The more I think about, the more I realise that the attack on the BBC really is terribly thinly veiled - and listening to @newsagents.bsky.social’s episode today, you can see just how dangerous things are right now.

A very good episode from the people who know the BBC best.

So the BBC's immediate response to a crisis of news coverage is 'Let's have more Farage.'

Farage on the BBC again? Will they never learn? Institutional bias?

Turned on the BBC and Nigel Farage was delivering another speech. Does he now have a weekly slot? He was expressing concern that a betting tax would mean that children would no longer be able to put “tuppence” into a slot machine in seaside amusement arcades. Which I’m sure is a real thing.

Post Office Horizon IT contract extended for another year.

PO to pay £41m to Fujitsu.

Fujitsu was instrumental in persecution of innocent postmasters. £1.2bn compensation paid from public purse. More to follow. Fujitsu haven't paid a penny, no one has been charged.

Why is Fujitsu being rewarded?

We have another sign the Labour government is serious about the value of good quality FE.

Not only is there £800m investment, but they are creating Regional Improvement Teams to help underperforming colleges to turn things around, including breaking down barriers to opportinity for 70k students.

As far as I can tell every Trump speech is misleading but the BBC saying that he encouraged a mob to storm Congress and tried to steal an election isn't.

He argues that the real scandal isn’t the edit, but the way it’s being used to distract from 'Donald Trump’s incitement of the January 6th insurrection.' youtu.be/7oXGttEq_qU?...

Anyone charging the BBC with a left wing bias, needs to think about how many times Farage has been on Question Time (and more).

Why is the BBC News going live to Nigel Farage's comments on the BBC resignations when they have broadcast nothing from the LibDems, who have more than 14 times as many MPs or the SNP who have almost double? If the BBC wants to stop accusations of bias they should stop actively promoting Reform.

Oh FFS. BBC going live to Farage again. He never misses an opportunity to wheel himself out and spew his usual nonsense. I'm sure the Lib Dems get this much attention with their much larger amount of MPs. Right?... right?

Did I just hear a trail on @lbc.co.uk where Farage was complaining to Nick Ferrari about political bias on the BBC??? He’s never bloody off it! Anyway that Panorama edit on Trumps speech didn’t present anything other than his actual motive and intentions on Jan 6th
