If the BBC gives one penny of tax payer money to that orange rapist I’m cancelling my license fee and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

Hot take here but it will completely destroy any trust that it still had. Caving to (literally) demented wannabe fascists is not a good look.
Will Tim Davie’s resignation be enough to restore public trust in the BBC?

I watched Trump’s entire Capitol speech live. He 100% encouraged what happened. Now people are resigning over saying that?

Really loved this section on Peter’s book about the Sighthill Stones
@plasmatron.bsky.social @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social FYI. That article is in the Herald today, as I mentioned. Thanks again for being part of it.
"Weird things like the standing stones give the city its soul." There's an extract from Upon A White Horse in today's @heraldscotland.bsky.social. It's about Glasgow's only stone circle. I'll be talking about the book at the Aye Write book festival on Nov 15.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government
The far-right conspiracy site Infowars says it has signed the Pentagon press agreement and says Breanna Morello will be joining the 'new media' press corps covering the Defense Department.

I’ve not been overly on-line today but “does having a Nazi tattoo mean you can’t be the new voice for the left” wasn’t the debate I expected to see 😐
Fuck this. If “Nazi tattoo” doesn’t cross the line, you have no line.

Ok, let me get this right.. The UK government is “deeply saddened” that thousands of violent islamophobic thugs aren’t coming to smash up Birmingham. 🤷
Absolutely fucking incredible stuff, diplomatic masterstroke from Lisa Nandy and the Rakestepper General.

Feels like an astute political operation faced with both (1) a threat from Reform and (2) the now almost universal belief Brexit turned out to be a disaster might be able to make something of the fact that Reform literally used to be called 'the Brexit Party'.

Calls grow for parliamentary rule changes to strip Andrew of titles and ask questions of royals
Parliament is under mounting pressure to examine what the royal family knew about Prince Andrew’s links to Jeffrey Epstein and introduce a mechanism to strip him of his titles.
