Very surprised this new voting format got the thumbs up at the Beeb. Also not really sure what it adds vs the previous approach.

The universality is one of the BBC’s most defining principles. Replace it with ads and it is lost forever.
Here's my first cut on the government's fairly radical plans for the BBC. Not sure the BBC even wants this (Tim Davie's rhetoric is universality, universality, universality). Also, can already see pitchforks at ITV and Netflix over a BBC fattened by ads/subs. deadline.com/2025/12/bbc-...
BBC Could Move To Netflix-Style Model & Carry Ads Under Radical Reform Plans
The BBC could be required to launch a Netflix-style subscription service or carry adverts under radical reforms being considered by the UK government.

A Jimmie Johnson driver card was in my desk when I started at McLaren and will likely still be there when I leave.
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

And btw as I’ve written I’m not necessarily convinced BBC should survive in its current form. But I’m far more sure, partly because I’m an actual patriot, that its demise shouldn’t come at the hands of a foreign head of state.

You wouldn’t believe how far the BBC reaches. The furthest away country, you’ll meet some locals. They ask you if you’re British, they’ll tell you about the BBC.

My hot take is it should be a Red Bull Soapbox style exhibition event with a performance section (but Eurovision level of production values) and flying lap at the end of it
I'm not against keeping Monaco I just wish they were more interested in making it work. I'm happy to pitch a project, FOM.

Happy Birthday to the city we call home! 🎉
818 years ago, Liverpool began its journey as a small port. Today, it’s now a global centre for culture, music, sport and innovation - Liverpool has always looked outward and welcomed the world in.
We couldn’t be prouder to be part of this city! 💙

2manydjs are such a class act. Whereas most DJ’s mixes will maybe have 2 mins per song, the Dewaeles somehow are pushing past 2 songs per minute to incredible effect.

Modern drivers can't even be arsed to invent a flap.
June 18, 1967. On this day, American driver Dan Gurney won the Belgian Grand Prix behind the wheel of his very own Eagle #F1 car.
It remains the only win for an American-built car in Formula 1, and one of two wins for an American-licensed constructor.

Ecclestone & Mosley usually got what they wanted in #F1, but not always. Tomorrow marks 25 years since they deliberately rendered the #BritishGP a mud bath & a laughing stock - but the BRDC had the last laugh. Click to read my brand-new #MotorSport column.

Matt Bishop: The British GP 'prank' that backfired on Ecclestone and Mosley
Twenty-five years ago, the British GP was the subject of a 'prank' by the powers that be as Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley made the BRDC hold the race on Easter Sunday. But the chaos that ensued did...
