The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

Anyone else finding that Bluesky on iOS gets “stuck” on videos? Like you can’t hit any controls or close the video (but it keeps playing), only solution is to force quit the app. I swear it’s happening on most of them now, it’s made video unusable.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

I want to begin with acknowledging this was not a solo decision and I absolutely hold blame with the CEO and the outgoing President of the party.
