If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.
Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

The BBC’s Attempts to Appease the 'Right-Wing Coup' Against It Are Now Seeding Its Own Destruction
By attempting to appease those forces seeking to destroy them, the BBC has helped trigger a crisis that now threatens its very future, argues Adam Bienkov

Why is Farage on TV again?
Because he called a press conference.
Why did he call a press conference?
To get on TV. And in the press. Clue's in the name.
Why don't Labour do that sort of thing?
Who can say why Labour do or don't do anything these days.

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

It's been a long but brilliant (as always) day at the NEC Classic Motor Show, with some glorious cars, fab chats, and frankly tremendous merch.

I for one am shocked to find that the reason Twitter is now a cesspool of hatred and bile is because that is what is being deliberately cultivated by the ketamine-addled Nazi man-child who owns it.
