@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social - pass this on to your bosses (not Gibbs!!) - the Beeb don’t come well out of this.

Today both @bbcnews and @itn couldn’t wait to credit the previous govt on the reduced immigration figures, yet consistently fail to mention the previous govt when negative impacts hit the economy. I’m not saying that the former is wrong, but the latter is telling.

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

God @itnproductions.bsky.social - yours news is SOOOOOO EFFING BORING!!! All you can do is find ANY Governmental mistake, regardless how trivial. It’s just negative, negative, negative. Depressing to watch.

So @bbcnews completely failing to mention that Rachel Reeves’ letting agent had accepted responsibility. Left it looking like Reeves had got away with something dodgy. It really is all about the wording. Disgusting.

No Boris Johnson, Charlie Kirk did not represent "common sense"
His murder was a tragedy. Yet it was politicised by his own side instantly. The reaction revealed much.

@restispoliticsus.bsky.social I do like this podcast, but found ep 111 strange. Apparently the problems in the US are caused by the hard left??? 2 things:

1. The US doesn’t have a hard left!

Posting this extract from a lecture by John Maynard Keynes, speaking on the BBC in the middle of the Second World War, to every Labour cabinet minister
Let us not submit to the vile doctrine of the nineteenth century that every enterprise must justify itself in pounds, shillings and pence of cash income … Why should we not add in every substantial city the dignity of an ancient university or a European capital … an ample theater, a concert hall, a dance hall, a gallery, cafes, and so forth. Assuredly we can afford this and so much more. Anything we can actually do, we can afford… We are immeasurably richer than our predecessors. Is it not evident that some sophistry, some fallacy, governs our collective action if we are forced to be so much meaner than they in the embellishments of life? …

@therestpolitics.bsky.social I’ve just caught up with the Xmas Day edition. I’m so glad that, as a reason for a decline in working people nos in the UK, Rory mentioned the very unpleasant working environments in the UK. I retired early for exactly this reason, yet it hardly ever gets mentioned.

@skysportscricket.bsky.social - amused at listening to the one-eyed South African commentators at the Women’s ODI this morning. Saffers are incredibly biased. Very funny. 🤣

So bbcbreakfast happy now to mention the mess the Court system is in, despite ignoring it for years and years under the Tories. Speaks volumes.
