BBC reporting at length on corruption in Ukraine.
Silent on the corruption that rages around Trump that is an order of magnitude greater. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Could the Ukrainian anti- corruption bodies be asked to investigate the corruption that rages around President Trump?
America seems incapable or unwilling to investigate.
Or they are getting a cut…

“Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he’d ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners”

Just FFS investigate the whole dodgy traitorous lot of them.

Fewer workers. Fewer international students. More people leaving.

A "step in the right direction" according to the PM.

Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*.

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI.

If as Home Secretary you are looking at the significant reduction in people choosing to live and work in the UK and deciding it's a good idea to "go further" you've conclusively shown you aren't basing your policies on anything resembling reality. The repercussions would be devastating for everyone.

How Beijing came to dominate the critical minerals

While Western ventures scramble for cash, China has “a long view on this stuff and the money part is not a big deal,” said Peak’s former CEO. Peak is just “one more rare-earth deposit” they’re “bringing into China.”

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Three things to bear in mind about yesterday’s #budget.

1) Our overall tax take is still proportionally less than other Western European peer countries.

2) Brexit

3) Liz Truss

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.
