I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Just so we're clear: President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Washington Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi, saying "things happen.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...
Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

I just ordered one strawberry milkshake.

EMPLOYEE:
Oh - yeah sorry
5
EMPLOYEE:
The milkshake machine’s not working.
6
EMPLOYEE:
The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.
7
CUSTOMER:
Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah
8
[We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter]
EMPLOYEE:
If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage.

[Customer looks inside the cup]

[Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup]
CUSTOMER:

Post hoc ergo proper hoc - can we please disentangle failed asylum seekers having children and not being sent home from the reason people have children - do we really believe that’s the main reason they are having them? Really?? #r4Today

Can someone ask the government minister why giving people a legal route to enter the country to claim asylum would not serve as a disincentive to getting on a dangerous boat? Why do we think refugees care about their children less than us, ffs? #r4Today

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel.

She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.
Badenoch says hacking into Harriet Harman's website 17 years ago 'not the same' as Reeves breaking law

Kemi Badenoch has said hacking into Harriet Harman's website when she was younger is "not the same" as Rachel Reeves failing to get a £900 rental licence for her home.

Ugh DPD the delivery service that (am guessing) sits in a warm warehouse sending “sorry we missed you” messages to everyone sitting at home waiting for deliveries and then makes you schlep to their collection point while charging their customer for deliveries they never make. 🙄 not a bad work model!

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Mel Stride on #r4Today saying the proposed Tory welfare cuts are “considered and principled” - good to know they’ve really thought about how to focus on the poorest people to make them poorer and that’s a conservative principle! Nice to see them doubling down on the horror of the last 14 years!
