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.

All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

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.

I hear there’s an argument going on in the UK right now about whether or not Donald Trump incited the crowds to violence around January 6th. Apparently the BBC in a documentary showed edits of his speech that misrepresented what he said.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

If you listen to lots of racist commentary, you can, fairly straightforwardly, start to use racist commentary when communicating yourself. This is racist. It is also ugly, but it is still racist.

Here’s a poem inspired by my second go round in the boxing ring with the big C, which I discovered I’d knocked out again on Monday.

What do you do for pupils who have missed lessons due to being absent?

Do you give extra work, catch up work, direct them somewhere etc? What does it look like?

Would appreciate RTs for a wider range 👍

What, other than putting them on top of a pile of books, do people do if their visualiser isn’t tall enough?

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The BBC need to get better at challenging Farage's lies.

"Politicians must be very careful about using the threat of civil disorder to justify policy."

Farage claims a “genuine threat to public order” over small boat crossings, but the reality doesn’t back him up, argue @jonsopel1.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com.
