There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.
But it's our BBC - and it's important.
Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.

Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"
"This is sociopathic behaviour"
"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
"I'm not a fan of Trump"
Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

Starmer isn’t “about to call a general election”, no matter how excited Chris Mason is, or how gleefully the Corbyn nut jobs repeat the bullshit from “unnamed sources”
Calm down.
Ends.

The reason I hate the never ending opinion polls on what may happen at the next GE is because I think they're destabilising and damaging to our democracy. Sensible people know these polls are meaningless but the media leap on them, allowing them to set the agenda and endlessly platform Farage.

In anticipation of the Tory and media outrage about any tax rises, here's a few manifesto pledges the Tories broke. Build 300,000 new homes, end rough sleeping, ban no fault evictions, build 40 new hospitals, no new tax rises, cut NHS waiting lists, end child poverty, levelling up @lbc.co.uk

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

If Labour were truly in the pockets of the rich in the manner claimed by some of their left wing opponents then, why have they have been subject to what feels like a media coup since the day that Keir Starmer came PM.
