I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

And finally, a little bit of video I took at the beginning, with the sound of me saying “ooh that’s funny” removed. This is how it would have appeared to a deaf person…

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Harry Pearson on music over the maych-day PA in the new issue of @wsc.co.uk.
"I cannot hear T-Spoon's Sex on the Beach without thinking of a freezing night in Cumbria when whoever was in charge of the music at Brunton Park had either an extremely cruel sense of irony, or none whatsoever."

The fact that an anti-migrant politician, who tells us every single day that he doesn't like immigration, is saying it once again, is not in any way news

The prequel to unapologetically preposterous period drama Outlander is similarly wild. It’s a melodrama-packed show with an apalling script and questionable premise. But it’s enjoyable nonetheless

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.
Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.
As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

This is a bit of a atretch/hope: there were 5 protests, with the largest two being up to 300 people, a total of around a thousand or so people.
