I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The BBC has an entire live blog this morning dedicated to verifying coverage of the Israeli hospital damaged in an Iranian strike.

Israel systematically destroyed Gaza's healthcare system. 94% of hospitals damaged or destroyed (WHO stats). Sorry but where were their live blogs?

Aberdeen needs more community space, not less.

I wrote to the Minister for Public Finance, urging him to call back Aberdeen City Council's approval to destroy St Fittick's Park.
