It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.
The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.
The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Yes, Nigel Farage made an actual promo video of his poppy performance in Walton-on-the-Naze today.

Why is it in the UK only #BBC Director-Generals & senior staff who resign & are held accountable when their organisation is in crisis? Only the BBC seems to be held accountable. Unlike banks; the post office scandal; NHS; Farage & Brexit where people can lie & nothing happens.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

BUY SOMETHING!
Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.
It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.
So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.
