Good morning
You've made it, this is the shortest day of the year. From here on the days get lighter and longer

May this Solstice and turning of the wheel bring you love, peace, and good fortune in the coming year.

Let us welcome the returning sun with Hope and Joy. May you never thirst! 🌱💚

The legislation said any redactions must be explained.

One of the documents has 119 ENTIRE PAGES pages completely blanked out, without any explanation.

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people.

Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot?

What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?
Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Hi Nigel Farage you just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here you are, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated.

A reminder of how the BBC covered Boris Johnson's long record of lying, as being a "complicated relationship with the truth".

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.

Original development also received significant EU funding.

Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

Given the sentence handed out to Reforms Russian spy I wonder if the BBC will feature Farage in a Russian hat.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Absolutely this.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Looks like the "removal of statues etc is erasing history" folks are actually into doing those removals if the history being erased is the history of black people
Here are the two plaques that were removed. I am so ashamed of our racist current administration.
