So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

This is an entirely preventable attack on our democracy.

A £9m donation from a man based on the other side of the world is illegitimate interference that will distort and unbalance our political system.

I'm deeply disturbed by Labour's failure to insulate UK democracy.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Portraying weakening the European Convention on Human Rights as the answer to the issues society faces is extremely dangerous. It opens the door to us one day leaving the ECHR altogether
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Liverpool limited Haaland to his joint-lowest non-penalty xG in the league at home, missed two big chances and suffered two subjective VAR overturns for (I think) the first time ever.

Working class people (not just politicians) are held to higher moral standards because they have fewer people with real power who can speak up for them and cause sway. It’s literally why collective action is so vital
This Rayner thing has me furious. Yes she probably has to go but Farage is literally paid into and offshore vehicle to hide tax. Rees Mogg has a company in Cayman and countless other right wing grifters avoid and evade tax every day but absolute silence. Honestly hate the media in this country.

There are a lot of idiots enraged by this misleading Times headline.

The article itself - yes, the exact same one - points out that:

A) In any typical year, about 50 independent schools close

B) More independent schools opened than shut, so the overall number went up.

But that's far too nuanced.
