As I remember, didn’t the right wing press basically tell Farage to stand down in the GE 19 election? They had their candidate of choice (BJ), and wanted him to have a clear run. I might have misremembered…

If a BBC board member has conspired to attack the BBC… they might get a gentle letter asking them if they wouldn’t mind, awfully, refraining.
It makes me wonder whether Prescott actually consulted the original source himself & doctored it or simply took dictation from someone else. A person, for example, who had helped insert a right-wing lobbyist who hadn’t done journalism for over 20 years into such a potentially important position…

Not just scientists. Anyone who can help Europe develop capabilities to catch and overtake the US. Biggest opportunity for decades

Huge risk of individuals self-selecting (through algorithm) content that takes them deeper into their rabbit-hole and becoming detached from reality. It’s what has happened to enough US voters that it swung for Trump.

While we talk about how many extra billions are required for European defence, I wonder if £millions to address information disorder in Europe and UK would provide greater value for money security
