@WATO fantastic reporting from West Bank by @sarahMontague. Settler violence and intimidation sanctioned by Israeli State.Terrible stories from Palestinians.

@BBC why not put up the excellent Panorama so that we can all judge its fairness for ourselves and not take Trumps word for it, or that of the organised right wing intent on destroying our public service media.
November 9, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Murdoch press in full pursuit of the @BBC this fine morning. Can we step back and ask why the outrage? Could it be part of their sacred duty to destroy any semblance of public service in our media?
November 9, 2025 at 9:06 AM
Could we just recognise the current attack on @BBC by the Telegraph, Johnson et al for what it is- not a complaint about inaccuracy or bias, but a full scale onslaught on the idea of public service media and the right of this country, to have a media not owned by far right billionaires.

As if we didn’t have enough to cope with
Did you know there's a hellhole genre called "inspired by John Lewis Christmas ads AI-generated" where, presumably, people make their own saccharine nightmare fanfic ads but a) they're shit and b) they go on for 5 minutes

How is it possible that we are still exporting arms to Israel?

Sounds about right
I think the difference is that Goodhart thinks he’s being impartial and acting as a public intellectual… Goodwin is just preparing the way for the stormtroopers…

Please please please @BBC don’t make so much of Gaston coverage. It’s rock music. Rock musicians are rough on occasion. Not good but they’re not media moguls/archbishops/ legislators. Maybe British Lawyers fr Israel could find a sense of proportion?

Blimey- setting a low intellectual bar!
I’m sure it pays its way… appearances on R4 and article commissions. He’s the seemingly acceptable version of Goodwin…

Heathrow Airport is of course privately owned. This means dividends instead of necessary investment. Join the dots.

@BBC could we all be aware of how many malign players are taking advantage of the Gaza documentary cock up to work to their true end game- the destruction of Public Service Broadcasting and t BBC in particular.

This is stunning. Need to hear more about one of Londons biggest developers Asif Aziz who has just bought the much loved Bloomsbury YMCA.
“I was sleeping, and then all of a sudden I heard this horrible sound..."

Cockroaches climbing in ears, lifts that haven't worked for years and water being cut off - life in the Croydon flat block linked to billionaire property landlord Asif Aziz

Is it true that US owned,profitable @Boots doesn’t pay its employees sick pay?

terrific story from Jim Waterson.www.London centric.media/p/lime-ebike-story london-switch-cheaper-chinese-tyres?r=3cnw17
Did Lime switch to bike tyres ‘less suitable for London's roads’?
The company denies the change to cheaper Chinese tyres on its e-bikes was a cost-cutting measure, as more Londoners come forward with severe injuries.

Dreadful decision by@guardianmediagroup to sell off Observer to @tortoisemedia.bsky.social Shocking at every level.

Why on earth could the BBC not keep her?
Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning.

She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees.

A real loss for the BBC.

A landmark read! Jaw dropping. Too many crackers things to quote here…. @henrymance.bsky.social deserves a medal for keeping a straight face throughout.

Oh dear. Michael Spencer- who he?- can’t seem to do the sums. And he’s a financier?
FT front page has a story that billionaire financier Michael Spencer whining that top CEOs should be "paid like footballers" to make us competitive.

It then notes the average Premier League salary is £2.1m and the average FTSE 100 CEO earns £4.1m.
