I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

Apparently the remembrance poppy is being weaponised by the far right like the St George's flag. So here's a 70 year old absolute weapon sporting the poppy at parkrun on remembrance weekend. #oblivious 😆

Future task inevitability. A mercurial genius on our allotments site designed, installed and maintained a well water storage and distribution system using scavenged materials. He has passed away suddenly and I think I will have to become de facto hydrologist. OMG 😳

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This sort of expensive nonsense is everywhere on the HS2 Phase 1 route. I'm so glad I moved from Buckinghamshire before the juggernaut really got going. Failure at every level of government and governance. No public good whatsoever for any element of it.
My latest: Move over bat tunnel, here’s the wild story of how HS2 were forced to build a multi-million pound bridge for a road that… doesn’t actually exist.
How HS2 built a bridge to nowhere
A state-of-the-art road bridge has been built deep in the heart of rural Buckinghamshire. Designed to carry traffic over the HS2 railway, there's just one tiny problem - there's no actual road.

60 plus anti racist people vs eight fascists. (Including their bored spouses). I’m far too ill to sit in my wheelchair for that long.
The flags don’t represent the friendly Devon town that welcomed me 20 years ago. Kind actions represent this country not pieces of cloth.
