If a reporter asked Mamdani about Charlie Kirk and he replied “a lot of people didn’t like him” we would have the biggest firestorm in media perhaps anyone has ever seen. Pitchforks & op eds everywhere. Non-stop.

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.

My grandfather & several great uncles are included on this list. They fought fascists & had they survived they would be ripping poppies off the lapels of the likes of Farage & Tommy ten names who are re-inventing the Nazi narrative of white supremacy.
This is not what they gave their lives for.

@andrewrawnsley.bsky.social excellent on Reeves’ dilemmas. But why a 2p rise on basic rate and not an increase from 20/40/45% to 21/41/46% which would hit everyone AND levy more on the wealthier?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

@lbc.co.uk has fluffer-in-chief #NickFerrari booked #NigelFarage to come I tomorrow morning to bleat about the #hurtywords of #KeirStarmer today? It’s strange that he’s upset because he’s normally very pro free speech.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m a bit concerned - it’s 11:50 on Monday and Fluffer Ferrari hasn’t announced that St Nige of Farage will be on from 7-10 tomorrow. Is he sick?

Hello? Media?
The news story isn't that an escalator stopped working at the UN.
The news is Trump gave a batshit insane, lie-filled, egocentric, incoherent speech there in front of the world's leaders.

The Captain of Air Force One asked us to touch up one or two areas of damaged paint on the fuselage prior to flying back. I'll tell you what, Benny in Maintenance has played an absolute blinder. They're going to be delighted.

Shocking from @easyjethelpdesk.bsky.social at LGW N today. 1.5hr delay so far - they call the gate and push all the speedy boarders through and they say “Opps, half the crew are over hours so sit down again as we’re not boarding after all. Surely that’s a basic check to do BEFORE opening the gate!

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social it’s disconcerting hearing Farage’s fluffer Ferrari talking about online safety when his hero is treasonously telling the US to sanction us for stopping free speech.

Good grief, @mrjamesob.bsky.social ! I’ve accidentally turned @lbc.co.uk on early this morning. How do you manage to say “Thank you, Nick” every morning without vomiting into the microphone?
