With the whole of the political right ganging up on the BBC the only political leader prepared to defend the BBC and pubic service broadcasting is @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, well done him 👏

So far, only one political leader is prepared to mount an outspoken defence of the BBC
As part of its editorial independence, the appointment of the BBC's next editor-in-chief is meant to be entirely down to its own independent board - and out of the hands of ministers.

Really fun crowd in York tonight featuring someone with a lactose intolerant fridge and a man who definitely doesn’t have 7 TikTok accounts. Plus Geoffrey did a joke about Riverdance that I remembered from a show I did as a student. 6 shows down, 12 to go! London on Thursday - please come!

Very good passage on Farage. "Decline is good for their business... When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about Britain's future? He doesn't like Britain... He wants you to doubt it as much as he does."

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.
He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.
A Brexit Party MEP.
A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:
"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

UKIP used to insist on principle that MPs who defected to them resign and run again in a by election. Has this principle been forgotten? Can someone ask Farage about it?

Bottom trawling is incredibly and depressingly destructive, and the new footage in the Ocean documentary makes that very clear. It’s not only unnecessary, but counter-productive. And yet the UK government has just decided against a blanket ban.

Asking rich foreigners to pay the same tax as everyone else is not "forcing" them to leave.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US.
⚽️🏆
America is clearly not safe to travel to.
🇺🇸 ❌
Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.
🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸
Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.
