Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

The murder of CBS News by Trump operative Bari Weiss means it even more important for the BBC to contest Trump's specious "defamation" lawsuit in Florida. American journalism has collapsed. The rest of us need to double down.

Good morning BlueSky. I’ll be so glad when Christmas is over! Later than usual waking up but did manage to catch an interesting programme on Parkinson’s on the #BBCWorldService Guardian barely worth looking at so will move straight to reading

Betty said I'm pretending to be a meerkat in this photo.
I don't even know what a meerkat is so how can I pretend to be one?
It's quite difficult to understand humans sometimes.

On @lbc.co.uk from 7: Labour’s ban on shooting hares is laudable but will it save these beautiful critters? Civil partnerships are 20 years old - proof Britain’s a more tolerant place? And how has Christmas changed in your lifetime - what will it be like in 100 years time? 0345 6060973 xx

Harry Brook’s moment of madness a fitting epitaph for England’s flawed cult of Baz | Barney Ronay
The day was transformed in Australia’s favour by the batter’s failed swish, a perfect demonstration of talent being wasted and Test matches squandered

Good morning BlueSky. Bit later waking up today, but tea brewing now and looking forward to my early morning reading time. Australia need 3 more wickets to retain the Ashes. @matthew-wright.bsky.social at 7 on @lbc.co.uk - his last show for a while ☹️

Merry Christmas! From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has the EU failed to unite behind Ukraine? Kemi Badenoch has refused to back Labour’s strategy to protect women from male violence saying the whole problem is due to migrants - discuss! Plus if higher wages won’t get 1m NEETs working what will? 0345 6060973 x
