Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Dominic Cummings was always an absolute arsehole.
The Conservative right loves to talk up imagined genius among their ranks when in truth there's nothing there but attitude, flex, and pose. Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Cummings. All tiresome little nobodies trotting out rehashed nonsense. Often nasty.

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

Lord Walney - former head of Labour Friends of Israel - can't even justify the existence of a proscription he has argued for.

The ace @zoejardiniere.bsky.social is doing gods' work on migration issues. Follow and support her if you can.
Call from a producer this morning:
Zoe please help - we thought the panel on our show was balanced, but it turns out they’re both pro-mass detention camps for asylum seekers. Would you come on to be the anti-detention camp voice?
We are in a really bad place, friends, I am telling you.
