Journalist, "Farage accused the BBC of election interference"

Ed Davey, "The interference we've seen is from Farage's friend, Putin"

"We've seen Russian interference in the most appalling way"

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Who or what is behind these false claims need called out. They could so easily lead to a fatal tipping point for people in a hard pressed occupation.
Videos sharing false claims that the government has ordered mandatory livestock reductions this month for farmers to meet emissions targets have been shared online.

But this is not a real policy.
No, the government hasn’t ordered ‘mandatory livestock reductions’ this month to cut emissions – Full Fact
Videos shared on social media falsely claim the government is forcing farmers to reduce the numbers of livestock from November.

Brilliant suggestion from a contributor to @mrjamesob.bsky.social spot this morning - replay the panorama episode with the full clip of the orangutan’s speech. It makes the same point, doesn’t change the narrative presented and shows the accusation of inciting an insurrection was justified!

This is well worth a listen.
Farage & Gill are one. No wonder Nigel is rattled and calling press conferences at a rapid rate to change the subject.

A look at Nathan Gill and his treasonous activities following an almost accidental interview with Polly Weston in 2020.
Contains some typical Farage hogwash smoke and mirrors denials. I really don’t understand why this hasn’t dominated the headlines.

And that's before his missus's Mar-a-Clacton-cum-Frinton pad. Any news on that? How's his expenses declarations case going, and all?
The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

If you don't want to be accused of inciting an insurrection, it's probably a good idea not to incite an insurrection.
Good bit of Insurrection advice right there

The BBC’s week from hell might look like accountability - but there is more than a whiff of orchestration about it all.

When the Telegraph cheers and Trump claps, you have to ask yourself:

Who, exactly, benefits when the Beeb bleeds?
The Beeb Bleeds, the Telegraph Cheers, and Trump Claps From the Balcony
The people who always hated public broadcasting finally smell blood - and the BBC seems too tired and compromised to fight back.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Tim Davie was one of the best D-Gs the BBC has had, and Deborah Turness was a brilliant head of news. Only the BBC’s enemies could possibly be glad they’ve resigned. We’ve now got a real fight on our hands to defend public service broadcasting, because that’s under threat too.

This should be normal for all new builds. Also should be normal for replacement fencing. But are there enough trained sparkies to get things going at scale?
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
