Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.
Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Another visit today to Stokesay #Castle (it’s not possible to make too many visits). Built in the late 13th Century and ‘modernised’ in the 17th Century when the timber framed gatehouse replaced an earlier one.

It’s often said, with considerable justification, that their pursuit of #Brexit meant many of those with ability left the #Conservative Party. What we hadn’t previously realised is that it appears to have included those with the ability to spell.
"They want to run the country. They can't even spell it right."

Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.
Also frankly I am quite desperate! A party that’s at best ambivalent on the question of whether I’m English and wants to deport my friends is 9 points ahead in the polls and the current leader is floundering and visibly out of his depth!

I’m backing @joshbabarinde.bsky.social for President of #LibDems.
With next election looking like its xenophobic nationalism versus progressive liberalism, the LibDems’ top team need to be principled, assured & appealing personalities that perform well on the media. That’s why Josh gets my vote.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.
Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

Pershore Abbey at sunset yesterday evening. #Pershore was the location of my overnight stop.
The first phase of construction of the fine building that survives today dates from around 1100. Although the site had been in use during Anglo-Saxon times, possibly as far back as the 8th Century.

Celebrating Ukrainian Independence Day in the Ukrainian Carpathians, with my friend Inna.
I’m grateful that #Ukraine is an ally and friend of the UK. Ukraine resists Russia not just for themselves but also the whole of Europe including the UK.

Juries are randomly selected members of the public. Men and women from all walks of life and all political backgrounds.
Only a moron of irredeemable proportions would even think of suggesting that a jury verdict represents some deep state “two-tier justice”.
