Important point from the latest Private Eye - the chair of Ofcom was a Tory peer appointed by (now Reform member) Nadine Dorries.
He has joined the latest BBC bashing from the Right, appearing to endorse the Prescott dossier alleging left-wing bias.
Is he still a Conservative party member?

As part of the BBC's defence, could they could point to the final 1 minute 16 seconds of his speech, unedited?
In which he repeats exactly what Panorama put in the edited segments, with the exception of walking "down Pennsylvania Avenue" rather than "to the Capitol".

If I were the BBC I’d frame the letter from Trump’s lawyer and hang it in the downstairs toilet. Come to think of it, I don’t have a downstairs toilet so I guess I’d just put it out in the recycling.

Spliced tapes or not, all the evidence you need about Trump’s involvement in the Jan 6 insurrection is the simple fact that he pardoned every single insurrectionist.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Questions about potential conflict of interest as council’s Reform cabinet member for social care owns private care company
Lancashire’s Reform-run council has been accused of “selling off the family silver” with plans to save £4m a year by closing five council-run care homes and five day centres and selling off the land.

Who wrecked the criminal justice, system including prisons? Was it (a) the Labour Govt that’s been in power for the last 16 months trying to fix a broken country or (b) the Tories who were in power for the previous 14 years, deliberately trashing every public service they could get their hands on?

Good idea from Rachel Reeves…why not, energy is not a luxury. We need to make VAT more progressive actually. We have an official definition of energy poverty. In contrast there is no such thing as flying poverty - because it is a luxury.
