It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Has Labour gone for any of the targets which are typical of Labour? Lowly paid migrants, who we need to support our care needs and home building targets. OAPs. The poor disabled. Those who care for the disabled. Wealthy farmers, maybe? NI contribution that hits wages and job creation. Cowardly.

What are the great sitcoms of the last 15 years? There is a debate on X about it and it nearly drew me in! Would rather have it here. I’d say Motherland, Catastrophe, Good Place. Fleabag not quite a sitcom I guess?
