Why the BBC's issues go deeper than its 'doctoring' of Trump video
It is not US President Donald Trump who represents the biggest political threat to the BBC, but a leaked 8,000-word letter of complaint to the broadcaster's board motivated by "despair at inaction".

While not good overall for #auspol longterm, there is an exquisite deliciousness to watching #LNP implode over climate change & net zero … payback for all the damage they’ve done to AU, e.g. ETS = big new tax, a lie that they now even admit was a lie, and is now a key gap in our climate toolkit.

@sbsaustralia.nzcow.com as much as i wish it wasn’t so, please follow suit and withdraw if Israel is participating. Love #Eurovision, but there is no space for genocide platforming, and sadly, that’s where the Israeli Govt is currently at.
The Netherlands has joined Ireland in promising to skip Eurovision 2026 if Israel performs. Hard to claim “non-political” while platforming a genocide. Eurovision can’t have it both ways.
I love Eurovision, but I hope more countries join in and refused to participate.

What’s wrong with ppl? Car stranded on remote Eyre Hwy, & 40 cars go by & can’t even be flagged down to help? No shade on solo drivers, esp. women, i get the risks, but maybe stop ahead, and at least have a convo at 50 paces? Kind strangers did eventually solve :) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Stranded Nullarbor driver watches cars pass him by for two days
