The BBC discourse rn reminds me of how I felt about Brexit. I don't like the BBC or the EU but it's being attacked by people I also don't like and I'm being pressed for a reaction beyond:

Note that still in post at the BBC is Robbie Gibb, who helped set up GB News, and John McAndrew, formerly director of news and programmes at GB News.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

The Labour Party - and Steve Reed - is completely out of touch with reality.

Landlords don't build homes; they drive up prices and suck away our wages. Housing should be a right, not a commodity.

Abolish landlords.
House everyone.

Last night in Leeds, I joined a powerful demo after recent attacks on brown women across the UK.

I almost didn’t want to speak — because it’s women’s voices that need to be amplified. But this had to be said.

If I say Sarah Everard, most people know that name.
If I say Sabina Nessa, far fewer do

"Since 2024, Labour has lost almost 50% of its voters – representing 17pts in total. These defecting voters have split as follows:

➡️ REF – 4.7pts
🟢 GRN – 4.6pts

Labour is losing as many votes to the Greens as they are to Reform".

When Green party critics call our thoroughly researched policies that are often worked through for years "simplistic" "undeliverable" etc, they are never specific about which policies or why.

That's because it would reveal that what they really mean is "our donors don't like them"

Zarah Sultana on how Your Party was different from the Greens:

1. Leaving NATO rather than trying to gradually rely less on the US.

2. Would cut diplomatic ties with Israel, rather than only doing everything else.

What are these other than purity demands that only appeal to a core of activists?

Serwotka, in the Morning Star, tells us #YourParty do "class politics, not identity politics". Which explains their open transphobia.

It also means they don't understand either class politics OR identity politics.
