Some mind-blowingly kind reviews for my latest book NOTORIOUS.

I don't know who you all are, but genuine, heartfelt thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Also - why is the BBC interviewing an employee from GB News. He's not an MP.

Mogg's suit is his armour.

His cut glass accent and Etonian affectation are a force field.

Beneath them both, he's a rude, insufferable arse.

Jacob-Rees Mogg supports President Trump's right to sue the BBC

He then repeatedly asks Gillian Tett questions but doesn't let her reply, so Victoria Derbyshire has to step in and tell him off

Wonderful, thought-provoking night with @bylinetimes.bsky.social friends at the Cockpit Theatre

Andrew Neil could host This Week on the BBC while being editor of The Spector.

The hysterical cries of "bias" only go one way.

When my kids were little I flew to Bangkok for work. And honestly the sleep there and back... and the uninterrupted opportunity to watch films were the highlight of the trip.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

These abject chancers expect us to sit by and nod along sagely as they splurge their hypocritical nonsense.

No thank you.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

A former Plaid Cymru Chief Executive
is now being paid £190k a year as the
BBC's Nations Director.

This is living proof that the BBC is
infected with left-wing bias right to the
top-

I sense that Trump has watched the first Austin Powers film and decided it was an instruction manual

Meh! BBC should apologise again and agree to air Trump's speech from 06 January, in full, for 'balance'. 😉

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

If you have a doubt the MAGA attack on the BBC is not co-ordinated, read what GB News owner told the US

“We need you to come and save us. To rescue us … You are making America great again… We need to make Britain great again”

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 21h

Yup

What IS shocking is the disinformation hellsite that is X and the frankly appalling GB News which for reasons known only to OFCOM is allowed to keep using "news" in its title.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 21h

The BBC - for all its flaws - remains the greatest news and broadcasting service in the world.

It is everything Donald Trump and his cabal of nasty little nobodies will never be and we need to defend it.

Notable that the supposedly “patriotic” wing of British politics wants to destroy / defund almost all of our national institutions

If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

The BBC is tearing itself apart to appease publications and politicians who want to see it die.

An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.
