Meanwhile north of the country some of our rivers are fit to burst their banks.
Around this time of year and around Richmond town centre, the usually wide and deep River Thames shrinks to the width of a modest stream.

Women's football was growing nice and organically. It was free to air and had growing audiences.
Now, every match I want to watch is either behind a paywall or I can only watch it on YouTube via VPN.

Man from nation whose comparable-sized global city has three airports, none of which they have managed to build a direct rail link from the city centre to yet, comes to Heathrow and announces that the British can’t make anything work.
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Interesting thread from CG…
I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.
The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

Tory culture spox demanding the BBC "grovel" to Trump is baffling. Who is this supposed to chime with?
Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.
