The BBC talks to 450 million people a week in 40 languages, writes Stephen McNair. Undermining it would silence one of Britain’s last great global voices. In a fragmenting world, the BBC is still a trusted news source. That’s why some want to weaken it.

I’m worried about Richard, the supposed Reform candidate in some council by election or other in Lincolnshire.
Look at the faraway look in his eyes.
The sadness.
The furrowed brow.
The dull listlessness…😔
Is he being held hostage against his will by Andrea Jenkyns?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan on why the Far Right lie about London crime: “They don’t want our modern, multicultural, progressive metropolis to succeed because they can’t stomach the truth. London is a place where people of every creed, colour and culture live together in peace and mutual respect.”

Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected.

Most people don't understand how much a billion dollars is. It's difficult to comprehend. Comparing a million and a billion using time helps: A million seconds is almost twelve days. A billion seconds is nearly thirty-two years. And yet we have multi-billionaires. Nobody needs that much $

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”.’
