I’m calling on the UK Government to seriously review its presence on X (formerly Twitter) and then leave. It’s not just a communication channel anymore. Read more:

Put my dodgy shoulder out again when KT’s goal went in. That was very emotional Scotland. Well done boys #ScoDen

Love this!
Our government are, for the first time in 15 years, human.
They are like you and me.
They know how to talk to everyday people, including children.
And it's for all of us they are working to improve the country.

So this is interesting from Robert Peston.
The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong.
As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist!

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

The BBC when there is a real scandal: takes years to do anything, drags its feet, is very defensive

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded.

Imagine having such a twisted little mind that this seems an acceptable thing to say. People like Pauline are the danger to society.
Conservative Councillor says "young black males" are "flooding" the UK
Contacted by Byline, she defended her comments, saying “we cannot sustain the volume of.. black males” that “jeopardises [our] security"
Asked why their skin colour matters, she replied “because they are [black], aren’t they?"

Nigel Farage's hypocrisy exposed during PMQs. 🚨
Farage has earned more than £1.1 million through second jobs since the General Election, but he calls for cuts to the minimum wage for young people.
Unbelievable.

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.
Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Tom Bradby, Joel Hills and Robert Peston sat there on ITV News like 3 nasty little school bullies on Rachel Reeves tonight. Peston actually saying at some point ‘people hate her’. Is he 12 years old? These misogynistic clowns are pathetic.

So finally the BBC apologises: they reached the logical end of their approach to the current government and went for an actual lie (on HIGNFY). The fact that nobody picked up on this at all before the programme aired shows how endemic the problem at the BBC is.
