Anyone else think it odd that the normally vociferous Tory shriekers Badenoch & Jenprick have remained so silent over the weekend?

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.
Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News.
GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though

How will I react to an increase in income tax @mrjamesob.bsky.social?
If it gets public services back on track, provides vulnerable people with support they need, repairs underfunded schools, NHS & other public buildings then bring it on.
She's better tax the obscenely rich at the same time tho'🤨

As you may be discussing the deck-chair arrangements at the BBC spare a thought for the replacement team who bring hours of appearance experience, if not actual discernable skills 😁

Back in 2019, a report called “Weapons of Mass Distraction” dissected how states like Russia and China weaponize our own social platforms.
Six years later—end of 2025—its lessons are more relevant than ever. 🧵

Beyond just the absurdity of this photograph of Trumplethinskin standing around bemused in the Oval Office, I also can’t help but think he is really, really looking old now.
As in, probably needs assistance in hygiene and other ADLs old with an associated high frailty score.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

In this week’s instalment of “we desperately need yet another press event to survive”, Farage will presumably talk about the importance of weakening “woke” labour laws and say something idiotic like “maternity leave has gone too far”.
