The right can't control the BBC, so they want to kill it. By @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

The malign right can't be allowed to destroy the BBC
Panorama made mistakes but this ‘scandal’ is the work of populists trying to control the airwaves. They won’t rest

Tune into Talk Radio, GB News, or certain commentators on X, and you’d be forgiven for thinking the UK is an experiment in multiculturalism gone horribly wrong

Flags don’t mean what they used to just months ago. I’ve written about how I think the same is happening to the poppy.

One thing I noticed today on that topic: so many people are wearing poppies that look nothing like the various ones the Royal British Legion sells…
First the flag. Now the poppy
A sombre display of remembrance is being weaponised and policed by nationalists

Nigel Farage has stolen Nick Clegg’s (worst?) slogan “Alarm Clock Britain”. He’s used it in his speech this morning – but he first lifted it *months* ago, per @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

Farage steals a slogan from the Lib Dems
The Reform leader is to pitch himself as the champion of “the people who set their alarm clocks in the morning”. Has he learned nothing from Nick Clegg?

#RIP Prunella Scales. Photo by John Deakin, 1964.
A lot of people on social media like to point out that when people die the tributes are often accompanied by photos of them when they were young and beautiful (as opposed to old and beautiful). So let me just say that I’m posting this because it’s one of my favourite portraits full stop by one of the greatest ever British portrait photographers. And fuck off.
