I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t | George Monbiot

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.
Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

"David Dinsmore is emblematic of everything that has gone wrong with the relationship between power and the press"
Starmer has appointed a former Editor of The Sun – who has a criminal conviction under the Sexual Offences Act – as a communications advisor.
Again, as always, the water we swim in.

This is how "This side says X, but the other side says Y" balance ends up distorting journalism. Instead of being based on the journalist's own independent, impartial analysis this question really just ventriloquises a partisan opposition stance and gives the impression the BBC fully agrees with it.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal.
Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on".
Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA
