The government must remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC board immediately – and end the practice of political appointments, which so badly undermines the BBC, altogether.

Graham Linehan masquerades as a victim.
In reality, he’s an aggressive, obsessive bully - and Victoria Coren-Mitchell just called him out on it.

The Charity Commission 'investigation' of a 'charity' (which is really a free market lobbyist that doesn't declare its funders) incredibly accepts assurances that it isn't an overtly political body.

“Nooooo! You can’t be some dorky conventional presenting lady who looks like a freakishly tall nerdy librarian or academic! You have to shatter the binary, overthrow capitalism, and attack and dethrone God!”
I have no idea how to do that and it sounds like too much pressure and a lot of work.

The BBC have now successfully buried it to page 2 with a ton of news articles, burying it. Very convinced this article was just plausible deniability so they can say they covered it.

People want to blame a single man for this but the reality is that Epstein is the result of a system that normalizes and tolerates rampant sexual abuse of people by wealthy and powerful men. Look no future than Diddy to see how none of these people are ever fully held accountable.

I think Kenan Malik is right, but Katharine Birbalsingh (‘Britain’s strictest headteacher’, who would make Miss Trunchbull blush) immersing herself in the conservative grift and then being surprised by it feels almost like a leopards eating faces moment.
Britain hasn’t suddenly become more racist, but racists have become more assertive in their bigotry. My @theobserveruk.bsky.social column: observer.co.uk/news/opinion...
Modern racism has become loud and proud | The Observer
The response to a photo of a class in London shows how ethnic notions of national identity have seeped into mainstream conservatism

❌ “However, since Brexit the UK no longer has any migration agreement with EU. This is a pull factor, exactly the inverse effect of what Brexit promised.”

Macron is right – Brexit is to blame for Britain’s immigration crisis
The French president did not hold back on how Brexit had created the small boats crisis - the reverse of the promises made by Farage and other Brexiteers, notes David Maddox

Half minded but maybe there should be an effort to flood the Equalities Office with letters opposing Stephenson — letters which (like the committee report) do not mention being trans, but point to other issues.

Please don’t ignore this the next time you’re told “it’s either these guys or Reform” coz this is also what Reform would do and you should rail against it no matter what colour the tie is.
Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.
Thank you, Wes Streeting.

I am now driven to advising families to email named senior individuals in the ICB and the NHS England Board because (I believe) the only thing that might cause them to act is the self-interested fear that their professional CVs are smeared with the deaths of children whose families they ignored.

If you take heroin your GP will help you with blood tests. But if you follow international healthcare protocols and take eg puberty blockers NHS England has told your GP not to help you monitor hormone levels with blood tests. Gender affirming care is, apparently, worse than heroin.
