In part 2 of my @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation, I reveal how the 'BBC bias' memo - written by a Trump-aligned lobbyist whose firm was paid up to a million by pro-Trump donor tech giants - was politically biased and reliant on pro-Trump partisan sources bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p...
The Pro-Trump Bias of the 'Neutral' Sources in the Leaked BBC 'Prescott Dossier'
Byline Times’ analysis of key sources in the memo about the BBC’s alleged ‘progressive bias’ shows it relied on highly partisan right-wing, Trump-aligned organisations

Seems like quite a moment. This morning, the UK was powered entirely by low-carbon energy, it seems.
Yes it's windy and sunny. But it's still a milestone.

We could have declared "100% zerocarbon" this morning when renewables+nuclear were generating 100% of UK consumption.
As usual this drove our price down, so exports up, and we had to run gas just to power the exports.
NESO set hard target that ZCO has to include exports as well as UK demand.

A key attack line in the next few years coming from Trump/MAGA and Reform is that university teachers (lecturers/professors) are poisoning the minds of young people, brainwashing them into leftist thinking. Make no mistake, this is a pretext to defund the sector. 1/n

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.
