The BBC censoring criticism of Trump from one of their Reith Lectures is seriously worrying.

The Liberal Democrats have written to the BBC Director General Tim Davie urging him to stand firm against Trump’s bullying and broadcast the lecture in full.

I was going to suggest that this post from @donald-tusk.bsky.social is far too subtle for the current US President, but reading the quoted posts it seems to be too subtle for a good chunk of bluesky as well... 😕

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.

I wanted to buy a tubular scarf off Vinted but it came with a frilly Elizabethan collar and the seller wouldn't split them. Still, I suppose you have to take the ruff with the snood.

It is indisputable that Brexit has been an economic disaster, and notable that none of its political architects have paid any price.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Hey @metoffice.gov.uk, do you have any plans to bring back your Android home screen widgets? #ukweather

These were really useful (and apart from anything else, since the app 'upgraded' itself I now have three big gaps where your excellent weather widgets used to be 🙁)

Ambition's good, but I suspect this will end up with 4 chimneys max by the time it's fully designed/costed etc. And it'll be all the better for that. With 12 chimneys it's an OTT mess. #bcfc #Birmingham #efl #football

In a weird way, it’s easier to process ruining lives through rabid ideological zealotry than just doing it out of lazy, incurious transactionalism. I don’t know how to handle that level of profound evil.

One of the most enraging things about the shit the Trump Admin is doing to destroy a century of medical progress and bring about a new wave of disease focused on kids is that Trump doesn’t care!! He literally doesn’t care at all! He’s happy to just nod it through because some guy did him a favour

This does feel like a major crossing of the Rubicon – the world's best-funded and in many ways most powerful public health agency is now actively pushing disinformation.

I know there's a *lot* going on to care about at the moment, but this one really is significant, and matters well beyond the US.
The CDC website now disseminates disinformation about vaccines, claiming erroneously that infant vaccines might cause autism, when we know conclusively that they do not. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous this is. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...
