The thrill of right-wing outlets and politicians over the BBC tells you all you need to know...

The BBC is a vital British institution.

Probably explains why #Trump is targeting the BBC, he can't have any news outlet he doesn't control available to his subjects.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

#Trump obviously too thick to realise his usual bully boy tactic that he's used on the US networks doesn't apply to networks that are not US based. He may think he rules the world, gladly he doesn't.

Not sure if the character of Mike Frank's is a pointless asshole in #NCISOrigins or if the actor playing him is a bad actor...

Saying "I was only following orders" didn't work in 1945, it won't work today.

War crime is a war crime.

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

#Trump is such a thinned skinned child, wants his name on everything. We all know it'll be the Trump-Epstien-Kirk Ballroom when finished.
Authoritarians have long used aesthetics of purity and “restoration” (“beautification”) to mask control. And repainting the Kennedy Center as the “Trump Kennedy” Center is cult-of-personality politics, not patriotism.

So, saying I'm listening to one of the Harry Potter books gets me called anti-trans and told I'm allowing the transphobes to profit.

I'd expect that sort of shit on Twitter, not here.
