If @teamlabouruk.bsky.social have any serious aspiration of ever receiving another vote from me and the silent legions like me they will do everything in their power to defend the BBC from the criminal US president and any other foreign power.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

I see the Scumbag Trump White House has co-opted a Taylor Swift song for one of their hideous propaganda clips. If she’s smart she’ll not walk into that trap and let her fans take care of the (right and proper) condemnation.

I don't even like Rachel Reeves, but it's interesting that when it's getting a little more money from the rich it's treated as a raid, as if the Chancellor is robbing a bank. But when it's slashing benefits for the poorest in society, it's treated as responsible, and willing to make tough decisions.

I agree with George Monbiot, I believe Britain has a future very much like America’s present unless we take steps NOW to protect ourselves.

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot
It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world.
10 mins later a right winger linked to my book.
10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all.
But that's how it works.
