Good to see #Newsnight going hard with Epstein/Maxwell. He's a foreign leader trying stick his oar into our affairs with a legal shakedown for cash. Release the Epstein files.

Just seen Mason gabbling like a fool trying to defend Robbie Gibb. Tbf, he looked visibly very rattled. Clearly forced out to try and divert. Not his finest hour, in a career littered with, let's face it, shit moments.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.

All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

Honestly, I did NOT have "punching the air and going HELL YES to Chris Patten" on my bingo card today. But what he says is SO rarely said and needed saying SO badly!

"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Maybe they have all missed BBCQT, Politics Live, Daily Politics, and This Week for the last two decades, for which Farage has his own dressing room.
Farage accuses the BBC of bias on Europe, immigration, the environment, Gaza, and Trump - to a hall of toadies roaring their approval.

And in the blink of an eye, turns to his actual employer "a much perkier GB News," then remembers "although I have to declare an interest." ~AA

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’
Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed
‘Gibb’s supporters say he is trying to save the BBC from itself; he was also heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way, he would “blow the place up”.’
“a group of politically-appointed directors has forced the hand of Samir Shah,the chair, and the departure of the two most senior people in the organisation. Their resignations should be called out for what they are: political interference..”1/

The headline to this one is - Daily Mail owner seeks to dodge tax. It’s not really a shocking story, it’s not like we would expect anything better.

Blair or Brown would seize this opportunity to make sure the Beeb appointed someone they could at least rely on to be *fair*. Lisa Nandy is probably booking her staff Christmas do or some such.

Nice to see this exclusive report in the Guardian, breaking the news that I reported 3 years ago in "The Decade In Tory" (one of dozens of lucrative, mostly wasted COVID contracts via direct connection to senior Tories).

Revealed: the billion-pound PPE contractor with a Tory MP on site
Special report: Uniserve was paid £1.4bn for Covid contracts that included supply of £178.5m in never-used equipment

When I see a headline like this

“UK military to help protect Belgium after drone incursions”

My thought process is👇🏼

Russia ➡️ Reform ➡️ Former head of Wales prosecuted as Russian Stooge ➡️ Farage Putin fan defended invasion of Ukraine ➡️ Paid to appear on Russian TV & met Ambassador 🟰#ReformTraitors
UK military to help protect Belgium after drone incursions
Sir Richard Knighton, the UK military chief, says his Belgian counterpart asked for assistance this week in the form of UK personnel and equipment.

It’s as if they think we’ve all been in a coma for the last 15 years, rather than watching the Tories smash it all up in front of us.

Very good on our ‘let’s-not-bother-with-right-wing-racism-or-Farage’s-corruption-and-let’s-blame-Labour-for-everything’ media.

Dunno about you but I can live happily without hourly BBC updates on prisoners released in error

There’s tens of thousands of criminals with live arrest warrants at large across UK that haven’t been caught yet..

BBC aren’t interested in those.. because they don’t know how many are migrants 🤷🏼‍♂️
Two prisoners still at large after being freed by mistake in 2024
Two others are still missing after being released in error in June this year.
