Morning all. I'm joining Guardian colleagues on strike today/tomorrow over the future of our sister paper the Observer. Not sure if being on here is work or procrastinating from work, but anyway, I'm off that too for 48hours. See you Friday. (Also: if you value news, & can afford it, pls pay for it)

It's a tricky award this year for the Spectator really. You see, Keir Starmer took his party from one of its worst results of all time to a landslide majority. Ed Davey multiplied his party's seats by a factor of 9. Nigel Farage put his party on the map in a way it hadn't been before. Who to pick

Incredibly proud of this. The story of the BBC from its birth to the present day. It's the story of serious-minded humane people doing serious-minded humane things.
🎙️New episode out📽️ What shaped the values and structure of The BBC? Unusually for @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social, it's a story filled with optimism and idealism. Listen ⬇️

As someone who has multiple disabilities, survived cancer 2X, & lives with Lupus, my purpose in life is to advocate for others as often as my body allows me. I vow to have oversight for healthcare and Social Security in the next 4 years of the Trump administration. We all must hold them accountable!

Wow, thank you all for following: 300k-plus followers on @bsky.app, for a site I only had 30k followers on before the election and that I barely checked. Crazy growth in just a couple of weeks.
I am loving the energy and engagement, and lack of trolls, on this site.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
